HEY ALL! I missed you, thanks so much for stopping by. As many of you know i made another trip to the ememergency room at the end of April.... UGGHH! I had surgery, this time cut open, to remove 3 inches of my small intestine and remove some various scar tissue and adhesions that were deciding to dwell in my abdomen. You know i love my graphic photos........sorry and thanks for playing along... haha.
Happy to report the staples are gone and i'm doing well (and yes, lost the 8 pounds plus a little more - i was REAL hungry for most of those 11 days.. not an easy feat!) My pathology report once again came back all negative for cancer. Thank God for that one! I'm supposed to get back on track with my maintenence chemo, which i'm now behind in. I had trouble with the first dose, so i'm going to try breaking it down to 3 times a month instead of once a month and see if that helps. It's messing with my brain, and i really need every brain cell i can manage. Also, i'm in the process of trying to move my chemo closer to home, so i'm still working on that. I'll post that info when i know i'm going again.
Second 2 pictures are from Mother's Day. My older son, Drew, didn't get home - he'll be home this weekend, but Alex came home and i think... got his haircut to look just like me (no, probably not). But, i thought I definitely have to post this picture and you can decide who has more hair! (except he has no grey) Bartt wins the most hair contest... but also the most grey........... - i wonder who made him so grey...... probably me and all the fun i've been this past year......haha!
You're not going to be able to see, but i'm wearing a necklace by Peggy of thebeadaerie.etsy.com and a bracelet from amy from adornbyamysingley.etsy.com. They are both ovarian cancer colors with ribbon charms and just so cute!

Hey again Laura- yes, get that moved closer to home if you can- commuting for chemo is just too unfair! You look great- thanks for the belly shot- ack! Your poor belly- we are still doing a smackdown though. Hope you are enjoying a little bit of spring out there- YOU ARE MY HERO!!
ReplyDeleteLooking good Miss Laura! Yeah, graphics and all. I'm so glad the staples and the extra pounds are gone, and the hair is coming back, and you're feeling and looking so great! Thanks so much for this happy post -- you've put a big smile on my face! Again. xoxo
ReplyDeleteHi Laura, such a great picture with you and your son Alex. You totally look alike. Love your new "haircut'. Very cool:-) You look stunning and a few scars are part of life I think. I'm happy your are doing so well and are cancer free. Good luck for the last step, the maintenence chemo. Hope very soon you can live a kind of 'normal' life again:-) Love you, Iris

wow Laura, you've been through so much.
ReplyDeleteI have to say, despite having a new map on your tum, and an enforced stay in hospital, plus all that worry, that you look fantastic, and it's great to see you have hair back again (I can't see the grey, either!).
Fantastic that it was a cancer neg result, too! that in itself must be such a relief.
Keep up your important job of getting better,
Rachel x
WOW!! Those are some battle scars that are well earned and absolutely beautiful! They DO look like a constellation of the most wondrous Stars of Hope and Love and Strength!! Your wondrous Fiesty sense of humor is all intact and I am sending big blessings for your chemo treatments!
