it's me... now it's really been a long time since I wrote and as usual sorry to those of you that really only know through here how I am doing. I just had a hard time recouping from the trip so there just wasn't a lot of energy to get on the computer and unfortunatly what ends up happening is once I do get on here I never seem to be able to get off so I start to avoid it :). I have been wanting to write so bad to check in with everyone but it's just gets overwhelming, I'm still trying to teach myself how to rest and then do something productive (clean, write, call people etc... and yes I am now officially horrible at doing all of those things.)
Joseph's and Erin's wedding was very nice, it was great spending time with some very special people that I personally don't get that type of time with. Joseph looked very handsome and Erin was quite beautiful and the kids well of course you all know they were the best looking kids EVER...
My mom and my Aunt Mare surprised me with getting the "Sue" tattoo, it was so overwhelming and truely amazing to have them have shown their love and support like that. Then afterwards my very dear friend and "sister" Lori asked me if she could get one.... hello - don't you realized how honored I am that anyone would want to do that??? Of course you can, so Lori and Keirstyn got theirs (Lori did the "Sue" and Keirstyn did the ribbon. So now from what I am hearing there are going to be a couple other's coming. There is a beautiful ribbon one that I am getting as soon as I can (I can't now on the meds, I think it's a bleeding issue) but if there is anyway I can get it I will be. I'll show you all a picture of that and then I'm getting my pictures from the wedding later today so I'll post my mom's, aunts, Keir's and Lori's.
Overall I'm doing ok. I'm very very tired. I feel the medicince starting to effect me again. I did get some really bad blisters on my feet and can feel two starting on my hands and I think my mouth every day is getting more sensitive but not so bad that I can't eat. I have to watch what I eat as I can't tolorate any type of spice at all (which really sucks, as that's been my whole life) but then again, so has eating so I'll take what I can get ha ha.
I go back to U of P on the 10th of July so that's the goal now, just to be able to stay on the medicine until then and then from there to make it until the middle of July as that's when it will be 12 weeks again (doesn't matter that I had the three week break) so they will do all of the scans again. Pretty much that's it for now, I'm just taking it as usual day by day.
We are now in the midst of planning keirstyn's wedding (Oct 30, 2010) the ceremony and hall are booked. Now it's trying to figure out who we can invite and who sad to say I can't. I wish I would have thought about it, we should have had her getting married at my benefit then everyone I know and love would have been there (haha - Keir would have loved that :). I'm excited starting to plan it and really I hope it will give me something to work for, something to focus on, maybe I'll get more energy and will be able to function a little better.
Nate's doing awesome, getting so big. Stewie (the puppy) is finally potty trained and now quite a joy for now, though since coming back from Florida I'm ready to beat him.... he now thinks he should get up at 7 am and we should both go sit outside - ok I did this the first couple of mornings as the weather was so nice, well this dumbass dog thinks we have to do it everyday now... WTF... I miss my sleep and cuddle time with him.
Love & Peace
Sue
