A New Day: Don't stop 'til you get enough

I have just finished my 9th round of chemo and I feel like I have just finished my 9th round of chemo.

The heart cath was a lot easier than I thought, it went pretty smoothly. I am still waiting to see if I will need to have my heart fixed. The heart cath showed that while my heart in anatomically different, it works quite well. Thank you for all the well wishes concerning this procedure.

I will see the cardio thoracic surgeon this week, so hopefully (cross your fingers) I will get a surgery date this week.

July 10- Dad's pineapple plant has a baby pineapple growing.

July 9- He loves the sun. He runs right out to the grass, flips over and sunbathes.

July 8- Just finished changing the dressing. I look forward to the day that this is removed.

July 7-A mushroom growing in the backyard. I joked with my mom that I was going to pick it and eat it because this is something that I tried to do when I was little.

July 6-My chemo bag. I have so much stuff in this bag that I DO NOT use but I'm scared if I leave home without it I'll want it.

July 5- Everett brought me some macarons from Dallas.

July 4- This is NOT how I planned to spend my holiday (all day in the hospital) but it turned out to be a good day. I'm with my friend Everett who came to visit from Dallas.

July 3- 1st day of my 9th round of chemo.

July 2-I love these things. They make my tummy so happy.

July 1- A few hours before my heart cath. I was very nervous, the doctor was kind and ordered a Valium for me to relax.

June 30- Sen. McCain toured the part of MDA that I happened to be at. He was there for some kind of health conference.

June 29-One of the stacks of clothes mom folded for me and left on my bed. I love this kind of stuff but I can't get used to it, because when I'm better, I'm out.
