Third Treatment (behind me!)

I went in this morning for my third treatment.  It takes about 2 1/2 hours for the stuff to drip in.  Mary is my "designated driver" and then we go to lunch afterward.  It is always a good time!  Thanks Mary!  They put me in the big room today.  There was one other couple in there, really nice people.  After talking to them for a while about our situations, he said "Do you know someone named Gretchen? . . . Gretchen Skelly?"  YES!  They work together as social workers, and she was one of my favorite mission companions.  He said she told him just enough about me to be able to put the pieces together and figure out we both know her.  Crazy huh?

I've been able to stay on top of the nausea pretty well this time.  I've taken a lot of pills, which makes me jittery (I'm having a hard time typing), my eyesight is blurry and my eyes are "tired", I don't feel very good and need to go face going to bed.  I've slept a lot today, the pills see to that.  So, there isn't a lot to report.  Ulmers came today and helped with kids, cleaned, took the kids for a walk to Winegars to buy a few things, and made us dinner.  We love you!  Also, THANKS to Eileen, my bread making friend, that delivered 5 more fresh loaves tonight.

Kim, isn't it such a small, small world? Jeff told me that he was listening to you and his wife talk and as soon as you mentioned your red hair, he had a feeling you could be my friend! When he shared about his wife, I told him about my very courageous friend, with the beautiful red hair!

I love you Schwester!
