Victory Garden & Family

April 2nd

What an awesome weekend with family! Working on, planting and germinating plants for the Victory Garden! Awesome time just hanging and laughing with each other! So blessed to be surrounded by this kind of love!

All I have to say is life is good and full of love and joy! Will and Alex headed back to work and school yesterday and Mom is heading home today. Beth is in town this week which will be helpful and I will lean on her as needed. Today marks two weeks home from the hospital and Wednesday is three weeks post surgery and I believe we have turned the corner…WE who is we LOL – me and Millie since she is always at my hip!

I have gotten stronger each day and can do most anything on my own…well maybe I am not supposed to but I can. I still need to walk with a buddy just in case – we all know what a klutz I am so having a buddy close will keep me safe! I still get tired very quickly and do need to rest on a very regular basis but I promise I am getting better every day! Next doctors appointments will be April 13th and 17th and hopefully I will be cleared for getting on my bike! We will also learn the chemo & radiation schedule which is the FINAL phase of this ordeal!

So finally let’s talk about being out of work. Wednesday marks three weeks and so far I am not climbing the walls and I completely see the benefit of leave, I don’t need to worry about anything except getting stronger and resting whenever I have too. I do miss my work family a ton but know there is plenty of time to connect when I return! I wish I could tell you I have read a bunch of books or finished a needle point project, but not so much. I have only just recently been able to finish a full magazine article and that was just People Mag! Maybe this week we will take a stab at a book! This also means I have not had the brain power to design and make any jewelry, but that too is on this week’s list!

Many thanks to those who sent seeds and plants for the Victory Garden – it is going to be fabulous! Bunches of hugs to all those who have continued to send cards, treats, and flowers – they make me smile constantly throughout each day! I am blessed beyond measure! More to come later this week, I am sure there will be some kind of funny to report out on.
