WELL YESTERDAY WAS THE THIRD TREATMENT WITH AC.
FELT REALLY GOOD UNTIL ABOUT NOON TODAY, THEN THE HEADACHES STARTED, BUT AT LEAST NO CRYING SO FAR. STEROIDS SUCK! MY MOM CAME OVER TODAY AND SPENT THE DAY WITH ME. I THINK THAT REALLY HELPS JUST TO HAVE SOMEONE HANG OUT WITH YOU.
OF COURSE SHE HELPED ME OUT TODAY WITH CLEANING, COOKING AND LAUNDRY. SHE’S BEEN SUCH A GREAT SUPPORT THROUGH ALL
THIS. OH AND I CAN’T FORGET MY WONDERFUL HUSBAND, JIM (WHO ISN’T SUCH A BAD MR. MOM). HE’S LEARNING HOW TO MULTI TASK REALLY WELL! HE’S BEEN GREAT THROUGH ALL THIS TOO. HE LETS ME CRY WHEN I NEED TO AND SAYS YOU HAVE ALL THE RIGHT TO CRY IF YOU WANT TO. THERE’S JUST SOME DAYS THAT ARE WORSE THAN OTHERS. LOVE TO ALL AND I WILL WRITE MORE LATER…............. DORIS.
