LIFE'S A BEACH!

Checkum....Thanks Again....I went Exploring & Found lots of Shells all lined up for US!

I'm Loving the Views.....

It Looks Like You Can Have Wonderful Perks on this Island....

 Fun Places to EAT.....

Faithy.....I'm thinking Spring....I know it's Spring.....But the Air Temp Doesn't have a Clue! Brrrrrr!

Hahaha, does this qualify?

Edit to say..........and once again I was on the wrong page.  Sheesh between wrong pages and red X's..........

I'm so sorry I have left you guys wondering. Thanks faith for keeping our gals informed as much as you can. Also thanks to all for your prayers.

I will post this, I copied and pasted from 2005 chemo board.

I'm tired.

Update on Michael:

His test was negative so far. But the doctors said there my be cancer deep inside the tissue.  He has a large colon tumor. We won't know anything more till the surgery on Tuesday. I will update on FB more because that's where friends and family all are. So much easier to keep up with .

I will also update here , just not sure how often.

Keep us in your prayers.

I am so thankful for your friendship.

Thinking of all my beach friends today, you all mean so much to me.  Words are just not enough. 

Ohhh Dream...maybe you're the only one who can smell it:) but that's bad when you have to smell something like chemicals. I wonder how long that will last?

Is Faith passing out gold stars? Well, I have been a good girl and I want one too! After taking a very very short nap, I went outside and dug up a bush that I've hated since we've been in our house. Now you talk about hard work......whew! Now I need to figure out what to put in that corner of the fence....something bright and pretty and low maintenance....any suggestions would be appreciated....

(((((((((((Mary-Lou))))))))))) praying for you and your DH. The waiting part is so hard!

Think I'm just gonna take a time-out here if I don't get my gold stars

Goodnight ladies, sleep good

Hello beachettes, it's finally me! I have had lots of pain and discomfort in the last several days. If I was in a little less pain right now, I could make this story sound interesting, but I can barely type this. The pain in my chest seems to be untouchable, no amount of pain pills help. I had been getting IV fluids every other day so that I could nice and hydrated for Hawaii, but they took a chest xray today and says I am carrying about 3 pounds in fluid around in pockets in my chests and my pleural wall. I thought it was miraculous when I weighed myself yesterday before hydration and had gained 3 pounds! So it turns out the hydration was harming me rather than helping me. Meanwhile, at infusion yesterday they thought I looked very gray, so measured my oxygen sats and found that while laying down I was only getting 84% oxygen saturation. So they ordered me oxygen. The oxygen just finally arrived a few hours ago. I could barely breathe and felt like I was losing consciousness all day. So finally I got hooked up to the oxygen and immediately felt much better. But there is still the chest full of fluids and the crazy chest pain. On top of all this, I met with my lawyer for the first time this morning and had to make a bunch of crazy decisions.

It's just too much for one day! I can't believe I am actually going to make it to Hawaii. I do have to call tomorrow and order up some in-flight oxygen from the airline. I hope that all works out fine. I already have it arranged to have the oxygen set-up awaiting me at the cottage. Okay, I am going to sign out before I pass out, but first I want to thank you all for your continued prayers and support! If I can get myself there and back in one pieces, I will be thrilled!

Thinking of you Mary Lou ((DH)) and Toy...

Positive energy and thoughts & prayers will be with you all day...

Look out Kauai, 'cause here we come.

Wait up... I just finished packing...
