St. Jude Children Research Hospital

Beside helping those dealing with cancer and their caregivers, I hope to help children dealing with cancer by having you hopefully donate to their care and future cures by donating to stjude.org

Work was busy all week, looked forward to the weekend........although tired from long hours at hour (12 hour shifts), I felt strong. My weight workout went well all week. Still have the lump on the chest, so not an infection....either something wrong with the port or.....do not want to think about it but scheduling an appointment to see the doctor this week.

Good morning and Happy New Year 2012...........

Celebrated the New Year's Eve at in-laws like every pass years for the last 21 years...as we got older, the festivities have mellowed. When I met my in-laws, they were party animals where all extended family came over...sometimes as many as 70 people or plus....now, its only the immediate family so less than 20 and festivities were more playing family games instead of the non-stop dancing and singing. You realize that we are getting old but never the less it was a good night with them.

I was questioned by my niece about how I felt dealing with my cancer. She feels that in my attempt to be strong for others that I am not expressing my feelings, anxiety and fears...she is studying to get her PhD in psychology...I am in the same field....although I tried explaining, she misunderstood my point (maybe too much tequila or too noising for her to hear right). Oh well, next time I will try harder.

Its been a long time since I did not need to work on New Year's Day, so we were able to stay out late..we went to bed close to 4am. Its 11:30am and Bryan is still asleep.

Well, I wish everyone a healthy and happy New Year...with God grace, I hope no more cancer but if it comes back, I hope to have the strenght to deal with it.
