Subject: Leaving in a week for 2 :)

Hey everyone,

I am extremely excited...I am going on vacation next Saturday for 2 weeks to Sanibel Island. My family owns a time share on the island and we stay for 2 weeks every October. Last year our trip was cut WAY short by Hurrican Wilma, which was also the cause of my worst asthma attack in YEARS. That whole mess is what caused me to end up in the wheelchair for 3 months/walker for 1 month/cane for 3 months. I am FINALLY back on my feet and feeling better then I have in a LONG TIME!! I am praying that the weather stays beautiful and everyone's health stays stable so I can get my much needed vacation!!

Sanibel is my favorite place!! The condo is right on the beach, overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. There is not much to do on the island but rest, go to the beach, and eat out at local restaurants (the only chain on the island is Dairy Queen). There are also some cute little shops (2 of which are the most amazing jewelry stores EVER!!) I am really looking forward to this...I am just praying that the other shoe doesn't drop LOL...Terrible way to think, I know...I just can't help it sometimes. I have to keep reminding myself how different my health is now compared to last year at this time.

I also get my blood work done on Monday to check my cortisol level and CBC...I am really hoping everything comes back ok so I can wean down again when I come home from Sanibel. The only thing I can think of that might be off is my red blood count because I have been SO fatigued lately (of course I am on chemo and recently lowered my prednisone dose, so either one could be the culprit). I am even losing weight, albeit slowly, it's still dropping off!! :)

I will keep all of you in my thoughts/prayers!! I know I could not have gotten through this past year without all of your support as I faced the toughest times of my life!! I can't even express the gratitude that I feel for this group!! Talk to you soon!!

Love,

Ivy
