Thank you for all the updates Susan.
My prayers for perfect healing are with you.
Have a nice week.
Love,
Gisele
Giselle and Inda, thank you for your prayers today. It was a lovely day. A sky so blue it almost hurt my eyes to look at it. Five or six squirrels playing in one of the Oak Trees in front of the apartment. And then came the rain. Like silver threads falling from the sky. Images I hope to carry with me always.
Good Morning!
I have Judah (my grandson) with me for the weekend.
That should keep me out of trouble while Billy is away. 
I was a little nervous about Billy being gone this weekend. It is the first time I have been alone since I got out of the hospital. And while I am certainly well enough to take care of myself, I wasn't sure how my spirits would hold up. Turned out I was worried over nothing. I've actually enjoyed the time to myself.

Continuing to send love and prayers...
Thanks for all the prayers. I can feel them holding me up.My weekend with Judah was great! Phyllis came by around noon yesterday and took us to Paducah's Annual Barbecue on the River. We had loads of fun and ate some wonderful barbecue pork sandwiches. Then she kept Judah with her for a few hours while I came home and took a nap. I picked him up again before she went to work and we went to Waffle House and split a waffle. Some friends of mine were there and they kept him giggling until he fell out of his seat. I love the way little ones laugh with their entire self. We seem to lose that ability as the years go by and I'm not so sure that is a good thing.
Billy is supposed to be back around 4 or 5. I've got a pork roast on cooking. Got it turned down really low so I can catch a quick nap. When I get up it should be time to put the potatoes and carrots and celery in. Hope he likes it. I've enjoyed this weekend, but I am ready for him to come home.

Dear Susan, I am happy to see that you are so positive, and enjoying yourself. I am going to France for a while to visit my sick brother. My prayers for healing, and my thoughts will be with you while I am gone.
Love,
Gisele

Gisele
Enjoy your trip and your time with your brother. I'll keep him in my prayers.
About the only thing I have been positive about today is that I'm not eating Brussels Sprouts again until this chemo is over! And maybe never. lol Today's bout with incurable indigestion may have put me off them forever.

Now I like THAT sprout! He looks like he would be more likely to tear up my heart instead of my stomach.
And now for the latest sports update......
Yep folks, we are up to chemo round number three. Carboplaitin and VP16 are doubleteaming those cancer cells, knocking out one after another. It's a veritable ma*sacre, folks, and the winner is MEEEEEE!
Got a CAT Scan coming up on the 10th. Can't eat or drink anything after midnight. Ugh! Gonna have to forego my three am graham crackers and milk. Now, how am I supposed to get back to sleep? Oh well, maybe I can doze while they do the CAT Scan.
Yuck! I smell metallic. The Carboplaitin has platinum in it. Guess that makes me a real million dollar baby, doesn't it?
This was my long day at the hospital. Doctor's appointment at 9:00. At the hospital from 10:30 till 4:00. I'm worn out. It is time for my nap.
zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Dear Susan,
You had a very busy day. Now it is time to take a nap.
I will be away until next Wednesday, just to let you know that I will be thinking of you, and sending you healing prayers. You are definitely the winner.
Love

you will hit all the unwanted cells with this, and that will make you feel like a million.
Thank you all for your prayers and intentions. I can't begin to find the words to say how much they mean to me.
Nancy, my chemo nurse, gave me a wonderful journal yesterday. It was designed by a breast cancer SURVIVOR and is divided into sections with different suggestions for journaling. I have been filling the positive affirmations section with all the prayers that everyone has posted for me. Just reading them each day as they were posted, I didn't really get the full picture. Going through them and writing them down has been so awe inspiring. No wonder my spirits have stayed so good through most of this. I have been carried by angels.
One of the sections in the journal is pushing me out of my comfort zone. I am supposed to ask the people in my life to list my best qualities. Not being used to asking for compliments, this is a little embarrassing for me. But I will have to admit that the answers I have gotten so far, have boosted my self esteem and that is the whole point of the exercise.
I hope you all have a WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING!

Keep up the good work.
My healing prayers are with you.

Dear Susan,
I am sorry that you are not feeling well, but you CAN beat this.
Keep a green tree in your heart and perhaps a singing bird will come.
- Chinese proverb
The bird will come for sure, to sing of recovery and good health

One of the cousins that I have rediscovered because of this cancer sent this to me today. She said she was sending it to all the "keepers" in her life. When I thought of how I had disappeared from all their lives for so long it made it that much more touching. Tomorrow I am going to e-mail it to all the keepers in my address book, but tonight I wanted to share it with all my keepers in here. I really don't know what I would have done without you all the last couple month. You have brought me more comfort than I can find the words to describe. Thank you.

Dear Susan,
Thank you for sharing this very meaningful message.
I am at my cottage now, closing it for another winter season. The autumn colours and all that nature has to offer is beautiful.
I hope that you feel more comfortable today.
My healing prayers for you continue.
Have a nice day.
Love, Inda

Inda, when I get the time, I may do a painting with this quote on it. That was just perfect. Thank you.

Thank you Yoko. Maybe I should bring Billy into this party. Even if it might do the same thing as the one of me. One of these days, I'll figure out how to size these pictures.
