Total Slacker!

I can't believe it's been since Wednesday that I've written.  Sheesh!  Actually, there hasn't been a whole lot to report until today.  I have felt really good this week!  Other than my daily nap, there haven't been a whole lot of issues of interest.  My gardening friend, Jenny, came on Friday to help me plant my cold crops (lettuce, peas, onions, carrots, potatoes, etc.) and then Michelle took the little kids for a while so I could get some things done.  THANKS guys!

Yesterday I walked 9 miles with Esther and my sister Mel, I'm feeling confident that I can be ready for the race!  Then, last night we went to a fundraiser dinner for a friend of mine.  She is going through chemo right now too, and is the sweetest, most inspiring person!  The dinner/silent auction/live auction was at the Union Station in Ogden.  I was completely overwhelmed when we walked in and saw hundreds of people eating dinner and milling around.  It reduced me to tears!  Her husband (whom I've never met) came up to me and gave me a big hug and thanked us for coming.  He has seen pictures of me on my blog and knew immediately who I was.  Becky and I are going to the Image Reborn Foundation retreat together the weekend of June 25th in Park City.  She asked if I would keep my head shaved until after the retreat.  Heck ya!  Anything for a friend, Becky!  You guys are in our prayers everyday.  I hope your fundraiser exceeded the expectations!

Tonight, I have neuropathy in my hands.  Three hours ago, nothing.  Now my hands are tingling and itching so much.  Will Advil fix that?  It fixes everything else . . .   I think my nurse, Kathy, will be hearing from me tomorrow.  I was expecting this, but they told me after the third or fourth treatment of Taxol, not a week after the second.  Argh.  If you see me wringing my hands or rubbing my feet together, that is why.  I haven't lost my mind, I promise!
