I've had a few emails asking "WHERE HAVE I BEEN?" since I haven't really been doing much on the board or been in touch with anyone. Well here's your answer:
Things have been so hectic in my life since my brother was in the motorcycle accident.
I spent time with him in the hospital, then after he got home I was at his house almost everyday trying to help him out. I had to take him to the doctors, AA meetings, classes, his probation officers office, stores... plus we went out for lunches and dinners and went to car cruises.
Now that he's in jail....
I've been doing a lot of running around for him. I also worked hard to put together a benefit that the administrative person at the hall cancelled on me with less than 24 hours notice. I've also been handling all of his paperwork. He goes to court this week. It's not looking good. We're pretty sure he'll have to do some time.
He really wants to go to rehab after his sentence is over. He wants to stop drinking and start his life over. I am so happy about that!
Plus I go up to see my Dad several nights a week. We have dinner mostly at his house but sometimes we go out. I like making sure he's okay and to make sure he has company for a few hours.
All of us go to see my brother on Sundays then me, Mom, and Aunt Nancy go do our shopping.
Then there's my life I need to take care of.
Chemo 3 days the first week, Neulasta the 4th day of that week, Procrit the following two Fridays, then start all over again. For a couple weeks my platelets dropped pretty low so I was the doctors even more frequently to keep an eye on my blood. If the platelet count would have dropped any lower I would have had to have a transfusion and/or platelets. The normal range is 140 - 440 and mine were 38.
Then on top of all that, my phone started acting up. The receiver would have a lot of static in it and it was hard to have a conversation. Then soon after, if I picked up the phone I couldn't get a dial tone. The answering machine would work only when it felt like it. The phone wouldn't ring for me to hear. But I knew the line was working because the answering machine would pick up sometimes. This went on for a few weeks. I ended up ordering a battery on line for the receiver which took several weeks to get. Now the phone works perfectly. I really like that phone so I was hoping the battery worked. I didn't want to have to buy a new one.
So, needless to say, I've been quite busy!! But I'd still love to see posts on here because I do check it before I go to bed.
