Good Morning.......I am feeling abit better today. I think my rage has passed for now and I slept pretty much all day yesterday, so today I feel somewhat okay! What ever that is anymore..... 

Update on Ryan..... He came home Tuesday night!!! He didn't have a fever and is responding well to the chemo, so he was released from the hospital.  They taught Sarah how to clean his line they have going into him, he is eating much better now, and is getting the energy to actually try and walk again!  He probably would have been walking by now, but the tumor made him top heavy. So now that it is shrinking he is attempting to do it again!  They want the tumor to shrink at least 50% before they operate and take it out, so he is well on his way.....Everyones prayers are being heard and I thank everyone of you..........

Well, I guess I am definetly doing at least 3 more months of tx and if the Dr. can get 3 more months of meds for me then it well be a total of 6 months. Actually all in all I will have done 13 months of tx. What I hate about all of this is the yo yo effect the on the meds, off the meds, on the meds, and off the meds is having on my body. Mentally and physically I am so screwed up anymore that I don't know what to do. Oh well, today seems to be a happy day so I just wanted to share that with ya all and spread alittle cheer while I am at it!  I hope that each and everyone of you have a wonderful day too...I will pray for that.... Love ya, Carol

  Well, it is the day before Thanksgiving and I have started to make stuff! Started about 6:30 am making my homemade country cornbread stuffing mix. It is quite yummy!!!! And I got the turkey submersed in kosher salt and water. Gives it a good flavor. Let me see, then I have corn pudding and a green bean casserole to make so it will be already to cook tomorrow. Probably going to make some sort of fruit salad too along with the staples of mashed potatoes and gravy and of course hot rolls layered with butter!!!!!! No one around here likes cranberrys so I am just going to get a small can all for myself and I opted out on the sweet potatoes too. Also because I am the only one who ever eats them.  I am cheating this year and I bought a pumpkin and pecan pie. Just have to cook it and maybe no one will know the difference! Probabaly will, especially the pecan pie, because I make a killer pie!!!! Oh well, wanted to give myself a break this year.... Feeling pretty good this morning, probably because I had a good nights sleep last night for a change! I actually had a diet coke not too long before I went to bed so go figure.....

Well, we are expecting about an inch of snow here in Iowa this afternoon! I always like the first snow fall of the season, but then it can go away! I always say that when and if I can afford it and if I can retire ever, it  would be somewhere warm for the winter. I have been sooo stuck in the  midwest all of my life. Time for a change now and then. I guess this is rather a turning point or change in all of our lives isn't it? Having Hepc or any other illness really puts things in perspective.  On that note, I shall go and tend to my cooking.....Have a wonderful day and be good and if you can't be good be careful! What ever......I am babbling on and on and on........See ya, Carol
