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. It was so bad this weekend that by Saturday afternoon I was on the phone with the nurse telling her we were either ... More About: Good , Susan , Ally
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
2007-08-17 13:46:00 Current Mood: Alarmed“Oh I love that dirrrty water…” (Thinking of The Standells’ classic…click below for appropriate background music.) 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 ...

Work
2007-08-17 01:57:00 So far this week I have been able to go to work every day and actually work full days. That feels so good. Today was special. Today is our meal mate day. I get to reward the clients who have been good with a special meal. It was a chance for me ... More About: Work , Susan
Little Things
2007-08-15 13:40:00 One of the advantages of early (4:50 a.m.!) rising is the silence and beauty of the predawn sky. Every morning, when I let Wylie out to do business and get a “lick-lick” (drink of water), I make a point to look up at the heavens. I’m fortunate enough to live on the outskirts ...

A Prayer Request
2007-08-14 22:55:00 I know this is supposed to be a way to keep you updated on how I’m doing, but right now I need to ask a favor. One of the doctors I go to and work with lost his sun in an accidental shooting this weekend. Dr Dahl is one of good people on this earth. He’s ... More About: Prayer , Request , Susan , Raye , Pray
Drip, Drip
2007-08-14 13:29:00 Current Mood: AngryI’m sitting here sweating. In an air-conditioned house. Texas summers…yuk! I guess the coffee isn’t helping any. LOL Our mild June and July spoiled me. I knew this was coming, but I’m still never ready. We have 2 small fans in our bedroom, one on either ... More About: General , Drip
The Good Thing about Cancer
2007-08-14 00:29:00 Yesterday I was venting about the stuff that really made me mad about cancer. I think you should also hear the good part about it, and yes, there is a good part. First, I got to find out how much my friends and co-workers think of me. They have gone out of their way to cover ... More About: Cancer , Good , Thing , Susan , The Good
Back to Work
2007-08-13 13:34:00 Well. Vacation is officially over. I guess I could do my usual whining, etc., but all the kicking and screaming and complaining doesn’t change a thing. One thing about having a friend with cancer: it keeps things real. Man, if you have your health you have it all! I’m not saying I’ll never complain about anything ...

New Chemo, New Routine
2007-08-12 18:26:00 I thought I was going to meet with my doctor on Wednesday and we were going to set our plan of what to do next in stone. I figured I would start the next round of chemo on Monday. WRONG! The study she wanted me in is not going to start until September. We can’t ... More About: Susan , Chem

Last Day in SF
2007-08-08 16:02:00 Current Mood: HappyFeeling much better today, after finally achieving a good night’s sleep. The previous three nights weren’t restful for me for some reason.

Alone in a Crowd
More articles from this author:2007-08-08 03:24:00 Current Mood: ConfusedI’m in Santa Fe and it’s magical, beautiful (sounds like Roger Hodgson’s Logical Song, doesn’t it?). I feel lonely, even sitting beside my husband and best friend on the balcony of our hotel. Why? I never understand why my emotions play tricks on me the way they do. I ...
