No Fl for me

[Mickey527]

I had to make a decision today that upset me. I was so looking forward to getting to WDW for the holidays but it is not to be.
My chemo is wiping me out. My Dr said that infections happen to "a few", low counts happen to "a few" nausea happens to "a few", mouth sores happen to "a few" etc... Can you see the pattern here?
Well right now my counts are low. My temp is going up, from 99.9 this am to 100.2 right now. If I hit 101 it's back in the hospital for me.
I got my last chemo 7 days ago. My next is due for the 20th and we were supposed to leave for Fl on the 27th. I have to be honest with myself and realize that it might not be a good idea for me to be away from my Dr in case I have problems again.
So, if anyone needs a home that sleeps 14 people let me know, otherwise I have to cancel on the guy. I feel terrible doing that because I just gave him the final ok the other day that we would take the home. I wonder if he will forgive me and let me rent from him in May when I am done with Chemo and ready for a trip?
I wish I could be with all of you who will be down there that week, but I have to think about my health.
All I can say is "Cancer Sucks!!!!" Peggie

Peggie, I know you were so looking forward to going to WDW for New Year's. I can only begin to imagine how difficult all this is for you. Continued thoughts & prayers ...

Judy would have said the same thing, just not out loud.

Soooooooooooooooooo sorry to hear this. Maybe you should start planning another date when you think your stamina is up to it!

 

[LynniethePooh]

Me crying, that is!
Man, Peggie, when you do something, simplicity isn't the keyword is it?

I am so so so sad you are dealing with this nonsense. I wish I could hug you and make it all better in an instant. It breaks my heart to think what you must be dealing with.

Love you woman...HUGS and more HUGS

Cancer does suck!!!! And Mike if Judy didn't say it out loud...she was probably thinking it a lot....she went through so much....

But now we have a new agenda...getting it together for when Peggie CAN come down...Lynnie..two great minds can surely come up w/ something...

But for now...Miss Peggie...since you can't make it...is there something we can pick up for you down here..that you would just love to have....and I don't think Scoop can be shipped..but mostly anything else...or any pics I can take for you???

I left you a note to that on the traders board...so let me know...we can be your Disney Santa...I'm married to this ..great...photographer....I'm sure Mr Raulandpinboy would love to do something special for you...so just say the word...

Thinking of you lots...

And all your friends down here send their best...Manny & Michelle June & Bob..Dana & Michael and family...and of course your speedo loving Ed...he would have only done that for you...

We are so sorry to hear that you will have to cancel your trip Peggie. We hope that things start getting much better for you really soon! We are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers!!

Peggie - I feel worse about you not being able to go than I do about us not going down to WDW either. As hard as it is to accept, though, you're doing the right thing for your health.

I'm not sure, Donna... I think with a little "persuasion" we might just be able to figure out a way to ship Scoop up there to CT... I do have my handy-dandy trusty bone folder, you know! (Okay, okay, before anybody freaks out about that, I'm kidding! (But this time, let's remember to punch a few air holes for him, okay?)

Sigh... tough room...

Cancer Sucks! -- Peggie, when you're right, You're right!

That's why you gotta kick it out, slam the door, and change the locks.

I'm so sorry your trip must be postponed. But that just gives your more time to plan a bigger, better celebratory excursion!

Gentle Hugs from MD.
