Did someone say Oatmeal? ButterandraisinsandbrownsugarYUMMMMM.

It's still awfully busy here, I apologise for the hit-n-miss quality of my posting since making the trip back here, seems haven't unpacked and put the socks away yet. Literally look at the day and think GOSH, who set this up, requires a few more hours, must send a memo. SO much more balanced since logging in here again- you have no idea. Realize there's meant to be a healing limit- well, sue me, you folks resemble a hospital ship to me.

Go easy, ok? Am also speaking to PH, yes ( good call Ms. Spock et all ) - don't think we don't see you skulking behind the door, talking to YOU, too, Missy. Friends. This is a very nice love story, not going to bother with the whole disclaimer. Friends, Sistahs. Gives me tears, for real. I'm really, really grateful to be part of your lives, please do take care of yourselves ok?

Have to shush, booing. Got to me, but it's all good. ((((((((((((:happy:))))))))))))))))

I came home yesterday and it is wonderful to be home. I was definitely mauled by my two dogs that missed me.

It is also good to be able to actually read a few paragraphs and type a few sentences. There was a period of time there that even having a two sentence conversation would leave me winded and exhausted. I believe for the first time I truly understand the meaning of "chemo" brain, and how much the drugs can impair basic cognitive function. Combine that with PTSD and it probably makes it more interesting.

It is funny to have no "deep" thoughts or insights about anything at this point. I am most basic in my needs at this point and my biggest challenge is to find the energy to shuffle to whatever room I need to go to in order to get what I need.

To say this procedure knocked me on my ass would be the understatement of the year. I only hope the result that was the goal has been realized, but only time will tell.

I am glad that your dogs have you back and that you are listening to your body in terms of finding the energy to shuffle to each room to get what you need.

Rest and Sleep Well Deb!

PH is VERY HAPPY! Deb is home and as usual blew the medical staffs minds with how her body rebounded.

Love You Deb!

 

[Froggie]

If I would have been there, I might have mauled you too alongside your dogs ... LOL

Into the light, glad to hear you are listening to your body. It's like a catch 22 isn't it? You have to rest, yet you have to start doing some activities so that you don't become more immobile. Finding the balance is often the hard part. I know, since my surgery, I've been having days where I sleep a lot. With encouragement from Ms Spock I'm trying not to feel guilty about it. I wish you better insight then me.

It is amazing everything you have been through. I sincerely hope this works..but, so far, it is looking very good.

Dog's are good for the soul, aren't they?

 

[Nighthawk]

Really happy that you are home. Take good care and rest. Allow your body to recoup. I hope there are helping hands around giving you the space to rest.

((((((((((((((Deb))))))))))))

Please keep Deb in your thoughts and prayers and ect... She is having trouble with her Blood Pressure going too low. Scares me. I wish they would figure out why. Feel so helpless to do anything.

 

[Britt.f7]

Her body has been through so much and it is reacting. Hopefully they will get it under control soon. I know all too well how disconcerting that can be. More so for her. She will definitely be in my prayers.

My Dad has that problem too, it's scary. The Doctor's have him drink more fluids and use salt on his food to help.
