Oh happy day to me!!!
What a great day it was! The boys brought me breakfast in bed as I was getting up although Andrew was somehwhat upset because I wouldn't get back in bed
. My husband gave me a diamond circle necklace and a beautiful card that made me cry. The opening verse said "To the woman I would marry all over again"! Well, you know, having gone through what we have in the past year and me not looking my best...well, sob, he just couldn't have said anything nicer. Plus lots of gifts and well wishes from family and friends. The day couldn't have been any better. (Kim, I love my platter and candles and the "spit tune" will get lots of use Kelsey).
These pictures are of my good friends and scrapbooking and room sharing buddies, Beth, Leanne and Vicki Lynn. The scrapbooking retreat at the Old Orchard Inn was great. It just keeps getting better and better. I got lots of pages done and had some R&R with the girls.
They are kissing my semi-bald head in the top photo in the hopes that the hair will grow in faster!?! They did keep mentioning how it seemed to be longer every time they looked at me! We did alot of laughing and crying (Beth) that weekend. It was very therapuetic. These are also the friends, who along with some family members, made us a freezer full of meals and treats during my chemo treatments. I just love you guys!! Thanks for a great time.
A friend at the retreat told me that her good friend was just diagnosed with Inflammatory Breast Cancer. This is rare and very, very nasty. She is 33 years old with a 3 month old baby. She and her doctor thought it was mastitis from breastfeeding but when it wouldn't clear up she was sent to a specialist. Whenever we think our load is too heavy, we are reminded that there is always someone whose load is heavier. She has a long road ahead of her and needless to say, she and her family need our prayers.
So far the radiation treatments are going well. They are much like a x-ray..no pain and you are in and out within 10-15 minutes. My radiation oncologist, Dr. Maueen Nolan, is the total opposite of my Medical Oncologist...she is funny and sweet and I can talk to her about anything. Everyone of the radiation techs have been really nice so it tends to make it a more enjoyable experience. Sara and I are heading into the city tomorrow. I have a radiation appointment at 3:00 and then we are going to stay overnight at Mom and Dad's. After my appointment Friday morning we will head back home for the weekend.

I got diamonds for my birthday too! Pretty little earing studs. There is no blessing much greater than a loving, supportive husband is there?!
Your friend's friend with the little baby is in my heart and thoughts already. I will pray for her too.
Love Esther

Isn't That true Kelly. When we think things are the worst ,you look around and find someone worse off. You sound like you had the best birthday ever. That card probably meant more than the diamonds. Love Jenny

Hi Kelly and the best belated birthday wishes I can offer are being sent to you!
Sounds like your past couple of weeks have been very busy and very fun! I'm happy to see you are back and in as great of spirits as ever. I hope your radiation treatments continue to be a breeze (in comparison to chemo!) and that you continue to feel stronger and healthier with each and every passing day.
Hugs to you,
Penny

Hey Kelly, I've checked out your blog many a times, but have never left a message. Just wanted to let you know that you're in my thoughts and prayers. Though I hardly really know you, I knew you were special the first time I met you. What goes around comes around and the blessing of such a wonderful family and supportive friends are well deserved.
Leanne told me that I missed a great scrapbooking weekend. I certainly won't miss the next.
Love Tammy
ps. We are trying to catch a mole that has been destroying our front yard. Should I freeze it and keep it for you when we catch it??
