Well Sew Me Eye Shut!

Well Everyone, I went to me Eye Specialist today, and Dr.Perry said "Let's Just Sew The Thing Shut"

It appears that NO Moisture, No Regular Eye Closure, and No Feeling have created a not so real pretty situation for my Right Eye. They are going to close it this coming Monday and will keep it closed untl sometime in May. This will be about a year after my last surgery.

Is it what I want? NOT

The Doctors main concern right now is just trying to save what I have left in that eye. He said the eye is heavily scratched and dry and therfore damaged.

The long term plan is not settled, they will wait until my face finishes drooping.

As For Now

Much Love

Winds, Cereal and Sweats Oh My

Well I know it is not the Hurricane but it has been some mighty strong winds today, and might I mention they have been HOT winds, YUCK! I like this time of year for the cooler temperatures not 88.5 degrees and hot winds. I am ready for the cool down.

I have not felt well at all for the record today. I have been really off balance and kind of sick to my stomache. The real big problem I have had today are those nasty, I repeat Nasty head sweats, well today they were all over sweats. Any part of my body touching something else just created a drenching affect!

So, since my radiation has started my love for Ceral has increased more than ever. I can eat cereal for every meal. I seem to accomodate cool food better than hot. I am sure the milk helps with coating my stomache since the Decadron I am taking for my swelling they say is very rough on your tummy!

I know this looks real healthy and if you are against sugared cereals, just close your eyes right now. I am normally a Cheerio and Rice Krispie eater, but I stopped at Marc's one day last week, and what can I say:"This was on sale"

Luckily for me I am maintaining my weight even on this steroid, but I know it will not last forever.

Not feeling well so I will go for now. Much love.

I know it has been a couple of days, but just feeling pretty tired! Treatment has been going about the same, I have been coming home feeling pretty exhausted, but guess what? After the treatment today- I ONLY HAVE 4 MORE. Overall the 30 sessions went all alot faster than I anticipated. It will be so nice to wake up next Friday and NOT have to go to Cleveland. My treatments will continue to work for 2-3 weeks after my radiaition. They will not be taking another MRI until December. So I am having my eye focused on Monday before my radiation. It sounds like I will finally have some down time before December. Randy and I have tried to go away like for a weekend but I have always been battling this Braon Tumor so I hope I can plan something! Well let us see how today goes!
Much Love

To be made or un-made

Well today was an O.K. day. Marie was as usual my Monday Driver, however I do not know what she was actually thinking. All I know is that she was on all kind of backroads and eventually got herself confused and it toolk 10:20 to 12:36 to get to me treatment!

But anyway, as I was getting ready this morning, I had made the bed it was a a chilly 58 degrees!!

So I went to take my shower and when I returned my bed was unmade and there was 2 dogs in the middle of the covers;>)

Not fast enough to photo the dogs:(

See the Doctor tomorrow- Please pray for my eye- I have no vision right now in that eye!

Much Love

Saturday-Hobby Day

I will take one of these please!!!!!!!!!! Oh and yes if you want to offer a Combo Deal I will take the Turqoise one as well. This is a 1959 Corvette and the one next to it was a 1958 Chevy Impala.

Just Dreaming!

These were cars that were on display at the Hobby Day our church was holding with the Lutheran Church. There were alot of Vintage Cars and some other hobbys displayed. The event was used as a Community outreach, they had Testimonies and Singing going on as well. Randy displayed his work in progress (1966 Ranchero) hopefully someday it will be complete. I was asked to share through testimony and song, I did, and hoped it was a witness to someone.

I felt fairly well today but would ask you to pray for the vision in my right eye. Today I have no vision in that eye, only light, and the eye is very red and inflamed.

Thank You and Much Love

WOW, that will sum it up!

Well, Well, Well

Last night 9-4-08 I attended radiation at 4pm at at Tower City for Supper and yes, that is right, don't even be jealous- I went to the American Idol Tour Concert at 7pm!

Just imagine sitting in an Arena that holds up to 14,000 people and the floor literally vibarating from the music. Then suddenly raising up out of the floor sitting at your piano and just singing like a pro! Thats my little David Archuletta. He was the reason I was really there. David Cook that Idol guy, he was OK but it was Archuletta as to why I was there.

My friends Merry, Pam and my sister Karen all together this last season every Idol night-and decided to go to the concert. I am so glad we went, I believe we all enjoyed ourselves! My health conditions were pretty good, besides being very hot from steroids, I considered that very minor.

All the performers were great- however there are some that just dont trip my trigger-that would have been Carly and Ramielle.

And there was David Archuletta, have I mentioned him???????????

You can imagine how mad I just was, when I read you can not have cameras, yea well I will know the truth next time.

Well I went to treatment #21 today-yea thats right back to Cleveland. Hey- 9 more to go!

Woo-hoo-woo-hoo-woo-hoo-woo-hoo-woo-hoo-woo-hoo-woo-hoo-woo-hoo-woo-hoo-woo-hoo

By the way Emily-great performance by Michael Johns

sarrrr-ry

First, just thought I would share a Picture of my Tweety that my sister drew an incision on, I just think he is to cute to throw away. Besides the fact he is now getting old and just could be an antique!!

I apologize for not updating, but I have not been feeling well.

I did not have a treatment on Labor Day, but had one yesterday and saw the Doctor. I waltzed in with my list from Friday Afternoon on as to how I was feeling all weekend. The list included the following: Jittery, Temp of 100.3, Blood Pressure, Pulse, and Blood Sugar as well as Head Pressure and Massive Head Sweats. I saw the girl that weighs you and no change there (woo-hoo) then my radiation nurse and then Dr. Sui.

Well to make a long story short- They are side effects of the steroid-Decadron and I just have to live with it! They will not do away with the steroid because of the brain swelling. Lucky Me! So I am really trying to rest alot, hoping I feel better for my American Idol Concert!

I left feeling unsatisfied- Robin informed me that thats not how I should feel:(

Much Love
