Another flurry of doctor visits...yippee!

Met my oncologist today, and we liked her VERY much. Very straight-forward.  Long story short, I get a port put in this Wednesday, and need a few other things checked. Then we start 8 rounds of chemo every other week...translates into 4 months, assuming I tolerate it all well and things go smoothly.  During the off-weeks, I will see my plastic surgeon for his procedure. Not my favorite...

3 doc appts. this week. At least 2 next week.  It's a very good thing there is online shopping or I wouldn't be getting any Christmas shopping done!  :)  She does want to get started before Christmas, which is a bummer but what I expected.

SO thankful today for:

• My sister-in-law, Carolyn and hubby, Buddy who were my partners at the oncologist's office.
• Protection over my sister, Padge - she was actually admitted to the hospital last night suspecting heart trouble. Turns out it is something related to her bronchitis from a month ago.  She needs rest and Advil, and will be okay. But she was unable to join me...she was frustrated, and yet thankful it wasn't more serious.
• Dinner brought after a very long day.
• Seeing Bobby before he left.
• My ongoing Christmas elf, Kristen (and Buddy...putting up outside stuff!)  The house is looking festive!
• My plastic surgeon giving me a reprieve today from doing an expansion.  I was so thankful for that.
• Getting my stitches out!

I am learning more and more that there are things I am thankful for...I can't even remember them now, but try to give thanks at the time.  Blessings to you and sleep well!
