So Many of you...

have sent me notes, cards, emails.....and I am beyond grateful.  Really, I have no words to thank you for the prayers and concern you have shown me.  Some more than people I have known for a lifetime.

I am on the mend.  It is slow.  I don't know if you realize, but I actually was in the hospital 2 times in less than 2 weeks.  I have be extrememely ill, and in fact, it is an answer to prayers that I am still here. 

My daughter came over yesterday and spent the entire day cleaning and decorating for me.  I haven't done much else.  I will see my doctor on Tuesday and hopefully get some more direction for my health  improvement.  I do want to be clear though, this was  not the cancer, but the cancer treatment.

Please continue to keep my entire family in prayer.  We have been dealt a blow emotionally.  To have one part of your family at death's door definately knocks the wind out of you.

I can't wait to be strong again, and do my blog the way I like to do it...happy and encouraging.  But honestly, right now, I will TAKE encouragement.

Have a great weekend.....Talk to you soon!

I have Missed you all!

This is just a very short post to say hello and I have missed you.  My chemo therapy did not go as planned and I have been in the hospital.  Oh, I want my health back.

Physically, I am a mess.  It is going to take me a while to get back to where I was.  My hair is gone and I can't seem to get rid of the fluid on my legs since hospitalization.

My husband, he is a bigger mess.  He just has been side himself with worry.  One day I could not see a thing.  I begged him last night not to take me to the hospital again soon.  Talk about scary.

I am home.  Thank you for the prayers, the cards, the flowers, the gifts....but mostly the concern.  Please keep me in your prayers.  I don't really know when I will post regularly again.  I will, just not soon.  I need to get well.

I hope you all had a blessed Thanksgiving.  My hubby is actually putting up the Christmas tree this morning.

Hello Blogger Friends

I cannot even begin to tell you what my family and my body has gone through the past 2 weeks.  There is no energy to share it...at least now.  Suffice to say, Yeah, even though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, Thou art with Me.
Please thank you for the prayers and keep them up.  I have a LONG way to go.  I love you guys.

Saw the Dr. today....

and the official word is  - I am sick.  I got a couple of new presciptions...and I see him again on Friday.

Thanks to all of you for the encouragement.  It means so much to me and my husband.

I hope I will be posting real soon.

This chemo is kicking my butt!

I haven't been on the computer much.  I just have not felt like it.  I pretty much ache all over.  I knew Sunday was supposed to be the worst and I am thinking it is.  Thanks for the prayers....I will be back soon.

Something That Has Never Happened to me Before...

Happened today.....

Yep, a bark scorpion.  Been in AZ for 17 years and I have never seen one before.  Where was it???  Oh, it thought it was a welcomed visitor in our home.  NOPE!  A dear neighbor came and killed it.  Hubs was at work.  Got the house sprayed again.  I know the spray doesn't kill the scorpions, but it kills their food.

There is a NO VACANCY for scorpions here!

Never happened before, and I pray, it NEVER happens again!

Halloween Grandchildren

I am not really into this....but, it was what they wanted to be.

My granddaughter is a doctor zombie.... I have NO IDEA what kind of zombie by beautiful grandson is????

I guess they had a good time...!!!  Me and Bentley???  we just cuddled.

Recently

My hubby and I have been enjoying the cooler weather and taking some little jaunts on the East side of Phoenix.  We used to be West Siders!  It is all new.
We came upon a sweet Farm Market.

It is Vertuccio Farms in Mesa......

It has a sweet little store that was so fun to see area made products.

Well, I had to buy this!

Many of you know why.....I just could not resist!

Friday

was  fun day....I met with fellow bloggers for lunch.  I am waiting for a pic to post....we talked and talked....I thought I might hit HL before I drove home, but when I looked at the clock after all that talking, I knew I better head to my side of town.

I did stop at JoAnn's by my home.  It is not a super one, and I wasn't hopeful for much but I did find a sweet pillow at 70% off....my kind of deal.

My hubby when he stopped for some pop and tea brought me home this....

I said, is this my witch's broom?  He said no, just knew I would love the scent.  It is cinnamon and it has filled the whole house with it's scent.....

I did have all my pretests done Thursday and I thought all was fine, but found out yesterday that I have basically no phosphorus in my system.  I didn't know I was supposed to, and I sure don't know where what I had went, but I am now on a supplement.  Praying that my levels will come up so I can start chemo on Tuesday as planned.

I hope you all are having a great weekend.  Hubby will be with me this week.  He always stays home the first week of a new treatment....just to make sure I am alright.  We went for our "cart" ride with Bentley.....

he is getting anxious for Howl-o-ween!!

No, bubba.....you really are not a Bad-Dog.....you a Good Boy!!

Time

Is anyone out there that believes like I do, that somehow time is faster than it used to be?  I am struggling to keep up with everything and trying NOT to get frustrated!!

I have so much to post about, but finding TIME to do the posts, challenging.

Spending most of yesterday at doctor's offices and tests...didn't help, but it was necessary.

Tuesday afternoon my husband, due to a Groupon purchase, took me out to lunch someplace we didn't even know existed in Phoenix.

It is called the Farm.  We loved it.  Just a bit of country, right on the edge of a mountain.

Enjoy some pics!!

The lunch comes in Baskets....and this pie was delicious!

 Look at this patio floor....one girl had heels on...she was struggling to stay upright!

I had to take this pictures....I told my hubby, the girls will love all the rusty chippiness!!

Hope you enjoyed the tour!
