To be honest I didn't feel good. Saturday morning Mom took me to the clinic to see a doctor for pain on my left side. It had been there for days and of course I kept complaining to the doctors thinking the pneumonia was back or still there. After taking xrays the doctor felt the pneumonia was clearing up and really did not understand what the pain was. So I emailed the lung specialist, Mindy Shapiro and told her how much pain I was in and yesterday she ordered Incodin which only cures Pleurisy. By last night going to Markie's for Christmas dinner I finally felt the pain going away. I was able to play with my grand kids and feel good. Thank God, Pleurisy really is painful!
Maxwell is home this week and I plan to spend time with him. First on the list is his favorite foods to eat. Steak is at the top with bake potato and tomorrow I'm going to make him pot roast with mash potatoes and gravy. He is doing great in San Diego with school and his job. We are so proud of him.
Probably won't see him until our trip to Tahoe in March. Can't wait!
Christmas dinner was soooo good! Erin made a ham with salad and vegetables. I was in charge of the scalloped potatoes and I made a 9 pound prime rib roast. Wow was that good! The kids were so good and played with all their new toys. Little Markie walked around the house with his hockey gloves and helmet on (even wore his helmet at dinner). It was a fun night.
So today I'm going to relax. I have chemo tomorrow but this is an off week from Decadron. So I'm not sore and with this new medication I don't have pain.
Mark and I are going to the lake house on Saturday until next Wednesday. I'm so glad to spend time at my little place. So peaceful!!! I have to be back before Thursday for chemo.
I'm ready to celebrate the new year. I hope and pray 2013 will be a good year for everyone. I know deep in my heart that every moment I have in 2013 will be a blessing. I will cherish each and every one of them.
Say a prayer for my Dad. He's in the hospital and not doing well. As all of you know I have been estranged from him for years. This does not mean I don't love him. It means that my Dad, the one I want to remember, died a long time ago. He is suffering with major health issues and not to mention being away from his family. I hope and pray Nana Salvato opens her arms and takes him with her.
Love you Dad!
Happy New Year! Be Safe! I watch a good movie yesterday with Clint Eastwood called Trouble with the Curve. His wife died and on her tombstone was the quote:
"May God Grant You Extra Innings"
Isn't that true! Loved it!
Love,
Debbie
