Well, only 7 more days, and I'm ready to ring that bell. No worries. I was talking to my teaches today, and one of them gets to go to Spain. Lucky!!!!!!! She told me she would just pack me in her suit case, love that.
Friday will be my final chemo in this round!!!!! Dr. Smith called today and wants me to talk to a new patient to tell him "what really happens at the cancer center" it's like a giant party?!??!?!?!? I don't think that's what he wants me to say but he won't be there so I can say what I want, but he says me a new kid will get along, so I am thinking I'll have a new friend. Yay!!
Grandma was here this past weekend and hung out with me on Monday! I think the family is coming over, this weekend, to help us eat some lasagna. Yummmmyyyyyyy!!!! And I'm not sure what else we will do, but it's a long weekend, so everyone gets an extra day!!! :)
I'm ready for my glasses, from dr. W, to arrive, I need a new view on the world!! Yay I'm ready to rock them! I'm also very ready for my month break. I'm going to eat yummy food with awesome people. Go to Iowa to watch my friend bec play soccer, and go to Arkansas to visit my grandma and best friends. We also talked about hitting up lamberts, because who doesnt want rolls thrown at your head??? And maybe a quick trip to Branson, I'll see what I can pull. Maybe we can even get rid of silver!! I see big changes in september, let's do this!!

It's Friday!!!!
Well, guess friday is fun day?? Today started bright and early with a doctor visit for dad..... Then a trip out to jccc for my placement test...after one frusterating call later we found out I only had to take the math..matter not being given a pencil.. I was given one and completed the math test..can't say I did fantastic.. But I did okay. Then we had a meeting at 11 with the most unhelpful person ever....so enrolled and books bought later, we were on our way. To eat "The Pizza Man" for lunch..yay!!!!! So good.
Then we headed to chemo. We saw Lavon and dr. Smith and they sent us upstairs!!! We got rebeka as our nurse..she's the best. Side splitting funny!! Loved having an extra break from radiation but missed my techs. Fun times!!

Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday!
Oh Monday was you average rainy kc day. Radiation meant blood and doctor day. We found out I have eseophigitious (?) and mom self diagnosed allergies leaving me with a runny nose. My white blood counts (WBC) where low last week so a very welcome dinner phone call left us with no more gfc shots!! Unless otherwise told!! WBC back up! We wll see how tomorrow goes..... The doctor(s) didn't say much. Takes magic mouthwash, that's about it. We are trying it.
Today went quickly. Did a double workout. Party!!!!!! Radiation also flew by. And it ended with a houseful of my dear friends. Before the jack, Betsy, and Lizzy leave tomorrow! All with family dinners before then! Adorbs! Lol
We also got a call from rad. That told us rad will be long tomorrow..... Maybe an extra hour? I may get to lay in my back? I don't understand. But I'll find out I guess. Every day is a new day!

Weekend break
Weekends are fun!!
Saturday we went to the movies with christa and crew to seethe help! I loved it! I then picked fazoli's for luck!!! It rocked!! Then we had family time. Port is getting so big and laney is goofy! We got cake out of it. Thanks lane! She was very confused by my walker soooooo yeah.
Sunday we went to church. I took a nap. Mom ran to the fabric store. And cvs. Then I chopped my hair off. And we have pizza for dinner. Church people rock.
Getting the hair cut off was a highlight! I was so tired of pulling long chunks out of my hair. Corie and I are very excited to see what's gonna come in. Let's hope for dark and curly????!?!?!?!
My aunt and uncle got me a sweet hat and I can't wait to rock it. Mom also found me a scarf bring on old man winter!
Also dr. Smith said I should walk down the stairs backwards eyes closed.. And someday run backwards. Blindfolded. Yep. Working on that. My work out went extremely well today. We added the weighs and dad...(who wasn't as good) did it with me.

Here comes friday
It's been an interesting and great week. Thus far
Monday went well! Tuesday was long. I laid on the radiation table for an hour with nothing happening before the doctor decided I needed a new face thing.. So after another hour I was on my way. I also got to have dinner (Sooooo good) with dear dear friends! It was normal so awesome. Bec and I told all of our rebellious stories from last summer.......
Wed brought a very quick treatment and after a collapsed vein (whoops) a blood draw. I also caused trouble! (so me) talked my techs into watching YouTube if time allowed.....because well the back of ymy head is rediculous! Lol. I hope they loved it. Cannot wait to find out. Then I had dinner on noodles and co. Party!! 9 pastas and 3 appetizers. Talk about full! As they called it today carb coma'! I was in one. But we rocked and LOVED it!
This mornings wake up came at 630 in order to get everything done. We had to go to KU and see dr. M and Connie. Amazing people. Mom got a car wash. Now we hang until radiation day 11! Look at me. Trucking along here. Maybe I can be the lady in he shirt today?!?!? Who says that...the lady in the shirt. So descriptive, when it's all women.

Day 8
Today was treatment number 8 of 31. Getting there illl get to ring the bell some day! Lol. I mean I'm a pro now so who cares, right? Monday is doctor and blood day so the wonderful Kim helped us out before we saw dr. Wang and dr. E. Dr. Wang asked about my eyes and tested those out. All in well in the oncology world. Today we laughed, I wore my sr. High camp shirt which is neon yellow, so I was already radiating... Didn't need them today.
We also had trouble getting the mask to fit. My head is getting bigger?? I don't know!
I told dad that the lead room is a time warp. It's like I lay down and I lose all concept of time. It seems like forever, it's not.. But on tuesdays it is, gotta take all sorts of photos. I move around so it alway takes longer. Tomorrow the goal is one shot. Yo not move around..as much???
