Two Days in the Hospital

I had two nights in a row a high fever, so

I did my laundry and dishes, packed my

bags and went off to the hospital Sunday

night.

At first they thought I had pneumonia

but then after all the tests said I had

a staff infection in my breast. So, two

days later on Tuesday evening they

sent me home on oral antibiotics.

It was just in time to start my art class

on Wednesday so I was very happy about

that outcome. I was also very glad to be

back home.

The children are enjoying their first

week back at school. They all seem to

like their teachers from what they

tell me.

Cancer Medicine and Wikki Stix

This week my doctor started me on a new chemotherapy

called Navelbine because she found cancer on

my chest bone. So far the only side reaction I have

had is sweating. I'm still on hercepton for my breast

cancer.

My mom spent a week with me and the children.

We visited the American Textile Museum, Great

Brook State Farm Park, took a walk on the Chelmsford

Bike Path, went to Salisbury State Park and did lots of

art together and saw some great friends!

The last two days I've been trying out landscape

art using Wikki Stix http://www.wikkistix.com/index.php

It's been a lot of fun. I plan to try out many art mediums this

fall.

Next week school starts for the children and we begin our fall

schedule. Pray I can return to the full weekends I have

for the children as it is important to both of us. Being sick

has been an excuse for their dad to limit it to day visits

on Saturdays and Sundays and one child overnight.

This has hurt both the children and myself tremendously

and is very frustrating as we know we can all handle

a full weekend just fine.
