Sensing Season Seven Is Going To Suck

Do you ever have premonitions?

No, not the kind that you're being wed to the Lord of the Rings, but the regular ones.....
the ones that you're the one in charge and you need to have xxxx in order to reach nirvana today,

Yeah, I'm having a week that is firmly saying "Yeah, don't count on that".

I have all my pills, in the pill vial for the proper time for this week. I'm talking them at the surmised hours....

But it feels like holy hell is waiting.....

I'll have to keep you up on it.

This is Debi. you're bloggette, and it's 4/21,

Sleep well.


Day Two (Tuesday):

Vomiting in the middle of the night! Yeah! Hurray!

*sensing you can hear the sarcasm*

Oh well. It's appeared to be kind of a blah day, so....

Movies it is!


Day Three (Wednesday)

So far, so good. I seem to be "settling in" now.

So, why does it feel like everything is happening behind my left ear???

*smh*


Day Four (Thursday)

Up at "The Witching Hour", 3 a.m., and still very upset, but still at a loss at to what I did to upset Bill - short of EVERYTHING. (This is why Chemo Week is always so much FUN. I'm trying to take enough of everything to do it's job, deal with the extra crap that comes with it - i.e. the nausea, the vomiting, the "chief of everything bad that can happen" stuff AND, obviously, deal with the husband who's losing his mind over the stuff HE'S having troubles with.....)

I'm hoping for a day of sunlight, as being cooped up all day doesn't help. All I've done is sleep.....


Day Five (Friday)

The official "Last Day for Temodar"..... which means a few more days of random itchies.

Officially, it's a "last day for the overhead cloudage"....but I don't see that happening. This cloudy weather seems to happen on days I probably shouldn't go too far....and this trip. the Temodar seems to be centering on my left ear and it's direct routes. Having nothing untul driving the Girl Child to work, I think I'll go lay down for a while......

Hopefully, this results in the ear being "cured". It's had Tinnitis for several years....at least since 1988....


Day Sixth - the leftover's are (hopefully) done...

The only reason I'm here instead of replenishing groceries is simple:

I couldn't do a full aisle without having to sit down. Maybe in a day or two, but not today.....

As most other months, I'll feel a little more "well" every day for the next three weeks, and then it Temodar time again. Too bad that the weather is "iffy" again this week......

Oh well, Thank you for sharing "a week in the life". It's a sad week. but oh well. I'll get over it.

Photographs and Memories

"Photographs and memories
All the love you gave to me
Somehow it just can't be true
That's all I've left of you" - Jim Croce

My mom likes to choose when she decides to give me something. She chose this weekend, when her family was together for the Laflamme Family Reunion (dedicated to her mom and dad, both passed away) that she wanted to pass on Dad's photo albums and his three yearbooks....

After all, I'm the one who's been seeking out the genealogy since he died of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma in 1980.

I was NOT ready for this little bit of "family memory".

The photos are typical for young family members, pictures of happy times and happy people. The sad thing is these pictures, mostly of Dad and his sister, Caroline, who was 8 years older, chronicle the happy years on the family farm. Both would be dead before the 80's.

There are also a couple that I suspect are of his sister's, Lillian, Ninette and Lovina. Ninette was the first to pass at 24, having been married at 14. He would have been only 7 when she passed.

And of course, the pictures of my dad, happy and healthy, well before any of us had cancers.....

Those are the best and the worst pics.
