Me? Blogging?

I just can’t seem to do this blogging every day or even every week.   But I guess I can keep trying. 

 I had my last chemo on August 24th – YEAH!!!!!  Had a CT scan on Sept 2nd.  All looks good so I don’t have to go back for 6 months.  I am blesssed.

Charlie and I took a quick trip (3 days) to Myrtle Beach last weekend.  It was good just to get away after the summer we’ve had.  I would still love to take a trip up north but not sure if we’ll make that one or not this year.

I was going to try to do better at this blogging thingy but I’ve been having a rough time lately. I had my first chemo treatment on June 15th and have been nausead all week. I had the second one yesterday and I feel better today. Hopefully I’ll get better now for a couple of weeks until I have to have another. I’ll have a total of 8 treatments with a week off between each 2. I should be done with them by the end of August. Please keep my in your prayers.

Strickly by chance my family doctor did a chest x-ray on me on April 2nd and found a spot on my left lung.  He sent me the next day for a CT scan and then to a surgeon the next week.  After a lot of tests, etc I was admitted to the hospital last Friday, May 1st and had most of my left lung removed.   The doctor is sure he got all the cancer (and YES it was non-small cell carcinoma) and none showed up in my lymph nodes.  I was in the hospital for a week – finally got to come home yesterday.  Now I have to heal and in a month I’ll meet with an oncologist.  I’m hoping I won’t have to have chemo but if I do – I’ll deal with it.   Needless to say – as of April 17th I no longer smoke!  Charlie quit over a year ago so I was the last holdout.

For those of you who knew our Fluffy - she went to doggy heaven a year ago at the age of fifteen and a half. 

We now have a 15 lb poodle name CoCo.  He’s all boy!!  Here’s a  picture of him:

My sweet boy

I can’t believe it’s been almost 2 years since I last posted here.  At the end of February 2007 we moved from Georgia to Lincolnton NC.  We live about 6 miles from our grandchildren now and see them quite a lot.  They love our in ground pool.  <grin>

I will try to update this thing more often and posts some pictures soon.

I’m sorry I haven’t written here in a long time.  So much has been going on in my life.  A lot of changes.

First – Traci and Chris moved out into their own apartment the first of October.  That’s great for both us and them.  Peace here again finally!

Then – we decided to sell our house and move back to North Carolina to be nearer the grandkids.  We listed the house the first of November and got a contract on it yesterday.  So now we have 35 days to get out.  We’ve decided to buy a house that is under construction at the moment and it should be ready by the first or second week of February.  Needless to say I’ll be very busy for a while plus at some point I’ll be without internet access for probably at least a month.
