Exactly 7 years ago, my birthday weekend. I was in the thick of it.

I had to move  by myself to Florida for Tx.Chemo had transformed me into " Uncle Fester" I had sores in my throat, bloody nose.Alone, sick, awful awful time.  It actually even  hurt to take a shower.

to put the icy on the cake the 3rd hurricaine was hitting the hovel that I was staying in.  Howling winds, shingles off the roof, massive leaks, lost 2 windows. no water, noelectric,no phone you name it for 3 weeks. Stores had no generators, no food. Even as  gas stations could not pump gas (I didn't have a car  there though) I was soley dependent and desperate. All I could do was cry like a baby.

It is now exactly  7 yrs later, birthday weekend coming up and another hurricaine is heading for me.

The difference is I am home, I am well. I am with my DH , my pup, and my kitty   I am safe.  I am blessed and I am so Happy to be another year older! Laughing

I wish you all for a safe through this treatment time. You will get through it and it will become  a memory.
