Been Awhile Since Last Posting

Sorry I haven’t posted any thing for awhile, but I haven’t been feeling the best. It has been a little worst than any of the previous treatments. Nausea has stayed with me and the numbness and tingling in my hands has increased. The Oncologist changed the chemo treatment medicine amounts around little to try and help, but it didn’t. So my hands hurt 24/7, hence a decreased interest in typing and it taking days to type this out. They don’t hurt enough that I can’t do anything I want, but minor things like taking the darn paper off a straw is uncomfortable. Then it finally dawned on me why the oncologist keeps asking if I can button my shirt, he is seeing about my hands. So I sit there, me and the one year old with our sippy straws while the five year old opens our straws. I have also felt a little off, my BP and sugar counts are fine, but I still feel weird. So much so that I have been letting Debi drive me around in the car. Which could be a contributing factor to nausea, I just sit in the car with my eyes closed. But I have been doing that for 40 years, especially thinking back when I taught her to drive when she was 16.
Tally, Jason, and the granddaughters came down Thursday and stayed until Saturday. Jason and the girls helped me get caught up on some of my mowing and stuff around the house. The oldest granddaughter Taylor (age 13), I put on one of the larger farm tractors. Being from a rural community, she seemed to be trilled. I don’t think most 13 year old would be. Kayley (age 11), I put on my tractor and she drove it around like a champ and didn’t hit any thing. Jason worked with the weed eater and moved around some of the things I couldn’t. Great Help.

I found some gas bombs at Rural King, that was has H2S gas in them, to kill off some groundhogs that are in some of the building around the farm. Jason was all set with his rifle, called the fire department, notified the neighbors, and shutdown all the power to the buildings. We had dreams of big white clouds rolling out of the windows and groundhogs running out of the tunnels. We lite them off and I stood back with Debi to watch. BIG NOTHING. Debi makes more smoke when she burns diner, which is regularly. Total disappointment.

Nicole and our 2 year grandson Zander are in town from Houston to be with her sister. They came over Saturday morning to visit and have breakfast. My mother came over, so we kind of have a 5/6 family get together, which was great. Zander stayed the day and played with the rest of the grand kids. Nicole had a big problem getting Zander to leave that evening. Debi had to send him home with cleaning products to keep him from crying. He wants to clean anything and everything. I know for a fact that this not genetics thing. From either side of the family. It is totally environmental, I said thank-you Day Care and their routine wiping down everything and letting Zander watch and learn.
