I mixed and rolled buckeyes today.   Tomorrow I will dip them and then will be able to get my boxes ready to send.

I was able to be home much of the day.   It started out cold but the wind was down and temps were in the 50s which is quite comfortable for this time of year.

My Easter/Thanksgiving/Christmas cactus is blooming.    For the FIRST time in my life.    I guess the sunroom is a comfortable place for it.   When I get more blooming, I will try to send a picture.

I wrapped presents today.    The ornaments.     This weekend, I will make the Buckeyes, then I can spend the week getting packages ready to mail.    I want to get them out by the 15th or the 18th at the VERY latest.    That way I can send them just plain express mail.

Anyway, it was VERY cold, 19 degrees when I woke up.   I was glad that I did not have to go anywhere today.    Bart stopped by at lunch time so I got to eat with somebody.   I had my soup and he had picked up a burger.    Just SO good to have company at a meal.  

I fixed a pork chop for supper and ate half of it.   The first cutting meat that I have had in quite a while.   It tasted good too.

It is a red letter day.

I had my blood test then saw Dr. Aye, the chemo oncologist.    She said that my white blood cell count is up.    She also said that I do NOT have to do the 6th chemo treatment which was supposed to be next Tuesday.   Yeaaaaaa!    That means that I should be pretty much over the chemical and radiation induced ickyness by Christmas.    Yeaaaa!

I will see Dr. Aye in early February AND have the Petscan to be sure that the cancer is all gone.

I am sure that it will be.   After all, 2018 is going to be a great year.    Has to make up for 2017:)

Tomorrow I will go with Bart to the Center for a CT Scan for him.

Glad my day went so well.

Well,  it has been two weeks since my last radiation treatment and almost two weeks since my last chemo.    I still feel like I have been run through a wringer but am sure that as time passes, my body will start healing itself.

Tomorrow I see Dr. Aye and hopefully will hear that I don't need any more chemo.    Please pray that this is so.  I have lost the weight I regained and would like to get an appetite back again, so I can get some strength and start feeling better.

Nice warm day today.   Temps will drop 30 degrees tomorrow.   Talk about a roller coaster of a weather ride.
