Day 15 - Labor Day

Good Morning All....I hope everyone is off today enjoying the Holiday. I had a great weekend. I felt great most of the weekend and had a nice relaxing day yesterday after all of my festivities. Mom came down on Friday and we shopped most of the morning. We didn't get a chance to do pictures, but hope to next time. Terrie and Pa Bob made it in before Mom went back so we met them for lunch and finally got to introduce mom to pa bob. Had a great lunch then Mom handed me off to Terrie (think Momma was too chicken to take me home and see Brian's reaction once he learned how much I spent) Terrie, Pa Bob and I went home and had great night Friday full of conversation and laughs.. Pa Bob is never at a loss for words and I love it!!! Got up on Saturday morning and headed out to the beach where we walked and took some pics then ate lunch... headed back to the house and said our goodbyes :( then Terrie and Pa Bob headed to Savannah and we headed to Brylee's 1st birthday party. Had a great time, but was very tired by the time we got home. Brian got in the pool and I just relaxed as I was beat. Slept great Saturday night and even slept in until 8:30am on Sunday. We all enjoyed a very quiet and peaceful Sunday as that was what Brian wanted for his birthday. I slept good last night and up bright and early this morning. I have noticed that I keep feeling hair on my shoulders and arms (jumping every time because I think it is a bug crawling on me) so I am thinking that the hair may be leaving me slowly. I guess that is much better than big patches all at once, but I am ready for that too I think.. One never knows I guess until it happens. All in all I have felt very good and seem to have bounced back great from the first treatment. This I have no doubt is due to all of the support and prayers I have been receiving. God has blessed me so much. Each day is a blessing good or bad and I thank God twice for the good ones.. I made a decision last week to try and work through my next 5 treatments. I will start back this Thursday September 9th. Please pray for me as I really think this will help me rather than hurt me. I love my job and working has always made me feel so good.. it's a big part of who I am and I am very anxious to get that part of me back. We shall see how it goes. I have blood work tomorrow then it's off to see the Doc on Wednesday and hopefully he will release me to go back to work on Thursday. I will work Thursday and Friday, relax Sat & Sun and then back to work Monday and Tuesday. My next Chemo treatment is that Wednesday September 15th at 8:45am. If all goes well..I should be able to work Thursday the day after chemo..get off work, head to doc office for my shot then work on Friday. I pray that the aches and pains will hold off until Saturday and Sunday and then I can go back to work on that Monday feeling better I pray. It sounds like a lot to ask for, but I know he is almighty and through him all things are possible so I am letting him lead the way. One of my favorite quotes is "Don't tell your God how big your storm is..tell your storm how BIG your GOD is" so that is what I intend to do. Look out storm he is a BIGGGGGG GOD!!!!!!!! Well I think everyone is caught up for now. I will try to update you when I can. Once work starts it may be on the weekends only...depends on how tired I get. Thank you all so much for your continued prayers and support!!! Like I said before they really are working miracles!!!! I love you all!!!
