Another bump in my road

I have 3 more weeks of chemo (just one day a week).  Yesterday was supposed to be the first of those three.  My liver enzymes were elevated!  I also had a temp of 101.5.  No chemo for me!

I was kinda happy because I had gotten a fill Tuesday and my band was too tight.  The fill doctor said to come in as soon as I could, so when chemo was cancelled I went and got my unfill.

Today I had a liver ultrasound.  My temp is down.  I'm not sure what caused the liver thingy.  The chemo doc says a virus might do it.  I'll find out Tuesday when I go back to see her.  Then Wednesday I'll get my chemo going again.

Oh, the chemo doc says I shouldn't try to have my shoulder surgery for at least 6 months after chemo is done.  My immune system will still be compromised and healing will take longer and may not be as smooth. Darn!

Things just keep getting more interesting!

Grammy,

I love how you turn things into a positive and hope that should I ever face the challenges you have, that I can do them as gracefully.

Sending you hugs and positive thoughts, Laureen

I totally agree with Laureen.  You're such a positive person.

Thanks, everyone for your kind thoughts.

I've always been a 'glass half full' kinda gal.

And 'If God brings you to it, he'll see you through it'.

I have to admit I do get down somedays.  But my husband, kids, and grandkids are enough to make me realize that it is what it is, and I have to roll with the punches.

Wow, I wonder if I can fit in any more platitudes?

You have pot holes not bumps.

I hope you can get all your tests and shoulder taken care of.

You are in my thoughts.

Peace
Mary

I am on my way.  What a ride it has been.

Some people might not support my WLS decision. 
Those people remind me of slinkys. Not good for much but it would would bring a smile to my face if someone pushed them down the stairs.
