January 27, 2010....Okay, here we go again. Terry left on Tuesday for a scout meeting in St. George. (Cedar City area) He had no cell phone service. Can I just say FRUSTRATION! I need the moral support of my husband, even if it is just a few minutes. Terry did find one or two bars on his phone so he could at least say HI. Jenni and Jared know what a whimp I really am.... They came to my house and stayed with me. Yes-even held my hand.
Janell showed up at about 11:00. It is amazing to me how God works in this entire process with trials. Terry usually gives me a blessing before I go to Chemo. I was very anxious on Wednesday and Thursday, so I asked Jared to give me a blessing. We worked it out to go to his work and in the basement parking garage Jared would give me a blessing. Like I said.... It is amazing to me how God works in the entire process with trials and knows who needs to bless and what needs to be said. I am so grateful for the priesthood so I can have a blessing. Immediately, after the blessing I was clam. I was filled with love for my son-in-law and my daughters. I felt at peace and knew that Terry would be alright as well.
Janell, Jenni and I went to the cancer center. My feet have been a little numb the past week. The doctor called it neuropathy. I guess with chemo it can limit the circulation to your feet and hands. Because of the neuropathy , the Dr. decided to cut down on the percentage of chemo they gave me.
Thursday, all day chemo..
Friday, the shot to bring my blood (red and white cells) back.
Saturday, Hanging out and bonding with my daughters, a great manicure and going through every school item in my basement. We got rid of 6 bins worth of old-out-dated school things. I thought they were important.. (Terry came home Saturday night)
Sunday, Slept.
Monday, Slept.
Tuesday, thought I could make it to work..... made it a 1/2 day and slept.
Ya know Chemo feels like you've been in a fight and you didn't even get a good punch in. NOT FAIR!! I just feel sore. (All over).

sista! I am so confused where you live!! I live in St. George and I didn't know you were anywhere near here. I miss you and when I read that you are a wimp- it takes me back to the days- the girls would get a little rough on ya- I can picture it all now. I'm thinking of you!! You may be a wimp- but a TUFF wimp at that!! Take care!
You are nothing of a wimp. You are an incredibly beautiful, brave woman. I am so glad we got to know each other. Everyone needs a Gloria in their lives. Love you.
Gloria, So good to see you last night. Now that I am updated on your blog I will be able to keep in touch. You are not a wimp, that is for sure. Can you spell TOUGH!!!
Hope to see you again soon!
Love, Jane
