Well, it is very odd, but every time I come on and blog about life getting back to normal something else happens! I’m knocking on my nice birch desk that this is the not the case this time!

After the last entry, I was admitted to the hospital yet again for something unexpected during my cancer treatment. My gallbladder had to be removed and *ding*ding*ding I was the winner of yet another 6+ day stay in Portsmouth Naval. Many thanks go out to the men and women on my surgical and nursing teams that helped me along to the road to recovery. At one point there was a big debate about stopping my radiation and chemotherapy due to the surgery.(Even I knew that was not an option!) I’m proud to say that I only missed one day of radiation and my weekly chemotherapy was not postponed even 10 min bc of the emergency surgery!

I’ve been home for four days now and to be honest I’m not quite feeling as chipper as I’d like to be. I’m half way through the first phase of my treatments and my side effects are starting to present themselves. On the bright side, so far my numbers look good and I’m staying motivated! Now if I could just eat or drink something/anything without suffering for it later, life would be good!!

BTW, if there is a next time that I’m unexpectedly thrown into the hospital again, I’m taking my camera!

Love to you all,

Leslie
