The day after...

OK, I obviously lived through the night. I helped get the boys get ready for school, which felt so blessedly normal I actually look forward to it. My balance and equilibrium are off which led my step-dad to ask if I'd been drinking. I told him no, of course, but if he would kindly lead me to his stash I could help lighten his load.

I have decided when you plan your days and weeks around Dr. appointments, you feel old. When you look in the pill divider and the don't all fit, you feel old. When your pills make up your breakfast, you old. Enough said... the very young dogs want to play with the thing lying on the bed. (me)

  2. Lorri,
    I am laughing about the verbal exchange with you FIL. :) Love your sense of humor, girl! I have been thinking of you and praying for you and wish I could be there to hug your neck and hold your hand. One day at a time, my friend. I'll talk to you soon.
    Love you

  8. Lori,
    I admire your courage. Thanking you for letting us share the journey with you through this blog. As you face the long times in the chemo chair and the terrible days afterward, remember that so many people are praying for you. The upper school has you on their prayer list, both in and out of school.
