~8 weeks since my last chemo and my hair is growing FAST!!!!~ YIPPY SKIPPY~
~I'm OKAY~
Surgery went well however it has taken me longer than I thought to feel better. It will be 2 weeks tomorrow and I am finally able to lift my arms long enough to get onto the computer and type. I had to just turn off the computer because I was too weak to read or answer emails or even post here on the blog. It really sucks not being able to lift and reach!!! I had to have 2 teeth pulled before surgery as they finally CRACKED. On Friday, before my surgery my front tooth finally cracked in half and now I look like a hillbilly and so I will have to have that pulled, hopefully this week. I tell ya, chemo SUCKS!!!
After surgery, I came home and by Thursday, Maddi had strep throat and tonsillitis. NOT FUN.....she was home sick for 6 days in which that time we had a HUGE ICE STORM that left us without power for 28 hours. AND....in the process, left me and Maddi here by ourselves because Bob had to work and we started flooding in the basement and back porch. It was everything I had to lay down towels and keep the water at bay all the while that I was only 7 days post op and I was doing all of this by myself with no power.
Everything is fine now and I am glad the last 2 weeks are OVER!!!
On a POSITIVE NOTE, look at how much my hair has grown since my last chemo treatment.....just 8 weeks ago. Hopefully by summer I will have hair long enough that I can go without wearing a hat or wig.
THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU WHO SENT HATS, I am still wearing them and enjoying them!!! (and yes, I promise I will get pictures of them posted soon)

I do have some VERY EXCITING NEWS.....Last year I was on my way to see my sweet friend Anna in California, aka MyFlowerBed. Well, I had to cancel my flight due to the fact that I couldn't leave Maddi with whom I had lined up to watch her while I was gone. In the meantime, (EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON), that was the week I found the lump and found out I had breast cancer.
So, I have this airline ticket I need to use otherwise I lose it and WE CAN'T HAVE THAT.....so, I have my flight booked and will be in ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA (Lake Elsinore) Jan 10th thru the 16th.
I AM BEYOND EXCITED and I cannot wait!!!
Anna is working out the details but we would like to meet anyone who is close to Temecula some day while I am there for lunch. ANYONE INTERESTED??? It will be a FUN TIME HAD BY ALL!!!
And on that totally fun and positive note....I wish all of you a HAPPY HAPPY NEW WEEK!!! Christmas will be here before we know it....
All my Love, Amy

Hi Amy,
I am so glad you are doing well. I can't believe how long your hair is. You'll be complainig about bad hair days before you know it. LOL!!
Amy- So glad to hear you are getting better- and envious of you leaving this cold to go to California...Take care and God bless you all this Christmas...

Wow Amy your hair is growing fast, you'll be putting it up in a ponytail this summer.
Arrggg, I'm sorry you had to go through all the power outage, flooding, and the poor baby being sick. I'm glad to hear that everyone is on the mend.
I'm jealous that you're going to California, but I'm sure you'll have a great time. Make sure you take your camera, we want pics.
It's busy here at my house, not a single child living here at home, and I've left everything to the last minute...oh well...I'm sure everything will be done in time.
Have a great week, I hope the weather holds out for you, or at least until hubby is home with you.
Amy gal you are looking good & that smile is beautiful! I am so very sorry you had all the trouble at home while you were recovering from surgery. I hope you have the best time in California ever! Looking forward to seeing lots of pictures when you return. Amy you have a wonderful Christmas & New Years's because I don't know anyone who deserves it more. Get that comb & brush ready as your long hair will be back before you know it!
Love & hugs to you sweet girl!
Hi Amy! So glad to hear from you. Wonderful to see that sweet smile & HAIR!!!!! You are looking well. Can't wait for you to FEEL 100% again! Rest up for your fun trip!!

Amy! You look wonderful! I wish you were coming to my part of California. Maybe you two could drive up and see Yosemite and that way you would have to drive right near here. I think Temecula is about five hours from me. Rats!
Amy , how wonderful that you are doing so well. Not counting having to cope with all that water.
How exciting for you to be able to head to California.
Take care.
