I'm so Yucky!!!

I decided I should probably get back on track and update my blog.....the natives are getting restless!!  Ha ha, not really, but people are starting to send flowers and sht!!!  I'm still here, alive and kicking. Yep, I've been in a bit of a slacker lately, but really, I can hardly stand myself.  Probably don't have much to say that would be printable... pissy x 10.  Tuesday the Dr. told me how lucky I am....ya know,.... bite me!!

I had my 3rd chemo.  It was the regular party, lots of good friends and family.  We went to lunch after...just no margaritas this time.  Every now and then I learn my lesson.  This time I decided to do something different.  Dr. Rubin had me come in for vitamin C IVs.  Evidently vitamin C works way better than tequila....Who knew?  I really didn't even get sick, of course then I did way to much and am exhausted, but it was way worth it!  Alex, my nephew, was in town to play baseball in a Junior Showcase at the Peoria Sports Complex.   I made 4 out of his 5 games.... the 1 game we won't talk about, because I was really upset I didn't make it...long, not very nice story! It was great to see Alex, the program said he's 6 ft....can you believe that... When did he grow up?? I didn't think he would understand if I still wanted to call him "punkin head" from the stands! I was so grateful I could go to the games, and he even took time to go to lunch with me everyday.  Saturday, Andi, Athanasia, and Anna all came to the game, we even went to the Greek Festival at "Yiayia's" church for lunch.  So that was my week.... get up, go to the game and lunch, come home, go to bed...repeat.  It was awesome!!
So, like I said, Tuesday, I went back to the Dr.  It was great news.  The "lump" feels fleshy, which is a good thing.  It means the chemo is working!  Yeah!  The plan is...Monday, Nov. 1st, chemo.  Week of the 8th, MRI.  If everything goes as planned I should have my new "girls" by Christmas!   There are lots of little things I would like to talk about at some other time.  At this point I would just like to say that everyone needs to take charge and be an active participant in their own health care.
Today I'm back on antibiotics with a fever.  If everyone can send out a little prayer so I don't miss chemo on Monday, I would really appreciate it....I've seen what you all can do!! Thanks.

Oh.... and just a little FYI about the title....It's for Anna.  When she was little and had a little trouble with her L's , her sisters and I were driving out to my house and Anna announced..."We're sssoooo YUCKY!!!"  Yep, she meant Lucky, but what I wouldn't give for her to ask me to sit in my yap cuz she just yuvs me! But, we're all growing up, Anna's graduated from speech, and yes Dr. Meng.....I am lucky!
