Monday Monday

WARNING!! Gross out alert!
Rough night last night. I couldn't sleep....I think I finally dozed off around 3AM. UGH!!  I neglected to mention in my past blogs that, in addition to everything else they took out during surgery, that I have a temporary Colostomy. I HATE dealing with it. And I don't use the word hate lightly. I almost hate it more than the Cancer. I totally admire people that deal with this permanently, I don't think that is something that I could ever adjust to.  Sorry, if that grosses some of you out. I'm just trying to be real here. And last night was spent dealing with colostomy issues.

On a different note. I am nervous about my fourth Chemo appointment tomorrow. I don't want to be postpone again. Nervous about the injection of Neulasta and it's side effects. I try not to dwell on these things but I do have my moments. I plan on trying to rest as much as possible today. I have been having nerve pain these last few days as well, in my stomach and lower back. You would think with an extra week off between treatments that I would feel better....that has not been the case.

But enough of the pity party.  It's my son in laws birthday tomorrow, and we are planning a luau themed party this Saturday for him.  Fun theme, reminds me of Hawaii....waking up and sitting out on the patio with my Kona coffee, gazing at the ocean and Diamond Head. We had such a great view from our room. In fact that view is the background picture on my iPhone...it helps me remember how good it felt to just sit and enjoy the beautiful view. I'm longing for a tropical vacation..lol...that 's not gonna happen any time soon.

Well, happy Monday everyone...hope you enjoy your day. I plan to enjoy mine.
