Round Four on Wednesday....another long session. If all is good this should be the last five hour session...the last of the steroids! YEAH!!!!!
Upon talking with a colleague I was asked, "What's been the best part of your summer?"
Mind you we have stayed very close to home for medical appointments and fear of infections and germs that my body is not strong enough to fight. Paul and I have gone on some day trips. Up to Mt. Rainier (where I was devoured by bugs...hope my chemo blood made them puke!), Alki Beach, Snoqualmie Falls (Both places which I'd never been). On some of these trips Paul has been into "looking cool" driving the Z....but when he kills the engine and panics because he's not looking cool and turns on the windshield wipers when there's not a spot of water to be had it makes me laugh so hard I cry. Those episodes will be remembered with joy. But the best place has been Spa Marston & Wezeman where we over imbibe on cool beverages on warm days bonding with our goldfish, watching Tucker trying to pet them and Pyewacket trying to catch butterflies.
The best part of summer is knowing I am loved, having lots of people sending me positive thoughts, and praying for me.
Make Pink Tough and Continue to Expect Great Things

Congrats on finishing your last L-O-N-G chemo session!!! I am wearing my Team Marston shirt and thinking about you today!
ReplyDeleteHey there - Bo just called me today - we hadn't talked since his wedding. At any rate, I'm glad to see you are kicking butt. You're in our prayers!

Ah you did it =D you're one of the strongest women I know and you most definitely MAKE PINK TOUGH! POW! Congratulations!!! How did you two celebrate the end of the roids?? Aw I'm so happy for you =) goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Leah!
ReplyDeleteLeah, I've missed "seeing you" while I was on my trip. I have thought of you lots and it is good to be back to catch up on your news. I have probably said this before, but you are so INSPIRING. Your sense of humor, joy, love--they all radiate through your words. I would take some of that nausea and weakness away physically if I could, but the best I can do is keep you in my heart and prayers. Can we share "big butts" at the "Advance"? I don't have as good an excuse as you do, but maybe we can challenge one another to a weight loss contest. I have wedding photos and a solo dance with my son to inspire me. YOU GO, GIRL. Kick those nasty cells. Love to you and Paul.
ReplyDeleteWhat I'm thinking...
ReplyDelete-Yay!! No more chemo!! (Fingers & toes crossed & really big prayers)
-You inspire me! I can only imagine how hard this journey has been for you and Paul, yet you hold your head high and still find joy and humor in things.
-You crack me up! I love the bit about the bugs puking on your chemo blood! :o)
-I miss you!! I'm hoping it will finally work out here soon for me to come visit.
Stay strong, sister! And don't forget that you kickassery! ;o)
Leah, I think of you every day and I am so glad you have some fun this summer. I am glad you have found some joy during this stressful and frightening time. I love you very much.
