by Terri and Katie and what they did for me. They participated in Run for the Cure in Virginia on the Oceanfront in my name. Terri has been a dear friend since high school and her daughter has met me twice.. once this past summer when they came to visit and once when she was about 6 when I went to them (and she does not remember that!). Kat finished in a little less than 30 minutes and Terri in 49 minutes...pretty good time for both of them I would say! My only complaint is that they were not close enough for me to go and cheer them on.
I think that is the thing I am struggling with the most is that the friend who offer me the most emotional support are too far away. I will admit that this has been a rough week for me emotionally, I think things are finally hitting me as to what is in store in the next 2 months and that fact that I am dealing with it all pretty much on my own has smacked me in the face this week on many levels. Everyone says "Call me if you need anything" but quite honestly those who really know me know that I don't ask for help and they are the ones calling and emailing and texting me. They are the ones who are telling me "I am off work Tuesday and want to take you to chemo, or bring me lunch during chemo or come visit me during chemo, or calling me in the evenings and letting me vent and checking on me.....and you are the ones I could not do this without and I love all of you so much more for knowing me well enough to do these things. Some of you have known me a long time and some of you a shorter time...but you have me figured out. Just taking those few minutes to send me a text to let me know you are thinking of me means so much. I hope I never have to do these things for any of you, but know that I would.
In other news.. Bella got fixed yesterday and was very stoned last night and a bit hungover today still. She also had a retained baby tooth removed. A quiet weekend in store for both of us.. her recovering and me resting up for me week ahead. On Monday I have the appointment with the radiologist to find out what will be in store after my surgery, which will take place the second week of December. My surgeon says I will be healed up by Christmas, I hope he is right. Now that Bella is fixed she will be able to go stay with her birth parents during my hospital stay. What would I do without my amazing other family the Boehleins?
So I wish everyone a great weekend.. happy camping to the Bryan family and my brother and nephew, Go Gators to all my Gator friends... and happy fall to everyone else!
