I just did what?

So this happened today! It is finally sinking in, I JUST BOUGHT A HOUSE!!! We love it so much. Thanks to my amazing mother, who packed much of my house, and all those who have helped or will be helping me in the next week or two. I am still lacking energy and am grateful for all my willing peeps! Feeling truly blessed tonight, and a little crazy! But in a good way!

Miracles Among The Chaos

Every day at radiation a miracle occurs. I am able to lay completely still, flat on my back for 15 minutes while a beam of radiation shoots into a very specific spot on my left breast. I consider it a miracle because I have had an infection in my lungs and have been coughing horribly for two weeks now. Every day I pray to be able to hold still and not cough, and every day I do exactly that. I still hate radiation, but I appreciate the daily miracle! Life is sweet!

Happy? Anniversary

Today is my 16th wedding anniversary to my sweetheart Richard Loomis. Lot's of mixed emotions this week as I remember my life with him and my love for him. I love this song. Most of all I love my husband and I will keep counting the years and celebrating our marriage. I miss him so much and oh how I wish he could be here with me to celebrate.

Pure Joy!

The view from here is pretty sweet!

Radiation vs Chemo

Radiation happened today. It's my worst nightmare! I would rather do more chemo than have to go through six weeks of daily radiation. Fifteen moments of being exposed, of not moving, of being afraid to even breathe. I got tattoos today. Who chooses to do that? Ouch! I think I will turn all of them into semicolons after they have served their purpose. A sign of survival and a reminder that my story is still going strong!

Radiation

The start date of my radiation has been postponed once again(for the third time). Seems that my tumor was located in a tricky spot and will require some more advanced radiation techniques which my insurance company doesn't want to authorize. I am going to side with my radiologist here. Hoping it gets resolved as I don't want to miss tomorrow's appointment! Meanwhile I am frustrated by my lack of energy. I just want to be normal again and out of pain! Good news? Ice water tastes wonderful again! Yay!

Our Family Grows

I just have to say, I am so blessed! My family is so very precious to me. I was privileged this evening to get to snuggle my granddaughter and kiss her cute little feet, watch my other children be amazing aunt and uncles and see my daughter and son in law be amazing parents! Life is so sweet!
