My keyboard has been burning up, not because I am blogging (although I have commented on a few blogs) but because I have been shopping online. Since I cannot shop out in the world like I enjoy...seeing all the sights and smelling all the smells, I have been doing it in here...lol. And I have baked a couple of batches of my mothers cookies...something she did every Christmas.
My tree isn't up yet. We still have to plaster the wall where the roof leaked (by default have new roof now) so we can put the furniture back and make way for the dining set (ordered pre-leak) that is being delivered (my first dining set...others have been hand me downs in my pre-divorce days) so the furniture deliverers can get through the sliding doors where the tree goes...yep...in that order. If any of that doesn't happen I am going to get some twigs from outside and place them in a vase and put Lifesaver candy canes (all the flavors of Lifesaver candies, none are mint) and stick it on my kitchen table...lol...I have used twigs before...lol!
I am waiting for my visiting nurse to arrive so I can take my first dose of arimidex...hormone. It is to help slow the tumor growth found in various parts of my body. I am off chemo now. It is a scary time. I don't have the umbrella of chemo keeping the dirty little pig at bay. And I have been allergic to stuff I have never been allergic to before...hence, I want to wait for the nurse.
He is an unsung hero (my nurse). He just became engaged to his honey...happy news! If he is the same guy I see in my home three times a week as he is in his own home, she is a lucky gal. And I am lucky to have had him thus far to help me.
Have any of you had any luck with hormone therapy? Did it help inhibit your tumor growth? I barely had any trouble with hot flashes before So I am told, they will come with this med...great...
I think I will make an apple pie today (I have a bought crust...heh heh heh)...
