A ton of bricks

Today it hit me like a ton of bricks, just what were in for , sure I new how serious her condition is, sure you feel bad,sad,sorry, compassion, but when you start to really realize this isn't a cold and it won't be easy,and maybe just maybe you have a chance of losing , well it puts a big hole in my heart . Of coarse I feel sorry for myself , but above all there aren't many people like Maggie in this world , she is truly Gods ambassador .
Her treatments aren't painful or causing distress, she is eating well, feeling good, and as social as ever. But the chemo is starting to cause hair loss, and bless her she is not complaining or depressed by it. The hospital has what I call a wig room that is staffed by volunteers it's full of wigs and hats and scarfs and a lot of that kinda stuff, and its all free thru the cancer society watching Mag was delightful and alarming she was like a kid in a candy store, uninhibited full of wonder , which styles which colors, do you like this one? to her it was almost normal, to me it opened my eyes , this for real!
Well she picked two of different styles and colors I think they both look good, but I kinda like the blond one . Right after we left we went to cut her hair now it'd shorter then mine, and still doesn't look bad.
I know this sounds unfair but I checked with Mag and she said it's O.K. with her. I would like everyone to leave a comment which one you like.
Thanks Love to All B & M

Monday Monday can't trust that day

Greetings from some time raining, mostly sunny Florida. Got up about 7:30 this morning to the sounds of booom booom , I thought it was the house across the street, it's under construction, but I knew by the tug on my side of the bed it was Lulu, and she was scared (always when there is thunder) she is the one who is the independent , and spends much of her time outside , hunting, frogs ,lizards, butterflies, things that go bump in the night.Once she brought a Tortuga like a turtle but doesn't live in the water , lives in Burroughs in the ground. She is affectionate but not too much , she'll come in and say high but goes back out, anyway when it rains she wants to cuttle up in my lap she shivers and is scared I like it as much as she does, so we spent about an hour watching tv this morning.Good stuff !
Had a 10:00 a.m. doctors app. for her first chemo treatment,the first time with new doc, it took about 1 hour, they gave her anti-nausea , and potassium, IV since it's the first time. She now has a pump attached to her port we will have to learn how to cope the tape that holds it on her port bothers her the most no I think having to drink 8, 8oz of water a day is worse. Later we went to radiation doc this took about 1/2 an hour, no pain or discomfort, Mag says so far so good ! we will see as time goes by this will continue for 6 weeks once a day for rad. twice a week to put on the pump and take off the pump Monday and Friday.
Her painting is going forward, it's her enjoyment, and makes time pass for her, as for me she asks me every 20 minutes "how does this look ?" the only draw back is she has to slow her down, she wants to Finnish to fast to start another, this week end she spent $70.00 on supplies. Well that's all from the left bank .
Love Bob & Mag

Ouch ! That really hurt !

Today we went to the radiation doc for our first visit , It didn't involve any radiation we just had to go for a prodcedure that kinda suprized me Mag said she thought they told her she had to be tatooed , well shur enough when she came out of the office she was saying that really hurt ! she lifted her blouse and showed me her new tat. It's permanent she got them last week after her scan just in marking pen now she can ride a motor cycle but can't wear a bikini ! I told her she ought to get her eyes done while she was there she declined.
There there for land marks to aim the radiation which we will began next Monday some of her girl friends took her out for lunch which she needs well that's about for it now everyone enjoy your weekend ,I can feel the change in the season! It doesn't get hot as fast, Love to all B &G

Today is the day for cleaning the house we have some one come in to help, but why do woman clean before the lady comes? Yesterday we went to the nail place to get Mags toenails tuned up , when she was in the hospital everyone could recognize her by her toes !
Our a/c quite working yesterday so we called to have it fixed, the guy came this morning
there was a bunch of ice on the coils, he said it was because of a bad valve that he has to order, but he did get it working for the time being.
My pictures are of a non personal nature , mag didn't think it was appropriate of me to post her in a night gown , it wasn't her I was posting about anyway ...............
Till next time B&M

These are some of the pests we have to deal with around here.
