You guys, check this pic out. We had a gorgeous day for the walk! Here is the team Patty’s People that you ‘ve been hearing about.  So many of us were like sausages with our tie dyed tees OUTSIDE our jackets and sweatshirts! It was fairly chilly at the start but the love and walking warmed us…
10/7 Cycle 3 Day 1 “HYAAAAAA!”
Back up on the trail this morning. The horse and my family in sinc. My boots are wearing well.   I spent most of my time during the infusion knitting socks and visiting with B, A and our sweet friend S. When I knit, I can visit at the same time.  When I draw I have a hard time…
Giddyup Cowgirl (Day 1 Cycle 2).
We did it! There’s nothing like friends who would shave your head if you asked them to on short notice.  This includes those friends who would try like hell to change their impossible schedule…and alas, have to decline. Today was the day. The infusion went without a hitch. K drove, E came, S visited with…
9/16 Nourish
By supplementing the chemo with herbs and accupuncture, I feel like I’m putting really good compost into a barron soil. I am aware that the balance within my system is seriously being disrupted with chemo. I drew “nourish” today, after drinking my astragalus root tea which tastes nutty and sweet. Perhaps I’ll have to do…
9/15
I have been avoiding doing an entry because I didn’t want “A’s sacrifice” to get bumped out of first position. It’s such a profound thing to me. She’d say “Mom, it’s ok, just keep going.” or something like that.   So I’m basically describing my life in terms of the 14 day cycle (how chemo-esque), I’m on…
Cycle 1 Day 4 Saturday, 9/12
Going to A’s soccer game and talking with parents and friends. Taking a walk in the woods. Napping with the katz.  Baking a  blueberry pie. Picking scrumptious sungold and sweet 100 tomatoes from our garden and making pesto out of fresh basil. Going to the dump with E and giving in to his request to pick up a hot dog…
Cycle 1, Day 2
OK so this girl wasn’t seeing any technicolored hearts or anything last night. No matter what I invisioned the port-o-love sending into my system, the end of Day 1 had me relating to the mangy fox. Actually she probably felt better than I did.  I went home and sat on the deck, writing yesterday’s blog, feeling pretty good. About 2…
Chemo Day One
So, P and I have differnt metaphors for this. I’m fighting, she’s riding the range rounding up li’l wayward doggies. I’m on search and destroy mission. So my take on chemo is a little bit different too. Mainlining big bags of toxic stuff, that incidently causes you to empty your guts out, and loose your…
9/9/09 Chemo day one
“Hey cowgirl, are you ready to round this thing up?”  B’s warm body enshrouded mine as I was blinking the sleep out of my eyes. The kat-man-budda (our large siamese boy) crawled in with me for an early morning touch.  I got out of bed and put on my boots. I’m quite a sight with my new…
Lifted
As we called and emailed loved ones, friends and colleagues, a web of light began like a tapestry around us. The love mill spreads fast. I came to appreciate email because although it seems at first impersonal, it tended to give the reader some time to absorb such unexpected information. Like this blog, we are…
