Post by donna on May 14, 2018 9:49:06 GMT
it is 5:30 on Monday morning. I had a good night after blowing 2 IV lines yesterday. They finally caved and accessed my port. So much has changed in a week. Last weekend my GI Doctor basically had me days away from death. My family was planning the minute details of my funeral. I am so thankful for the positive attitude of my oncologist and the surgeon. The bypass surgery has bought me more time. I have no estimates on that, but I am happy for each day. I still don't have a lot of energy, so I won't be posting a lot until I do. jenjie has been wonderful to take care of that for me. I have had loads of family visiting and most of my Atlanta friends have been here as well. I am so blessed to be loved by some great people. I have felt your love and support as well. The fact that so many of you have banded together to make scrapbook pages for my boys has filled my eyes with tears more than once. i am going to go now because I am nodding off due to my pain meds. I love you all! |
