Chemo went fine today and I was blessed with the wonderful company of Megan, Julie and Carrie. I am officially in the countdown. Three more weeks left of infusions and 4 weeks left of pills.
Something funny happened a little while back that I just have to share with you. Cracks me up to think about it. My very sweet, elderly neighbor guy came over to bring me dinner. Here is how the conversation went:
Nice elderly neighbor: Heard you were sick. The wife madejya supper.
Me: Thank you so much!
Nice elderly neighbor (as he watches Oscar play in the front yard): Yer boy is gettin' big.
Me: Yes, his is six.
Nice elderly neighbor: I know yer sick, thaswhy we brought you supper.
pause
Me (trying not to laugh): No, my son, he is getting to be a big boy. He is six.
* * * crickets chirping * * *
Nice elderly neighbor: Yeah, but you'll be well soon 'nough.
I lost the battle to not bust out laughing. He looked at me like I had 3 heads. I just imagine the conversation with his wife when he gets home. Something along the lines of how their odd neighbor is sick and keeps repeating herself and then cackling maniacally. Oh my....that hit my funny bone.
I am so lucky to have Megan here. I cannot describe how she lightens my load emotionally and physically. Between all of us....me, God, my sisters, my friends, all of you guys....we can finish this phase of the race with grace. Thank you for being with me, Megan and all of you, and for lifting me up.
My surgery is scheduled for May 27.

The Trifecta of Love for chemo. I don't think you can't do better than that. Hopefully the love potion will linger long after the side effects this time.
You are racing down the home stretch, the bleachers are filled with screaming and cheering friends, fans, family, and barking Sheperds, and the parade is in full preparation. Can you hear the crowds ROARING FOR YOU???

Woohoo!! Hi, Megan! Hi, elderly neighbor! Thanks, everyone, for helping sweet and strong Mimi. I can, indeed, hear the crowd roaring, all the way from Michigan. --Janice.
I am so sorry I missed you today. I hope you got my phone message. I see your surgery is May 27. My implant surgery is on May 26. I will pray for you, Maureen. The surgery will be fine and you will feel relieved once it is over.
My best to you! Mary Coman

OMG--how funny. I can just see this neighbor. Maybe I should draw a picture if him and see if I am close to reality.
Thanks for the share,
