Out of the hospital

[vickie h]

Hi dear sisters and Brothers,

I am out of the hospital (spent 6 days there in quarantine) after running a fever and discovering I had no neutriphils. I have been out of town every week and only coming home for chemo (my grandson, Travis, came in second in the California Cup and they are now going to Nationals in Florida in August for soccer) and posting very little as I have had no time. I went for my last chemo and they took me straight to the hospital, so I have missed all that is going on. My cat decided to jump up on the phone and erase all my phone messages while we were gone and now my computer is playing games with me (on and off the fritz). I am lying in bed thinking of you and praying all will be well. I am feeling better, except for some severe back pain, which has prompted my Onc to schedule a bone scan on Monday.

So...here i am, bottles adorning my bed stand with mixtures of pain relievers, tylenol, vicodin, lorazepam, assorted nausea pills (all making my
liver scream) and other sundry items. I will be returning calls (if I can figure out who called) in a few days and answering posts that need attention.

My husband was laid off last week to make things even more interesting. I feel that when one door shuts another opens so we will be entering through that door and embark on another path soon.

Just wanted to tell you all that I missed you and love you and will be back up to par by next week. You are the sunshine that warms this board...

Love, Vickie
