Amy's 'momentary trouble'

It’s me again. I thought I would give Vince another break in doing the blog. Now what I should do is tell a story on him but as one of my very good friends named “Pink” says, I have chemo brain and my mind escapes me right now. If you haven’t been keeping track I finished my 10th day of radiation yesterday. WooHoo!! Seventeen more to go!!! I also finished the week only throwing up once and that was previous to having the port put in so I am grateful for the port, however having the needle changed wasn’t the most pleasant experience.
I don’t know if spring has arrived in your area but it hasn’t here. I am so anxious for nice weather but all good things come to those who wait. We did have one nice day last week but I would like many more of those in succession.
A typical day for me is boring but something I thought I would share. I get up around 6:00 dink around for ½ an hour then make sure Vince is getting up. I get in the shower about 6:45 or 7:00 then proceed to get myself ready. About 7:45 or 8:00 I leave to go to Madison for radiation. That appointment is usually 9:00 or 9:15. I usually am under treatment for 15 to 30 minutes it just depends on the day. I get done and go home. I have a minute or two to myself then I go and get Hope from Wendy’s who has been so great to take her everyday. I bring Hope home and we have an hour or so to ourselves. After that I take her to school and come back home and rest or nap. At 3:00 I start my rounds all over again to pick up the kids sometimes 2 sometimes 3 sometimes 4 it depends on what the older two have after school. We come home and I continue to do my resting. Sometimes I try to figure out what to have for supper but I’m not really good at that anymore. Then I might leave again to pick up one of the older two when they get done or they get a ride home. That’s my day in a nutshell without the evening.
Lastly I want to thank my Mom for coming up and making me dinner so many times. I could have had the chicken and peppers meal each night and been happy about it. It was so nice having her up here. I love you, Mom for giving up your time at home to come take care of me.
That’s all for now, thanks for reading the blog!
