eileen - 29 Feb 2008 19:55 GMT Hello to All and Welcome to the New Members!
I had an early PCR again because recovery is slow for me, but NP & doctors say I was on treatment a long time and I need to give myself almost half as long to recover. Let's see half of 77 weeks is 9 months, I think. My bones ache and my Peripheral neuropathy is giving me more pain. I still sleep too much, can't finish a thing and I'm talking to the birds..
But on the sunnier side of the street--Ta Da--- I'm gonna be a first time grandma in July and I sure want to be with it to hold my grandson. I'm looking to downsize our home and we're on the hunt, and trying to get ours on the market. We're hoping to sell it. I never thought Id' leave it alive but I realized after treatment I would like to live on one floor and do away with the pool. Wish me luck!
Anyhow, I'm still lurking when I can and will try to add something if I can and I'd be happy to tell about my treatment. My NP was the best.
eileen peace, love and bobby sherman !

FWIW, I think you are doing better than you think you are, just from reading your post. I remember some of the ones you wrote while on tx :)
Spring is coming, and you'll feel like a new person when it finally gets here -- I am soooo ready for spring!
big hugs atcha Sara

I feel some days are better thant others and will be retested in June for both the PCR and the Cognitive/Memory problems. The aches and pains haven't budged yet though maybe because I already have periperal neuropathy but there is quite a difference in the aches and the burning pain of neuropathy. Bittersweet is what spring is to me. The work of cleaning up my gardens after a year or so of neglect is going to be more work than normal and then to sell it off will be hard but the garden of the home I have my eye on has been lovingly cared for just waiting for me. oooooooooooh I hope to get it before someone else outbids me. You sound wonerful, are you ready to ride soon? eileen

Always ready to ride :) Weather's not cooperating yet tho :( should be able to start getting some short rides in pretty soon, but usually doesn't really get nice around here til april/may.
big bridge tournament going on in the motor city this week (started March 6, ending March 16). we've been downtown every day except monday and I'm having a blast. 2 friends staying with us, one from the Seattle area, and one from New Orleans. Another good friend from Calgary staying at the playing site (the Marriott in the Renaissance Center) and have run into at least 1/2 dozen other players I know from playing online bridge.
Feeling pretty good, amazed that I've been able to keep up and play two sessions (at 3 1/2 hours each!) a day... I could not have done this any time in the 5 years preceeding TX. I guess my stamina is improving, eh
anyway, stamina or not, it's 1:30 am, and I've been up and running since 8am. Kinda wiped out here, so I am OFF TO BED!
big hugs, and keep feeling better every day Sara
Dwight - 29 Feb 2008 20:38 GMT > Hello to All and Welcome to the New Members! > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > peace, love and > bobby sherman ! Keep up the good work Eileen. I haven't even considered doing another round of tx lately. I feel better than I have in years. We've already got our house on the market, but I'm up sizing. I should have my head examined for doing this at my age. :) They've already finished building our new house and we hope we have a buyer for our present house, should know in the next few days. We've been in this house for nearly 20 years and watched two of our kids grow up here, seems strange to think we may be moving. Good luck on the SVR and the house hunting and selling. It's a good time to shop for homes, bad time to be selling though.

I sure am happy to hear how well you feel, you've had some bad times and you deserve feeling good. I know what you're talking about with watching the kids grow up in the house and now leaving it. Both my children have homes of their own now but they've been asking why, what will the grandkids do for a swimming pool and the extra bedrooms for sleepovers................. HA HA I want one floor, one bath, one master bedroom, my craft room and Bobs garage, a basement for hiding stuff and a full attic with possibilites for a game room. That's it beside the garden and a place to hide the boat in the winter. The fishing season is almost starting here and during treatment I was landlocked, interferon or ribaviron just wasn't good on the ocean for me. We did trade up for an ocean fishing boat and sold the ski boat to young people who could enjoy it better, it wasn't really good for fishing either but it served us well on the river. I've come to enjoy flounder, cod and strippers every few days for dinner. Good luck to you also in the selling of your home. Keep in touch, You and the cookies were my lifesaver's. :)

Glad to hear you're almost done. We are going to take Donna fishing this summer, she's mentioned how much she likes fresh flounder, and how she likes to fish but has only been out on head boats, if your feeling up to it maybe you could come too. We leave out of the Shark River by Bellmawr. Keep up the good work..
