IVP

Steroids didn't work, so I will get an IV transfusion of platelets very soon.
It's quick and then I can get my surgery!
Wait a minute, the Prednisone was supposed to be quick and that was three weeks ago...
Well, here we go again!

A new world

I used a sewing machine last night for the first time in probably seven or eight years.
I am excited.

Happy and sad

I am very pleased to have Obama as our next President and so many are not.
If McCain had won, I would have been disappointed, but happy for him and cautiously optimistic for our country.

I have heard and seen comments by McCain supporters that are unbelievably hateful and just wrong.
Why do they have to say they are "disgusted" and that"we are screwed"?
I wish that they could love this country and all it's people and be happy for us all that there are no losers.
We are the United States of America and we are all winners in a wonderful country that now has a chance at a change for all.
I believe that of the two, Obama has more chance at gaining back respect for us, US Americans, from other countries.
Today is a good day and we are in for more good days, you'll see.
Don't forget it might feel worse before it's better, it would have been that way with either person, thanks to our current President.
Well, enough of that.
Be happy everyone...it is what it is.

Tuesday November 4 2008

Today we Americans have witnessed a historic moment.

We have a new President.

I am proud to be an American.

I am happy.

Er er er er!

There's a rooster in my head that won't let me sleep, so here I sit at the computer.
Thanks for all the loving wishes for my woes with doctors, health and surgery. It will all work out, just not as fast as I'd hoped.
Yesterday we moved furniture around to make me happy and it worked!
I also spent all day organizing crap...I mean craft supplies so I can get serious about it.
Ooh, coffee's done...have a wonderful Monday!

My chair

Massage chair extraordinaire is actually my Mom's, but it lives with me and it's the best.
Mom made the pillow and each and every yo-yo herself.

How low can it go?

Happy Halloween out there.
My platelet count has gone way down again even though I'm on steroids to bring it up for surgery.
Down I tell ya...what's up with that? I stay on the Prednisone through next week, have a blood draw and if it isn't better, then I guess it's on to a transfusion. This is so disheartening.
Did I mention that Prednisone makes one depressed? Well, at this moment after hearing the news from the doctor, I am as low as one can go I think.
My Mom said that her count dropped dramatically as well and she starts another round of chemo this week.

So much Halloween goodness!

Itty Bitty Halloween Book Swap book is here!

I am one lucky lady to know such wonderful groups of people who love to swap!!!!

Grandpa's Hat

Grandpa's hat is small and won't fit my big head.
I grew up on a farm in Central California next door to my grandparents and learned so much from them and have wonderful memories.
Grandpa Isaac passed when he was 86 and that was 31 years ago.
I love that hat.
