3 more treatments!!!!

Tomorrow I am headed to chemo, but only 3 more to go. YEAH!!!! The neuropathy in my feet is really getting bad so it is time to quit these drugs. I finally went and purchased my first pair of Crocs today as the Dr. thought this would help the pain. They are just not that attractive but if it helps I guess it is worth it. Function over beauty....it is just hard to pay $40 for ugly shoes! My sister-in-law Elaine and I had a busy day today. She was in town with my father-in-law for a Dr.'s appt. so we made the most of the day. We shopped for hours and I am sure that didn't help the situation with my feet! She is getting ready to travel to Uganda with her son David so she got a lot of shots today too. We started out at the health department where she received 3 shots and ended up at a place called the travel and immunization clinic where she received another shot. She was a good patient but they wouldn't give her a sucker because of the risk of choking so I took her for a malt instead! She didn't even need me to hold her hand like I do with my kids when they get their shots. We shopped for clothes for my father-in-law as there is not much of a selection in Stockton, Kansas. He even has a new suit for Hosea's wedding this summer. He looks mighty handsome in all his new outfits. He had to model for us to make sure everything fit. I have been feeling pretty good this week. Aside from the foot pain I have also been dealing with nose bleeds and some back pain. Not sure what the nose bleed thing is about but I had 3 of them today. Very inconvenient. The back pain may just be because I am trying really hard to start building up more energy so I am trying to do more...just trying to get back to where I was last October. Maybe I am rushing it...who knows. I am just tired of being a chemo patient. Have a fabulous weekend everyone!

Thanks for helping my mom and Pepere! If it helps any, I'm wearing even uglier crocs than you right NOW. Tie-die with paint splatter. I put them on because I needed something comfy around the house and dont want to put on socks & shoes - and flip-flops dont have any support. Then I sat down and read this-too funny.

Take it easy ~ relax ~ it's summer ~ enjoy ~ you'll get back to where you were and better soon enough!

We love you!
