Monday’s here
Breast Cancer August 28th, 2006Today I called Fern at work. Wanted to remind her of a few things that needed to be done. It was great talking to her. Gave my mind something else to think of and another place to go for a while. I gave her this website to pass along to my coworkers. I see Dawn has already posted a comment. Thanks Dawn.
The support and encouragement I (and my famiy) has received brings tears to my eyes. Everyone has been so wonderful!! When I think about the fact that I have at least 6 more months of treatments, I wonder how I am going to make it through (most of you know about my IV phobia). Just when I get a little down, I get a phone call, email, or card and it perks me up. THANKS everyone.
Tonight I am going to venture to Jaylyn’s first volleyball game. I’m prepared as I will be taking a pain pill before I leave for the game. Tomorrow morning will be a busy time. I have an appointment with the chemo nurse to learn about my chemo treatments and right after that I have an appointment with my surgeon. If everything goes well, the drains will be out tomorrow…YEAH…of course I excited to have the drains out but nervous about how exactly that is going to feel. I just think about my IV phobia…can’t be worse than that.
I’ll try to post tomorrow.
Love to you all,
Lori

Hi Lori,
I hope you’re having a good day today. I read your entry about shopping for a homecoming dress for Jaylyn and that sounded like so much fun. That’s one of the things I miss about Audrey not being in high school anymore. I’d love to see Jaylyn’s dress. You’ll have to post a picture or give me a call to describe it. I really miss not having you in the office so we can discuss all these important events!! I hope you’re able to enjoy Jaylyn’s game tonight and again, if you want to give me a call tomorrow and tell me how it went I’d love to talk to you. Good luck at your appointment tomorrow and I’ll be thinking about you and you’re always in my prayers. Take care! Deb

Lori, It is so good to hear from you and thanks for letting us share on your website! I know you enjoyed shopping with Jaylyn—you always do.
I still love shopping for Christy and of course there is always Sydney!
I am happy to hear you are going to the Volleyball game AND that you are taking a pain pill before you go….cheer loudly for all of us here.
I will be anxious to hear what your chemo nurses have to say. They should be able to give you some help with that phobia of yours……..I personally think you’ll be fine. You are one tough little lady!
I was going to call you this morning and then time got away from me.
You are in my thoughts and prayers………always.
Hope you enjoy the evening and aren’t too worn out.
Take care!!!

Hey Lori,
I am glad to hear about how well things are going for you. It is great that you have this website where we can all check on your progress, you can update us on things that are happening with your family and you and we can send you our love and good wishes. Of course I miss seeing you here every morning and getting the scoop on how Jaylyn’s games went and all but you will be back before you know it and we can do that once again.
Take care and you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Becky
