February 15th Tuesday

We got home around lunch time on Sunday the 13th. Shortest stay ever for me. I'm so happy to be home....as usual. It will be a while before I can be around anyone but I have lots of little projects I can do around the house. I have learned my lesson about going out when my white counts are low. It's way too easy to catch something for me. But I am feeling so much better and I look forward to a little cooking and baking and have the energy to do it finally. Turner's first soccer game is tonight and I can't wait since I have not seen him play since August. I can watch from the warm car. I will miss jumping up and down but I can bounce on the seat! He is the team captain! I'm so proud of him.
As usual I want to thank everyone for your prayers. Nothing better than prayer.
I love you all,
Lundy

February 10, Thursday

We got here yesterday afternoon around 4 after waiting all day for a room to open up at the hospital. They just got me started on my chemo (11:30 AM Thursday). I have 3 days of this and then I can go home and have a nice long break. I will have made it through 3 of my 4 rounds. I keep saying it over and over in my head and I still can't believe I only have 1 more round to go. It seems like yesterday when the doctor told me it would be 8 treatments and 8 months. He said "this isn't a race, it's a marathon." He wasn't kidding, but I've done 6! Can it possibly have been 6 months already??? If it were not for my family and friends the time would have gone by so slowly. I have felt so good for the last 2 weeks. It was really hard to come in yesterday and give all that up. I have cleaned out closets and done taxes and caught things up that have been sitting since I got sick in July. I haven't had this much energy in a very long time. So I know I am getting well! Nice feeling. I had really hoped I would be able to go home on Sunday but since they are late starting everything it will probably be early Monday. I'm excited to go home. Turner has his first school soccer game of the season on Tuesday so I have something big to look forward to. Can't wait to see my baby play. I missed out on all of his club season games in the fall. That was hard. I think I will be able to make most of his games now, thanks to everyone who has been praying for me.
Love to all,
Lundy
