Well, the doctors agreed to wait till my daughter’s visit was over and I take a 1 week visit to my aunt’s house before beginning the 10 day course of radiation. I’m so glad because this past week we have been going through all the things I had put away for her to look at and have only had a few problems with me being too tired. My back gets very tired and once in a while I need to wear my back brace, otherwise we have had a lovely visit. Looks like the weather in Las Vegas is going to be fairly warm next week, which sounds good to me. Too bad I won’t be doing much sight seeing this time around. We’ll just sit around visiting and relaxing, which I really need. Soon as we return the flurry of doctor appoints will resume again. Hope the radiation of my spine will offer me some pain relief. It’s a bummer to have to stop everything to lay down for a while. Pain can sure drain you of all energy~
Glad to read the updates on flying, I’ll be sure to take extra cash for the surprises that might await me. This time I’m requesting early boarding as well as wheelchair assistance. Those LONG walks to the boarding site can be really tough when your legs are weak and feel like jelly and you’re trying to lug the carry on luggage. I didn’t realize that when you request this special assistance they ask no questions, just grant your request~~ I think I’ll take along a small sealed container of applesauce as well as some yogurt for taking meds on the plane. My sister says she takes an empty bottle and fills it up with water when she gets close to the boarding area. Good tip huh?
Haven't worked on the doll houses this past month, too busy gathering 'things' to share with my daughter. It sure was fun looking at all my treasures as she unwrapped them! It felt like Christmas for both of us.
Hugs, Mariposa, Ronda
