Summer's Journey

Dear Friends,

WOW...it's been almost one week since my last post...time flies for lots of interesting reasons...

I am re-writing this blog...for some reason I went to edit this blog for spell check and I lost the entire blog...so ...here I go again...

As most of you know, I had my second chemo on tuesday...I did really well until I was finished and ended up with a challenging level of fatigue for tuesday night and wednesday....I managed to sleep alot. I did not get the horrible flu pain this time...I was supposed to have a shot at home for the nuetrophils but I got a little worried when I found out the shot costs over $3000....so I opted to go back down to my chemo nurse and had her do it...I did wake up thursday morning with more flu like symptoms but still bearable...no where near the pain I felt from the first chemo....YEAH...the fluish feeling continued all day on friday ...this morning I woke up able to blog...

Leslie Engle's 3rd grade class wrote me get well cards...it's a beautiful thing to read from the mouth of babes....what a lift...thank you to her 3rd grade class...

Thank you to so many that have been and continue to be generous for many reasons....I am beyond grateful...

I'm working on getting a class...some classes...ongoing classes going again....once I figure out my good and not so good days...I will be able to re-connect ...there was a suggestion that I co-teach or have someone teach for me to perhaps be a way to raise money for the cause...I'm working on this right now...it's quite possible I can start with the night yoga classes on tuesday and thurdsay ...starting in January...would you prefer the first or second week of January to start back...most likely I will feel well enough to do both...however...on the off chance that I don't feel well...I will have a teacher not just any teacher ...a very special teacher be there to share in this healing. Let me know what you think? Blog or email

I'm also trying to get us together for a New Year's celebration...originally...I had rented the room at Indigo Village for saturday the 30th of Dec...if you are all up for it...I know that day is a safe day for me with my symptoms...I would love to teach yoga and share in spirit dance with all of you....does that sound good? I am still waiting on confirmation from Indigo Village to see if that day is still available...I miss you all so much...it will feel amazing to be with you again....I will let you know the moment I know if we can get the room...heads up for this date....

Hopefully...I will continue to feel better from the second chemo...I look forward to seeing you soon...Much love to you and continued thanks for all that you are doing for me...your thoughts...your prayers...your ideas...your generosity...your food...WOW...your flowers...
flowers are safe again....my white count is at a better range...thanks to Kiko for the beautiful flowers sent from Hawaii...she is in Hawaii for Christmas...

Please stay in touch and continue to share with me about your lives...it means so much when you share with me...it helps me stay connected to you...I miss our talks...I miss our time together...some of you have said that you feel shy about blogging...it's ok to call or email as well...

I love you,
Summer

    Summer:

    I'm so glad to hear that this chemo and it's after effects was not as bad as your first session. I've put December 30th on our calendar. I don't know where Indigo Village is but I'm sure you will let us know.

    I've been wrapping Christmas presents today and am getting ready to bake some gingerbread cookies. I have my in laws and my family coming for the holidays. My father-in-law is now 93.

    Take care. Thanks for keeping all of us updated on your progress.
