The Easter Holiday has passed, and I had a great weekend with my family. Saturday our entire family was together in Falls City, Nebraska. Today, I had my sister's entire family here and we went to church and then they finished up tidying my mothers house to prepare it for sale. It was both a joyous and sad occasion in church, but I'm blessed to have the unconditional love of a tremendous family. I get so much joy out of my nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews. My great nieces and nephews are still young, and they are the third generation of nieces and nephews, and I treasure each time I see all 6 great nieces and nephews. They truly bring the kid out and me. Seeing them has helped aid in the apprehension building for this final week of chemo.
Tomorrow is the 7 hour mega-day, and I've packed my bag with magazines, movies, my mp3 player and my iPhone. My sister, my role-model and best friend, will be with me which makes these long days much more tolerable. I've always been extremely close with Jane, and we are growing even closer. She and Wes have been such a phenomenal strength for me, and without them, I wouldn't have as much courage and enthusiasm. They are my number one cheerleaders.
I doubt I sleep much tonight, but that's okay. That means I'll be tired tomorrow and will hopefully sleep during most of the 7 hours of chemo. I usually try to stay awake for the first couple of hours, and then if I'm fortunate to nap for a couple of hours, it makes the time go faster. The 2 hour chemo's are much more tolerable, and go so much faster.
I'm hoping everyone had a lovely Easter with family, friends and loved ones.
Much Love,
Julie
