I got to stay home all day today.    Boy, was that a relief, even if it does get a bit long sometimes.   As I say, Nicky is a good companion, but a poor conversationalist:)

I made the cranberry relish today.    You have to make it ahead and it lasts forever.    It also freezes well, if that becomes necessary.   I believe I will test it tomorrow when it has matured.   I do love that relish.

Yesterday, I felt squishy all day.   Today I felt pretty good.     The break in treatments really helps and I only have two next week, Monday and Tuesday.   Then that welcome three week break.  I figure my appetite will come back in a week or so and I can gain some of that weight back.

Did a bit of sewing today too.    Tomorrow, I intend to go to Mass, then do some more sewing.    At least I WANT to do things.  A good sign.

So until tomorrow.

A busy day.

Radiation this morning.   Only 2 more to go.    YEA!!!!!!!!!  The last will be on Monday.   Then Tuesday I will have my 5th Chemo.    BUT when that is done, I should have three weeks without anything but blood tests each week.   That will give me a chance to heal.

The last Chemo is December 12, well before Christmas.   YEA!!!!!!!!again.

This afternoon, the Lawton Celtic club met.   There were 9 of us there this time.   We are slowly growing.   This time we discussed our DNA and Ancestors.    We are now meeting at the new Shamrock Pub in Lawton.   They are glad to have us.     Good food.    I had Shepherd's Pie.   I can't eat much but it was super excellent.    I will nosh on it for the next day or two.   Next month we are going to discuss Celtic Christmas traditions and I am bringing a Barm Brack to share.   Barm Brack is an Irish fruitbread that is wonderful for the holidays.


Tomorrow will be quieter.   I am glad.   Just radiation and shopping.   I am sore and ready to be home.

Had another lab test and another radiation treatment this morning.   Only four more radiation, the last on Monday.    Yea.    I am so tired.

Today was a very special day.   Jim and Michelle came down from OK City for a visit.   Hadn't seen them since Christmas so it was great to all catch up.    Bart came over.   Unfortunately, Barbara had to work.    They looked well but are facing some health problems, much like the rest of us.   We all vowed not to let this much time pass without seeing each other.   We live much too close to let that happen.

And we had such a good time.

We are planning on spending Christmas together again.    Family time.  Can everyone else come too:)

I also voted.  There was only one issue and I almost passed but the voting place is close and I had not to use my right to vote so I went on over at about 5PM.    Don't think the turnout was too big.

What  a day.   Had a blood test and radiation this morning (only 5 more radiation to go) and a CT SCan this afternoon.    Tomorrow, hopefully, they can tell me why my tummy is hurting so much.

Tomorrow morning I am still scheduled for a lab test, but believe they will cancel that.   I have radiation at 9:30AM and hope they are on time as Jim and Michelle are coming late morning and Kerry is coming to clean at 10:30AM.

It was a nice day today.   No sunshine but after the morning chill the temperature was quite pleasant.   Nicky and I took a nice gentle walk.

Until tomorrow.

Well, tomorrow I will get  my CTScan FINALLY.     I have started taking my anti iodine pills already as prescribed.

I have lab tests in the morning and possibly a radiation treatment.    Who knows at this point.

Have had stomach pains most of the day but forced myself to eat.   Not much but at least I ate.

Hope I have more exciting news tomorrow.

I was at Bart and Barb's for supper tonight.   The Missionaries came to give Bart a blessing, so I asked for one too.   One can't get enough blessings in my book.
