I hadn’t planned to be away from the blog this long, but after Joe’s treatment, we got busy and life went on. It turns out that my absence was a good thing because I was able to get some great “Kodak Moments.”
Chemo treatment 3 went smoothly and the days following were good, very good. Joe didn’t experience the dreadful nausea or discomfort that he did after the first two treatments. He still had the fatigue, but we can deal with that.
It was just us for the weekend. With Joe doing so well, we encouraged Ben and SallyAnn to stay in the city and enjoy some time at home. They are such great kids, and have been here with us after the other treatments. They are both so uplifting.... We are blessed and thankful!
Life can be so spontaneous and random. When you’re fighting cancer and ill from chemo, you grab ahold of the moments that might otherwise seem meager, or “every day.” These things are no longer either of those; phone calls from family, enjoying music, a tiny cup of coffee, greeting cards and emails, pouring down rain, yard work, planning a camping trip, ice cream, the Sunday paper, silly photo ops, relaxing with your beloved puppy, beautiful flowers, rides in the truck, and visits from friends and family.
We are anticipating a fantastic, long weekend with Ben and SallyAnn in Eureka Springs, AK. We’ll be staying in a nice RV park with beautiful trees and a pool. We’ll be cooking on the grill, roasting marshmallows for s'mores, and just “kicking back” and enjoying the good life....
Be sure to check in after the holiday, and PLEASE, we’d love for you to leave comments... tell us about YOU and your lives!
Love, Vicki & Joe
