His Grace, My Journey

January 29, 2013  Lessons in the Storm Lessons in the Storm.  I have been home for a couple of days now.  They kept me in the hospital for a week after my treatment to get me on my feet.  After being sick for four weeks when I entered the hospital for my 5th treatment, I think I have come home stronger than when I went in.  For this blessing I am faithful.  I am building my strength by walking on a treadmill that Jamie appeared at home with one day.  He has been getting himself in good physical shape and he knows that I can't go on walks outdoors and I need to build my strength.  This morning with it on its lowest setting for speed I walked a mile.  It took me almost an hour.  My heart knows I need to build myself up for the last chemo treatment.  The stronger I go in the better.  If there is a bed available, I am to be admitted to the hospital on Feb. 5th and given my treatment on Feb. 6th.  I hope you all will scream "ZE...

    Jamie & Paulette 15December201 2 15December2012  We Celebrated Christmas early, as the chemo nurse  told me when I started my treatment TAXOTERE, it could make me very ill, as I would have the other chemo drugs still in my system along with the new chemo drug.  And sick it truly made me on a whole new level.  At first, I ended up in the ICU and had a hospital stay of 7 days.   Jan. 9, 2013  Finding My Way Through The Darkness After meeting with my chemo doctor today, she decided I have  not  recovered enough from the last treatment to be given my treatment today.  I am going to wait a week and try to build up my strength and get my bowels etc. straightened out. I am going to have the treatment 11\2 hours away from home in St. Stephen. :O)  My chemo doctor has changed up some of the medications that I will be taking to help me with this next treatment and after the treatment, they are going to put me in the hospital to h...
