We did it!! Today was Gale's first chemotherapy treatment and she was a real trooper. She smiled and talked with everyone. Other patients were encouraging and supportive, she in turn encouraged them. We left there knowing we are on our way to good health. We even stopped by Baskin Robbins for a treat while waiting for her scrips. We enjoyed every bite of our ice cream and every moment being together.
She made the nurses laugh. When we learned her port-a-cath was inserted very deep she immediately said the surgeon could obviously tell her real job is as a "pole dancer" and he inserted the port deep to maintain her nature beauty... Of course, as her sister I could not help but notice her beautiful brown eyes (although until Steve & she came along there HAD NEVER BEEN A BROWN EYE LAIN). Mother and Daddy would be proud to see and experience her spirit today, she was wonderful.
Tomorrow may not be like today, but then who knows, it just may well be, and I will keep everyone posted. We are in this together. Bill and I are so honored to have her with us until she is feeling better. Next week will include a trip back to the oncologist for an injection to boost her immune system.
Again, we are on our way to good health. You are invited to come along and share out journey...

Aunt Gale, I am so proud of you! I am so thankful to have you as apart of my life and am thinking about you daily. Love you always.
ReplyDeleteWe are having a good morning. Gale rested well. Bill went to the local donut shop and brought home cake donuts. She checked her blood sugar, all is well there. So, she enjoyed a donut and coffee. We are now simply appreciating her feeling well and our Sat. morning.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you are doing well this morning! Mornings are my Favorite time of the day thanks to You, Nanny, and Paw Paw... Hope your day continues as good. Much love to one of the most influential women in my life. Wish I was there, if for nothing else than to share a cup of coffee over the breakfast table.
