A class card would be great for those of you that are teachers-<br />
<br />
Check out this link <a href="http://gingershouse.blogspot.com/2012/02/cards-for-sebastian.html#comment-form">http://gingershouse.blogspot.com/2012/02/cards-for-sebastian.html#comment-form</a><br />
and read about him. He is one special little boy.<br />
<br />
His surgery has been postponed for now but the cards are still important so go ahead and mail them to his teacher, her address is listed too.<br />

It was cloudy. It rained too, but not until all <span style="color: blue;"><strong>513 plungers</strong></span><span style="color: black;"> did their thing. But <span style="color: cyan;">COLD</span>? not really, the water (I was told) was 51 degrees. I, along with who knows how many others were officially TOO CHICKEN TO PLUNGE! We did our part by supporting them and collecting money for this fabulous cause! We even got T-shirts that say we were chicken! There were costumed groups and awards too. My daughter and one of her besties got to help hand out awards.</span><br />

<br />
You ask- Are they crazy? yes, some of them, sure, but most of us just know all the good that comes from this wonderful, annual event. <br />
<br />
We have only held it for three years and each year all totals from the previous year were broken. <br />
Was it a success? I'll say, today $91,000.00 was raised! <br />
<br />
Yea, I'd say this was a great day!<br />

Oh well, now I guess I just have to let you know that life is good for me these days mostly anyway.<br />
I have a job that I love, most of the time anyway,I have a family that I wouldn't trade for the world or even a beach somewhere! lol I work with teh greatest bunch of coworkers that a person could ever home for, and I really wish I knew where my past blogs went, I DO! The past was one about my sisters for those of you who are kind of keeping up- which isn't very hard to do apparently since this last blog was MONTHS ago-.<br />

I guess so, tho' I don't know that <em>that </em>word fits, for me anyway. I did indeed fight the beast and I won, simple as that! I had others before me battle it too, some won and some didn't. My sister Kim, the <u>Middle Sister</u> was one who fought with her heart and soul for 2 1/2 years but the beast claimed that battle. My cousin Maureen also fought and lost too, just last year. My friend Dawn also fought but she is one that won her battle as well and is now a 2 1/2 year survivor! Way to go girl!<br />
<br />
I learned life lessons from these three women that helped me in my fight with cancer. I am told that I have amazed some people. Others have said that I was too tough to not beat it while others still tell me how inspired they feel because of the attitude and strength I showed. When I was first diagnosed with cancer it was very hard for me to believe that God would do this to my mom again; then one day I discovered that it was merely a wake up call to me, no actually to <em>both </em>my husband and me. We both have a need to have control of things, not so much each other's lives, but just life in general. Having a daughter with Down syndrome, I<em> really am</em> in control of most of the decisions in her life and I guess this sort of bleeds into all facets of my life. Anyway, this wake up call was a reminder to me of WHO is really in charge of everything; and so, God didn't do this to my mom, but just wanted to make sure I realized that I don't walk alone or lead, and that He is there with me every step of the way. <br />
<br />
I guess I have inspired others but the most important one that I had hoped to inspire is my oldest sister, Jeni, and she showed me that I did just that the other day. You see, she was angry that I got cancer instead of her, she had been waiting for it. I let her know that it had to be this way though because I had to show her how to get through it, and now the fear of the beast isn't as great as it once was.<br />

I decided that I needed to do something productive so I made 7 cards, but now doubt that I can give them away... I have always loved Alice, what would you expect? Anyway, hope you like them and might even feel a little inspiration? :-0<br />

As far as my life and health are concerned, Life is Good, Simple as That! That is on my new T-shirt. Just seemed to fit- I am finished at the doc for another 5 weeks and I don't mind saying, I will not miss that weekly 2+ hour drive- one way! Now I just wait and stretch.<br />
<br />
Be well my friends and stay safe, it's rough out there sometimes- love you<br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I got a matchbox like this from my dear sister and decided to make a few as gifts for a couple of friends. The ATC is the first of a series that will sort of document my cancer journey. Speaking of which; I had surgery last Monday to remove the high risk of breast cancer returning. Yep, I did, also had some reconstruction surgery done at the same time. I am still sore, but feeling better daily. I go for a checkup on Tuesday to make sure that the proper healing is happening. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">My niece and her 2 daughters were here for a visit, a fabulous one I might add- and what was even better was that my niece and I got to get away and scrap at my new fav store in Dover, TN for a day! We were in heaven! I did 2 12x12 pages & 10 6x6 pages to get a gift started for a friend. I wish we could get together and play more often! We had a wonderful visit, even got to take the boat out for a spin around KY lake!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

I have a consult appt. set for Wednesday but it will still be a couple of weeks after that before I start that trek-. I still find it hard to believe that I have finished with the chemo and that I managed to feel okay through most of it. The fatigue was bad but when the bronchitis set in, well, that cough was the worse that I endured through it. The cough has returned but hopefully for the last time now. Back to breathing treatments and another round of azithromycin should do it for me! <br />
<br />
We have been on Spring break this past week and have really enjoyed ourselves. After spending a couple of days with Chris (while he works out of town) Allison and I spent the days together just doing stuff around the house. It really felt good to be home and do what we wanted when we wanted-<br />
<br />
I even managed to get some cleaning done! I am hoping that tomorrow after Special Olympic practice that we can get home and work in our garden to get the soil ready for planting! Can't wait to taste that first tomato of the summer!</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12454980666338371891noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5562097812856259842.post-50219681231589615852011-03-28T05:57:00.000-05:002011-03-28T05:57:31.520-05:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span class="postbody"> <br />

Today my count was at 13,000! WooHoo! I received my chemo today and only have 2 more to go; then it's on to radiation for 6-8 weeks. I do get a brief respite tho', for a couple of weeks before the radiation starts. I am still fighting like a girl and feel as tho' I am ahead of the game, let's hope so!<br />
Today I am adding a bit to my blog for a friend. She had a new baby in January and seems to be feeling a bit blue these days. you may remember, not doing all she should for two children- we all know better if we are mamas. Her story reminded me tho' of my sister and her little T-bone who would get rather cranky every afternoon before his daddy got home. Cry for hours, or so it seemed. Whether it just stopped when he did arrive or he had to hold him to quiet him, it helped peace be restored to the household. Well, it seems that my friend has this same situation going on., and as I read her story, I remembered my wonderful mother cross-stitching a beautiful poem for my dear sis. Maybe just to ease her mind maybe just out of the love she so willing gave and still does to her girls, no actually to everyone she meets. Ok, I am rambling a bit- anyway here is the poem; I hope it helps others in this "new mom " stage of their lives.<br />
<br />
<br />
This one is as old as the hills (and me)! It is the last refrain from "Song for a 5th Child" by Ruth Hamilton. <br />
<blockquote>"Mother, oh Mother, come shake out your cloth, Empty the dustpan, poison the moth, <br />
Hang out the washing and butter the bread, <br />
Sew on a button and make up a bed. <br />
Where is the mother whose house is so shocking? <br />
She's up in the nursery, blissfully rocking. <br />
Oh, I've grown shiftless as Little Boy Blue <br />
(Lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo). <br />
Dishes are waiting and bills are past due <br />
(Pat-a-cake, darling, and peek, peekaboo). <br />
The shopping's not done and there's nothing for stew <br />
And out in the yard there's a hullabaloo <br />
But I'm playing Kanga and this is my Roo. <br />
Look! Aren't her eyes the most wonderful hue? <br />
(Lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo). </blockquote><br />
<blockquote>The cleaning and scrubbing will wait till tomorrow, <br />
For children grow up, as I've learned to my sorrow. <br />
So quiet down, cobwebs. Dust go to sleep. <br />
I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep." </blockquote> <br />
So, my dear friends with new babies, love them and rock them and let those dust-bunnies sleep and tell those cobwebs to quiet down as well, you to your loved ones have songs to sing and stories to tell. sweet dreams everyone, love ya, Kathy</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12454980666338371891noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5562097812856259842.post-24029314625869474222011-02-22T09:24:00.000-06:002011-02-22T09:24:10.029-06:00Well, no chemo today, again not for snow this time tho'<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span class="messageBody">- my blood count was way low. So now I get to have a shot each day for 3 days that will make my bones hurt, but is supposed to boost those cells up, THEN I can go back to work on Thursday and all the other things I enjoy, but for now I am on house arrest for the next two days :(</span><br />
<br />
<span class="messageBody">No reason I can't pay some much needed to a few things around here tho! I believe that I will work on my journal that I am creating for this cancer- it's also a book safe to keep the cards and trinkets that I have received from family & friends. I will post a few pics after I get some more work done on it. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="messageBody">Taxes need attention too- guess there is no better time than now to get everything collected and get that fun job taken care of and maybe, just maybe I can find time to scrap a page or two. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="messageBody">Sooo, bottom line is that outside of this rotten bronchitus that I haven't been able to shake thusfar, I do feel good and am glad to say that I am still kickin' cancer's ass! </span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12454980666338371891noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5562097812856259842.post-68024467338458917842011-02-14T17:55:00.000-06:002011-02-14T17:55:28.813-06:003rd time was a charm!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Well, I finally got my chemo last Friday after attempting Monday & Wednesday with no help from the weather for success at either day. Monday I didn't even make it home from work- I ended up staying at a friend's house in town! I am soooooo sick of snow! I even drove up to Paducah on Wednesday and it came so fast and heavy that I didn't dare stay; as it turned out, I made the right decision! I made it almost home before ever even sliding or slipping but I did manage to get the truck stuck and had to walk the last road home. ugh! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I began the next regimen of my chemo last Friday, I am now receiving Taxotere. I am told that the fatigue could be worse so not to be surprised at it. So far so good! I went back to school today- thanks to a week of snow days that will be made up! and still feel fairly human, but for this rotten congestion and cough that I have been fighting for a week now. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">This first picture was taken when I left home Wednesday morning, the next about 3 hours later while I was driving home- keep in mind now that we don't get this kind of snow around here. Did I mention how I really do not like this nasty white stuff!</span><br />

I missed chemo on Monday- thank yo snow, again. I rescheduled for today, got up there and by the time I got to the cancer center the SNOW was coming down so fast & the roads were already covered and getting slick. I decided it was definitely i my best interest to forgo the treatment, reschedule AGAIN for Friday this time an see where we get this time. <br />
As if that wasn't enough, Monday, by the time our little friends got on buses or into their cars, the road was already enough that I didn't want to try driving home so I stayed at a friends house. Tonight Chris will be staying in Clarksville for the same reason. He had an all day training down there and decided he was better off to stay there- <br />
<br />
And people wonder why I HATE SNOW! I have yet to have a good experience with the blasted white stuff! oh yea, side note, it only took me 2+ hours to get home from Paducah- yup, I'm lovin' it!<br />
<br />
TTFN, hope your day and week is going nicer than mine has- love ya, Kathy</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12454980666338371891noreply@blogger.com0
