Going dark!

Ok, I am sending out a blog to let you all know that I am going dark and may not write again for a while.  Tomorrow is my second chemo treatment and I don't always feel like writing for the week following a treatment.  I am hoping, of course, that starting the Neupogen shots earlier (I think they will start this Monday) may help to keep me from feeling so lousy.  I think the first time, I was feeling so bad because my white blood cell count went so low and I was getting an infection.  I did start to feel better once I started on antibiotics and the Neupogen.  So, hopefully, I will do better starting those shots earlier.  But just in case...I wanted you all to know that I will resurface shortly.  Thankfully, I now know that the feeling lousy will not last forever.  That in itself is a true blessing and one that I do thank the Lord for.  So I shall see you all shortly.  But remember...I do so enjoy reading everyone's blog, so please keep them up.  They are a joy to read!

Going dark, that brings to mind the Seinfeld episode where Cosmo Kramer wanted to get out of the system. They loving explained to him there is no way possible to GET OUT once you are in.
Understand about going dark, but look forward to you re-surfacing.
Get the bell ready and warn the servants to sharpen their pampering skills. Mama will be keeping score.

Love Sooz

Jack Bauer would be proud. If you only had to stay dark for 24 hours, I would be much happier. --dum dum, dum dum, dum dum.

Me,

Gatorgirl and I are praying for you this go around. I like Ecclesiates 3:1-14. There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven .... A time to weep and laugh; a time to mourn and dance; a time to be silent and to speak .... He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has set eternity in the hearts of men.... I know that everything God does will endure forever...

Sis, We love you.

Dear Me, You know our love and prayers will go with you tomorrow and the following week. We pray also that these shots will help ease the effects of chemo this time. We will look forward to your return to the blogging world. Most of all that you will be up and feeling better very soon. Love you. Remember, it is okey not to do anything so don't feel guilty about staying in bed or lying around all day. I agree with Sooz, keep the bell handy.

I'm not entirely sure who you all are referring to, but the last time I checked...I don't respond to ringing bells. I plan on kickin' back this weekend, putting my feet up, sipping some Jones' cream sodas and watching the soaps. I might even eat some bon-bons. Perhaps I should be getting a bell handy for ME to use??!!

Me,
If they do not snap to at the sound of a bell, i am more than happy to send you a whistle. Sounds like your help needs to be whipped into shape. Make no mistake about it with proper training and discipline they WILL fall into line.

They will be happy to be hearing bells at that point.

Visiting your blog today and thought I would let you know that you are in my prayers.

But I have to agree with Sooz that if the volunteer help cannot seem to come when you ring the bell, we could send you over a whistle, better yet how about a fog horn!!
