maestra, glad you made it through another day. Nice that you got a pat on the back. I only wish your principal understood how much effort you're putting in, to do your job. I know when I was in treatment, no way could I have worked, just no way. As for the 12 year olds, if they give you any trouble, let me know and I'll come and thump them on the back of their head! Lol. Kids at that age are such a pain. As a sort of joke, I used to tell my son that kids should be put in the deep freeze at 13 and thawed out when they're about 25. I wasn't joking entirely .

Jan I'm telling you this as a nurse and a cancer patient. Find the best medical center that deals with your type of cancer and get away from your Dr. She's toxic and doesn't belong in the field.

Maestra yeah I can see that your work horse and know your stuff. That's why they are happy to see you. Can't pray to Padre Pio for a raise. He was against anything that had to do with money. However I'll find another saint that does.

For the 2nd day in a row my principal told me how happy she was that I was back-and that there were no errant 12 year olds running crazily through the halls. Now if she came up with more than a 1% annual raise I could see staying for 1 more year. But it had better be a BIG raise.

That is awesome mae!!! Hope that boosted you for awhile. Nice to have a little atta girl now and again!!

Good Morning Ladies!!

I just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving!! Hope your holiday table is chock full of fun, love, laughter and great food!!!!!

My hubby and I (& Gracie) will be by oursleves tomorrow, but that's fine--I am grateful that my nasty bug is gone--and am looking forward to eating a bit of turkey, a sweet potato, some green bean casserole and a drop of stuffing--and, of course, a small slice of pumpkin pie. After the meal is over, we start sorting out the Christmas lights and decorations.I refuse to dwell on all of my upcoming tests and my cancer battle--I just want to take a deep breath and enjoy my little family.

Blessings for a lovely Thanksgiving to all!!!!!

To make matters worst my platelets were too low for my treatment yesterday. I'm usually a strong positive person but I ended up crying all the way home and yesterday was a really bad day.

My last two chemo sessions were postponed due to low platelets. I was so sad. I thought treatment would never end, but it did. I can rationally understand the reasoning. Just have to be patient for your body to be ready to do it.

Was up all last night w/vomiting @ 10pm then diaharrea (I can never spell this word correctly) @ 5am. Ugh, Dh thinks it was the fish. Taking it easy today, but went for rads-almost halfway done.

Hope everyone enjoys Thanksgiving Day; I know I have a lot to be thankful for. God bless.

Maestra sounds like to have the crud. That's what we called it. I swear there was a chinese restaurant across from the hospital that was determined to kill all of us. You just put your mat in front of the bowl and pray that it ends. Or in my case vomiting into a pail and having diarrhea at the same time. It will pass. Then it's gatorade for you.

I want to wish each and every one of you a happy thanksgiving. We each have our own special reasons to be thankful, and hopefully we will all have lots to be thankful for next year too. I'm thankful for my family, and for Gods many mercies. I'm thankful for my friends here and that we have a place to come together. Thanks QVC!

everyone have a wonderful day, with friends and family, enjoy!

Hope everyone is having a Happy & Blessed Thanksgiving Day...

I, on the other hand, came down with c.diff AGAIN---it recurred ten days after I finished the meds. Called my GI doc--thank goodness he was on call today--he prescribed 14 more days of the new drug I was on--I am BEYOND bummed and depressed!! It figures--I would get an illness that takes away my appetite on a holiday that revolves around food!!! I'm glad it's just my hubby and I---that I had the sense to cancel any guests a few days ago. Hope I can get the drug into me before this illness escalates like it did last time.

Would appreciate a few prayers that I can finally shake this nasty bug.

Hugs and blessings to everyone!!!
