I head off to Scripp's this morning for my port removal. Considering it's pretty much a holy day, a day of holy obligation, I feel pretty good about this day.
I cannot wait to get this thing out of my body because it's caused so many issues. I have one week till my next chemo appointment (Treatment #2).This is completely reminiscent of my first chemo treatment -- I had just had the port placed into my body. Now, chemo #2, I will have the port out of my body. Go figure.
I'm not afraid, I just want this out. I ask this:
Please pray for me and my family; please keep us in your good thoughts; please send only good energy our way. Thanks again. I will see all and talk to you later. Off we go to La Jolla. As we travel down, I will be head banging to some Bon Jovi, Luther Vandross, or whatever happens to fill my yen for that moment! Might even be my HSU Calypso Band music!
Ciao! Ciao
PS. HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE! This is the time of year of new beginnings. I love this time of year -- even more than Christmas. May you all be able to enjoy your families and dear friends. May it be filled with only love & happiness.
i caught myself up.... got 48 pages sent to my supervisor ..waiting to get ready and go do dinner. Loreto and I were talking about what is was like for him when his mom did chemo and lost her hair. he said that she kept it private to herself and always wore a do-rag type thing..so as though a hat and it wasn't a big deal for everyone. As though she was just always prepared for some hard core cleaning or cooking or whatever. I wanted to pass it on. Going to have dinner with Amelie at a pizzeria..i'll eat a fiori di zucca for ya..mmmm, cannot wait.
