Chemo Day
2007-10-12 03:01:00 Today was one of my chemo days. As bad as this sounds, we’re a pretty funny and supportive group in the chemo room. The young lady who sat by me today has breast cancer. It was her second trip to chemo, and she’s still scared to death. Lucky for her she ... More About: General , Chem
Welcome Autumn!
2007-10-10 13:35:00 Current Mood: CoolI stepped outside this morning and was greeted by crisp, cool air. What a relief! I immediately felt myself go into hibernation mode, so when I went back into the house I curled up on the couch. Ahhhh. Now, all I need is for ... More About: General , Autumn
Oktoberfest 2007
2007-10-05 13:48:00 Yep, it’s that time again. We’re headed to Fredericksburg tomorrow morning (our good buddy Jeff in tow, as usual) for our annual celebration of Fall. This has always been a kind of wedding anniversary trip for us each year. This will probably be the last hoorah for us for quite some time. We’re ... More About: General , Oktoberfest , Oktober
A Day in the Life
2007-10-05 02:40:00 I have had a stomach virus for the past four days. I was finally through with it on Sunday after being in the bathroom for four days. When I went to the doctor on Wednesday she wouldn’t give me chemo, saying that since I had a bug for the past few days it was ... More About: Life , Susan , Day In The Life
Leap of Faith
2007-10-04 12:33:00 Two days ago, I took one of of the biggest steps I’ve ever taken in my life. After almost 25 years of doing the same job for the same boss (who has been like a second father to me), I gave notice that I would be leaving in one month. To say it ...

A day of rest!
2007-09-30 16:04:00 We woke up at 7:30 which is LATE for us on any given day. We voted to stay at home today, since we both had a non-stop type of week. Randy had to go out of town twice to help set up for the KEAN Big Bass Bonanza (does that sound redneck or ... More About: General , Rest
Things that really tick me off
2007-09-28 02:51:00 I’ve been debating on whether to blog about this for almost a month. I have no idea how many people actually read what I put up here, but if you do I am about to ask you to do something. It’s not going to require money, just a little bit of your time. Last ...

?scribin?
2007-09-25 14:21:00 I transcribed my first 5 Clinic note reports last night. I’m 2% done with Clinics. LOL I have to say…I love it so far! It’s way more fun than typing from text. So far, most of the differences in my reports and the comparison keys have been style issues, which ... More About: General
More Good News Anyone?
2007-09-22 02:08:00 This was a chemo week. The usual routine is for me to go to the clinic, do blood work, see the doctor and start the three day chemo routine. I was on the examining table and all of a sudden Dr. Blakely goes “WHOA!!!!!!” Now this could be a good thing or a bad thing, ... More About: News , Good News , Good , Susan
Mid-Term Done!
2007-09-19 14:14:00 I took my mid-term exam last night. I had one incorrect answer, with a score of 98%! I was proud but also disappointed in myself. The one I missed I was confused about, and although I did look up one of the words, I thought I was still correct in my answer, ... More About: General , Term , Done
Titan Fever
2007-09-16 18:43:00 If you haven’t visited my website, I will let you in on a secret…………… I am a die hard Tennessee Titan s fan. This love affair with this particular football team began a long time ago, when Dan Pastorini and Billy “White Shoes “Johnson were playing and the Tennessee Titans were known as the Houston Oilers. I dearly ... More About: Fever , Susan
Weekend Update
2007-09-16 02:27:00 Current Mood: HappyHello, it’s me. Yes, I’m still here in case you were wondering. Thanks to Susan, my blog is still alive. Randy had a 3-hour remote today, so I made use of my time by studying, typing, studying, typing. Off and on, I’d say I studied a total ... More About: General , Weekend , Update , Weekend Update
It was a good day
2007-09-14 04:54:00 This was a really good day. I’m writing this at 9:40 central time and I have been pain free all day. It’s weird being pain free. The alarm clock wakes you up and you have no pain. So the first thing I think is “if I move my toes what will happen?” Then “if I move my ... More About: Good , Susan
Yawn
2007-09-12 02:36:00 Current Mood: Sad & AngryI have so much I want to blog about, and absolutely no time or energy. What a shame. I friggin’ hate this time of year….work is sucking BIG time. Not just the workload, but our usual P.O.S. equipment being down almost every single day. If it wasn’t for my studies, ... More About: General
How about a little good news?
2007-09-08 01:03:00 I had scans done on Wednesday (and I’m sorry I’m just now getting this posted on Friday night, but it was a chemo week). We have shrinkage! Dr Blakely wouldn’t let me get real excited, but I told her any shrinkage was good shrinkage, whether it was 1 cm or more, I didn’t care, it was ... More About: News , Good News , Good , Susan , Litt
Undiscovered (?til now) Jewel
2007-09-06 12:48:00 Current Mood: SurprisedMy dear husband told me about this video clip this morning. Amazing! It also got the attention of one Rick Rubin, who is probably now working with this guy even as I type this. Rick said he can’t watch him without crying. It’s easy to see why. Looks ...

An Update
2007-09-04 23:53:00 Some of you will remember my post about my friend and co-worker Dr. Dahl and his family. (For those of you who are reading this for the first time, Dr. Dahl and his family lost Brian.) I got to visit with Dr. Dahl for a long time today. It was a really special time. ...

Lofting
2007-09-03 22:20:00 Current Mood: HappyHard to believe, but it’s finally cooled off enough here that I’m typing this from our upstairs room. It’s a little bit like a loft. The atmosphere is very relaxing. It’s too hot to be up here in the summer because it’s right under the roofline. ... More About: General , Loft
What?s going on?
2007-09-03 02:11:00 OK, time for a little trivial ranting. Where are all the usual chatters the past two weeks? I’m referring to the chatroom I have at my fan site for Roger Hodgson. We have a chat every Sunday, beginning at 1 pm CST. In spite of all my rationalizing, I’m wondering where everyone has ... More About: General , Going , Goin

Going, Going, Gone!
2007-09-01 22:30:00 My hair, that is. Shocking! This is the color my hair USED to be, back in the olden daze. I like it for a change!! You can’t really see how spiked up it is, but it’s way cool. (Singing “I’m ... More About: General , Going , Goin
I Hate this Disease
2007-08-31 00:32:00 And after a great day yesterday, today I was down for the count. I had pain in the pelvic bone all day long. I called the doctor and she told me the pain pills she was giving me wouldn’t do much good for bone pain. I always thought pain was pain. ... More About: Hate , Disease , Susan , Seas
I?m still here, kinda.
2007-08-30 12:35:00 Not much to blog about lately. I’m in a cycle of study, work, study, work, study, sleep. Rinse and repeat. I did see the lunar eclipse earlier this week. It was phenomenal. I wonder what the ancient people thought when they saw it. Did they think the world was ending? That’s what ran through my mind ... More About: General , Kinda
A Really Good Day
2007-08-30 00:38:00 Today was a really good day. It seems the weekend after chemo I am going to be in some pain. It ususally eases off in a couple of days.

Another Glimmer of Hope
2007-08-26 18:27:00 It always seems to be the second round of chemo that really gets me. All my blood counts were down. I got a shot to stimulate the production of red blood cells on Monday and another shot to stimulate the production of white blood cells on Wednesday. If I ever find out ... More About: Hope , Susan
Another week?pffft!
2007-08-25 04:02:00 I have neglected my blogging and cyberspace duties et al. I’m trying to remember what’s truly important in life, which means my husband, family and friends. I’m on the road less traveled at the moment, at least in the form of attempting to reinvent myself at age 44-1/2. What a day, a year, a life ... More About: General , Week
Disaster Area
2007-08-20 13:39:00 Reporter-News photo by Nellie Doneva Although my house (barely) escaped the floodwaters, other areas of Abilene and surrounding towns did not get so lucky. Saturday morning, we awoke to a rushing river behind our house. The drainage culvert for our housing development runs directly behind us. Several years ago, the City made some improvements ...

Glimmer of Hope
2007-08-18 18:07:00 For the past three weeks or so, I’ve been able to feel one of the liver tumors when I run my hand down my ribs. Monday I thought the bump didn’t feel as big. So, of course, I got everyone I know to feel the bump and tell me what they thought. Yesterday the ... More About: Hope , Susan
Dirty Water

As of yesterday evening, we are supposed to be boiling our water before drinking or cooking with it. No, I don’t live in the sticks, although you might think so by some of the attitudes of people ...
