Thanks all, I just got back from taking my car for a drive, that felt weird, I've been driven everywhere I wanted to go lately, but it was nice. My shoulder where the port is, is a little sore, but I was told to expect that. And my neck is bugging me too, might have to make an appointment with the chiropractor, don't know. Well, I'm off again, thanks all for the good wishes, I really do appreciate them

Okay guys, another update, ha ha ha.
Heck, I haven't even left the house all day, because I was arguing with my insurance company about seeing the chiropractor.
Now I just went to log onto ITB and just found out that my IP address has been banned, what the heck is up with that?
Well, I off to check my email, I'll let you all know when I go back for my next round of chemo. Thanks again for the good wishes all, I do appreciate them

Well I got the okay from my Primry Physician to go to the Chiropractor, only because I have cancer, isn't that frickin stupid. He said that he wouldn't usually agree to it, but I have alot of things on my plate, and it won't hurt anything. Whatever. Also got an email from Joe from ITB about being banned, and was told that I'm unbanned, the problem is that apartently I access ITB through multiple IP addresses everytime I log on, and he had banned some of them, because of people being idiots, so I tried to log on, and it says that my IP address is still banned, so I emailed him back. Well see what happens. I don't get it. Well, I'm off to check my email, again. I'll update this later whenever I find out anything.

Okay guys, I'm back in the hospital, went to the oncologist's, she asked if I had my bag packed, which she told me too do, I told her that I did, so she asked if I was ready to go back for my next treatment, I told her that I should since I already here. Then I had to spend 2+ hours waiting downstairs for a room on the oncology floor, which I am in now.
So that's the next update for now, I should be getting my 1st chemo treatment soon, haven't yet, but my nurse said that I would, so all I have to do is wait, yipee!! =)
Anyways, that is this update for now, thanks for the good luck wishes and everything else, I appreciate them =)

As far as I know, 5 days, but that could change, my sister wrote under my Goals: Leave Tuesday, that would be 6 days, which is how long that I was here last time. Just got done eating breakfast, waiting for my tray to be taken away, and checking my email and the hockey sites. So far, so good. Hopefully I will feel as good as I did the last time that I was here. Waitng on my 'Backstage Pass ie. Campus Access Pass to be able to leave the 8th floor, my nurse today started the paperwork yesterday, so hopefully it will be done soon, my dad's cousins may or may not be up today or Sunday, my family is planning on coming back on Saturday, so I won't miss them too much. Well, that's the update for now. Will update tomorrow

Okay another update.....Apparantly since I had my Campus Pass the last time that I was in here, I didn't have to worry about getting it this time, atleast that's what the RN that I had yesterday said.
I got outside, it was nice, a little warm, but nice. I sat down in a bench where the old hospital entrance used to be, seeing as I now have to avoid direct sunlight, which sucks!!!! I like being able to hang either arm out the window and get a tan, which I can still do, just can't lay out in the sun, which I have never done anyways. So it's not a hardship to avoid something that I never did.
I'll be getting my next chemo treatments, and nausea pill, and anti-inflammatory stuff around 6 pm, so that's the plans for the day.
So that's it for now, will update more, as I know more.

I just heard some news.....For those of you who didn't know, my grandmother is currently is a nursing home, and has been for almost a year. Well today when my dad, mom, a friend of mine, and I were downstairs in the hospital. The nursing home called him, my grandmother's blood pressure was low, and her heart was beating too fast. Hospice is currently taking care of her at the nursing home, she's 92 years old, and wasn't expected to last this long, because of her health. She has Emphysema, Parkinson's Disease, and a bunch of other thing wrong with her.
I just wasn't expecting to here this news this soon. I know/knew that she wasn't going to live forever, but still wasn't expecting this. So I'm kinda bummed, but will keep up a good face, because that is what she would want me to do. It's just hard being so far from home. But my family has told me that they will call me as soon as they hear anything, I just wish that I was home, but I don't have a choice in the matter, for once, my health is more important.
Just wanted to let you guys know. So if I seem kinda bummed, you know why.

Okay guys and gals, another update......my grandma passed away @ 1 am this morning. My dad called and let me know, as far as I know, she went peacefully. She plans on being creamated, so I don't know if or when there will be a funeral. I'll let you guys know when I know anything, I'll be getting out of the hospital as far as I know on Tuesday morning after breakfast is served.
And then we plan on going to Greenfield Village for their Chocolate Exhibit, we were planning on doing that last week, but my sister, Sue's car had the security system take the car over, and then we got that fixed, but it took until Wednesday to do that. Then we went to take my dad's van, and it had a gas leak, which was fixed by the next day, but then that was Thursday, and also my oncologis't appt. So nothing happened that we planned last week, maybe, just maybe this week will be different.
Atleast I sure hope so.
Thanks for the good wishes and everything else, I appreciate them all =)

Okay guys, another update.....Sorry that there hasn't been one lately, but I've been busy. Our booster club for the the IceHawks is having a Garage/Bake Sale this weekend, and I made zuccinni and banana bread and brownies for it, so I've been a little too busy to update the thread. We're still all doing good, my gram's funeral is set for the 28th of this month, which would have been her 93rd b-day if she would have still been alive. I haven't needed my anti-depressents yet, but probably will when it's time for the funeral, my next doctor's appt is next Tuesday, so I'll know more then. Sorry that I haven't been on here, but now that I'm home, I've been finding other things to do. Well, that's all for this update, thanks all blroth(aka-Becky)

Okay guys and gals...another update. I went to the oncologist's yesterday, as things are going fine. I FINALLY got my perscription for Prilosec filled, stupid frickin' insurance. Anyways, I'll be going in Sunday or Tuesday for my next round of chemo, the reason for the different days is because my doctor suggested Tuesday, and then I realised when I got home that the ICEHAWKS Booster Club is having their Membership Picnic next Saturday, and I want to go. So I called the office this morning, and their 'supposedly' going to leave her a message, we will see, I don't have much faith in her office staff, some of them are a bunch of flunkies. Anyways, we're all doing fine, my gram's funeral is set for the 28th, which would have been her 93rd b-day, so that's all that is going on for now. Thanks for all the good wishes, I do appreciate them blroth(aka-Becky)

Okay guya and gals, time for another update....I'm back at Beaumont Royal Oak for my next (#3) Round of Chemo. I've had my anti-nausea pill, and my anti-inflammatory shot, just waiting for my 2 bags of chemo to come up. I was supposed to be admitted on Tuesday, as I said in another post, but I realised that I had something to do on Saturday, that I really wanted to go to, so I called my doctor and had her admit me today. Our Booster Club is having a Membership Picnic on Saturday, which I want to go too, so I rescheduled. I've been here since about 2 p.m. or so, I had to wait for a bed to come available, and it did around noon. I have a private room, which is fine, but weird, I'm used to having a room mate, but I'll be fine, I'm sure. I have a nice view of the outdoors, I've already been outside, I walked my sister, dad, and a family friend out to my sister's car, and then came back in. It's really hot out here, which is weird seeing that the day started out cool. I'm currently freezing as the air-conditioning is on, and I have my usual clothing on, a tank top and shorts, I'm thinking about getting under the covers, I might be warmer that way. I had my little fan that I bring with me on earlier, and I had to turn it off, as I was freezing. I currently have my sweater jacket on that I bring with me, and that's helping. But I'm still cold, brrr. Well, that's this update for now, talk to you all later, I'll try to keep this updated as I can. I have my dad's old laptop with me, so I'll be fine. Thanks for all the good wishes, I do appreciate them
