18 days till Spring!!!!
I've been among the missing again, but I'm hanging in there and taking one day at a time. As I sit here, I'm waiting for my gyn/onc to call and discuss the results of my CT scan. He was out of town last week and today is the first day that he is back in his office. I did get the results from the med/onc but he was hesitant to discuss anything with me because he is not the head doc on my case. I will say that things look encouraging, but I need to speak with my gyn about everything. I'll let you ladies know soon!
I don't think that I mentioned anything about our visit to the Ronald McDonald House. Its such a wonderful facility and a perfect place to stay with a sick child. Each room is decorated with a kid's or local theme (think Jersey Shore but not like the tv show. LOL!) It has 20 plus rooms and serves the southern NJ and Philadelphia area. Philly is about a mile or so over the bridge and then you're in the downtown historic area where several of the great hospitals are located. I got a bit emotional after being there. It kind of put things in perspective for me with my illness. No matter what I'm going thru right now, I can't even begin to imagine what it would feel like to have a child fighting cancer or some other major illness or the need for life-saving surgery. So I'm going to continue to make the welcome bags and probably volunteer in some other way also when I'm totally back on my feet again.The Give a Day program responded quickly with my vouchers. I had them 4 or 5 days after we visited the house.
I have to work on my messy desk and bills now. I'll post again when I hear from the doc.
Make it a healthy day!!!!!
