It's like a garden tour! I could never walk the garden and the pictures are heaven. I can't do much these days.. even with the fluids. i threw up everything I drank today. Miserable. Managed to keep one clear boost down 8gms protein 180 calories..not life sustaining. Hence I am wildly tired and weak. DH did find the seaband at Walgreens and between that and zofran... the last 4 hours have been doable. There ws a gorgeous wintery sunset.. steely skies, setting sun and white clouds through the grey and silvery trees all bare. Very pretty.
It was sunny today and DH planted some tulips in our front planter containers. I love their sunny faces. Should have gotten them in sooner but.. no energy.DH was sweet enough to do it. Hope I see them bloom. My poor 14 year old must have been more effected by watching the nurse access my port and watching me hang the fluids then I realized. She has been quiet and sullen, not talking. Now a reminder of the ever presence of cancer boxes of pleurx and saline. Can't be helped, price of staying alive. The oldest and youngest of my kids have the hardest time. We will drive to see DD2 at college tomorrow taking the whole family. I hope I manage the day and the drive, NV... but if I want to see her it's a 2 hour round trip car ride. So I'm going. Dh drives.
Thank you for your photos and garden tours and kindness I am blessed. Lovingkindness back to you all. Much love. rosevalley

Hi Patty I am so discouraged. I threw up a huge amount this morning nothing is staying down. It came out my nose.. coughing my head off. Ugh... Everything is such an effort. I want to see my daughter so badly. I only get to see her once a month. Pray I muddle through.. trying to suck on hard candies for a little sugar energy. I am so tirred. Thanks for the well wishes. hugs to all.
-
oh dose. So sorry. You sound miserable ut still pushing forward for your children. Wish I could send you some energy for today. Hope the ride is smooth and maybe you can sleep and rest so you'll have some energy when you get there. Youre strength is an inspiration. Praying for you and family. Big gentle hugs

Little Rosie....I'm there with you....... I'll hold your head, and put a clean wet cloth on your forehead, just like I did for my Daughter's when they were sick....
When my Aunt was so sick from chemo, they told her to drink Coke syrup! Don't know where you could get any, but just trying to think of how it would help.... maybe just COKE?
I'm praying for you.......... I'm glad you checked in........... xoxo

Ididn't go. I threw up violently right before we were supposed to leave. The thought of 2 hours in a moving car was too much and I bailed. My sadness and disappointment knows no end. Still hanging my head in a bucket cold and drooling isn't helping anyone. DH and DD1 and 3 will have a nice visit and take pictures.
I am sad and sitting near the patio doors. We have a bird feeder with sunflower seeds and a suet feeder. As I was nursing my woes... along comes a great big Flicker those huge birds, grey ticked with red throats and a long bill,..lovely. He pigged out at the feeder. Then apair of doves, Then our resident Toheeys kicked up the leaves looking for eats. Then a pair of varigated thrushes...huge cinnamon colored birds with such gorgeous marking white, russett black...they popped in. There were clouds of nuthatches, chickadees and wrens and junkos... a birdy fest. Like the heavens sent a show to make me feel better. Even in my humble 1/4 acre backyard in the city limits there is life and nature when we really look. A gift for me... gratitude!
-
Yes, Rose. A gift to remind you that you are deeply loved and not forgotten despite the horrible physical and mental suffering that you have beenenduring. I am amazed that you choose to have a heart of gratitude. You, Susan, and Patty are my heroines.
-
I wish I could bring you the real ones.
