How Sweet It Is…

…To Be Loved By Rick
I don’t think I can say this often or strongly enough. Rick has helped me through this whole process and I can’t imagine making it without him.

…To Be Home
I’m sorry I haven’t updated sooner, but get me near my computer and photo editing software and I am soon lost in that world.

But home is a much better place to be! Rick has been here a lot and continues to need to do quite a bit for me. Wednesday was my strongest day yet and I felt 80 to 90% back to normal, but I’ve had less strength and stamina since – perhaps due to tapering off prednisone. I’m eating and drinking as I’m supposed to be but fatigue is a huge issue and I need to incorporate exercise into my routine.

…To Have Shannon Here
She flew in from Boston on Wednesday night (18th) and it has been wonderful! Only two more days.

…To Be Released from the SCCA
More of events happening quickly. After being released on Saturday, I had clinic (SCCA) visits on Sunday, Monday, and Thursday. At that last visit I found out I would be “released” from SCCA care on Monday, the 23rd, and on Wednesday, the 24th, will see my chosen Oncologist (Dr. Markowitz, at Steven’s Hospital), weekly for at least a month, then less often. These appointments were all made for me and came as a surprise, but a good surprise.

…To Have Support from So Many
I can’t say thank you often or strongly enough. Cards, emails, visits – though I may not have responded to you individually, they have all meant so much. I look forward to seeing some of you in person soon. (For those who are local, I’ll be sending an email that goes over Immunosuppression Protocol.)

Thanks again. Each of you is a gift to me.
