And Things Will Change Again

Today I had my second to last radiation treatment and tomorrow when I go in for the last one, I shall blow a wish into the room that I never have it again. I have a large square burn on my chest and I will also ask how long for that to heal.

I also saw my Oncologist today and she has put me back to work as of the 27th. She says I am quite the warrior with what I have gone thru and as my lymphoma is back I will need to have that addressed. First a CAT scan and then in a month we will talk about my options. She feels I need more healing time and I agree.

Thursday shall be a big day after being home for 3 months, I will give it my best shot. Our new show Blue Horizons opens this weekend and of course I do hope it is a hit. I have missed my work and the people I see on a daily basis and I look forward to being successfull and to continuing to heal, it is as it should be.

A moment in my time,

A Trip to the Hospital

I had been feeling quite ill but just did not know what was wrong. Not be able to freely breate is just not a good thing. I had a CAT scan on 4/23 and was told to expect to hear results by the following Thursday. Phone rang Monday and it was one of my Dr.s telling me that I had to go immediately to cardiology for an ultra sound as I had fluid on heart and that he would be putting me in the hospital.

Christopher came and got me and off we went and 5 days later I was released to go home. I was having congestive heart failure and with drugs was able to get the fluid moving and myself feeling so much better. I am now on drugs to help with the condition and plan to continue to follow Dr.s orders.

I am doing my radiation treatments and last week was taken by ambulance for said treatments and now I have taken a ride in a box on a guerney with wonderful EMT's who could not do enough for me. Thank you San Diego Fire.

I am half way thru radiation and of course will be glad when it is done.

My dear wonderful friends and family continue to lend their support and help and I do so appreciate everyone, it makes my heart smile.

My hair is growing back and I think I shall try for the Jamie Leigh Curtis look, hmmm.
