Busy busy week..March 13th to March 19th, 2017…. Chemotherapy week plus move week…

Monday, March 13th, 2017:  Chemo treatment day, 9:15 am at RGH Cancer Care Clinic…. This morning I felt really really sick, must have been nerves.   I didn’t take any of my medications initially as I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to.  Just before we left the house I took the medications cause I was not feeling well.  By the time we got to the hospital I told the nurse I didn’t feel good.   She got me all set up for chemo treatment except she wasn’t able to find a vein to get a needle into… there is one nurse there that does this when they have trouble – done.

Okay, I’m there for 4 1/2 hours.  I was a bit restless, I guess since it was my first time and didn’t know anything.  I was up and down to the washroom. Next time I go for treatment, I’ve been instructed to take the chair closest to the washroom ( yes I was up to the washroom 7 times 😜).  Nurse Brigette said I’m first there for next treatment so we will set me up in the chair by the washroom and also by a door that opens ( cause yes I got really hot a couple of times!). I was there so long they do serve lunch which is great because I seem hungry every 2 or so hours. Tiffany and Luca came and picked me up at 2pm. Home we go to do more purging and packing

Tuesday and Wednesday I think we’re just continuation of purging and packing since MOVE Day was fast approaching.    However I did have another conversation with someone at Fair Pharmacare this week.  I really wish I has gotten her name…. she was horrible and quite frankly rude.  I explained my situation as I have been over the past few weeks.  It was always the same answer – once taxes are filed and the “notice of assessments are available” then I can request the “review and request they use 2017 income”. Completely different answer today. Answer I received was ” oh you are too late, there is nothing we can do for you”… so I go through my speech and she just didn’t care. I then asked if there was a manager or supervisor I can speak with and she simply said NO….After a couple of choice words I hung up. I decided I would wait a day and try again.   I think I was madder of the fact that I didn’t get her name 😀.

Thursday, March 16th:  I made a doctors appointment with my regular family doctor.  I’ve had a mark on my right cheek since December.  The doctor had given me some cream to treat it but it is still flaring up and gets warm to the touch.  Dr. Wang is wondering if it’s related to the cancer and so has referred me to a specialist, a plastic surgeon since it is on my face.  Also my right ear has been feeling like it is plugged all the time… ear looks perfect… should hear from specialist within a week to 10 days.  This little picture is a cute bracelet I picked up through Avon.  I used to have this on my work email signature.

 

 

 

Friday, March 17th… St. Patrick’s Day….Move day:

 

Here we go – move day”…. Both Debbie and Patricia came over with their vans to load up.  Jake’s dad John also came and brought a trailer to load a lot of the smaller stuff.  Movers arrive at 10am… this was a bit of a hard day as I was feeling quite nauseous and so unhelpful…. 😕.   At around noon Debbie suggested I go to her house in Ladner and try to rest before movers made their way to Tsawwassen.  We stayed there til about 2:30pm, and I think I fell asleep before my head hit the pillow.

My cousin Maria joined us in Tsawwassen to help do some unloading.  Thank you to John, Debbie, Patricia, and Maria for your help. What a long long long day… movers left our house at 6pm.

Saturday and Sunday consisted of going back and forth to the old house, getting more of the smaller items. There is light at the end of the tunnel, I can see it, we are almost there.  Next to sort out cleaning of the old house and giving keys back at the end of the month.  Also will be requesting my security deposit back as the house is in great shape, just the usual wear and tear.

 

At at this time I would like to express my love and gratitude to all of you who have made contributions to the GoFundMe💋💋😘😍💓💖❤️💙.

I am forever grateful to each and every one of you…. there are so many things to say but please know how much each and everyone of you have filled my heart with tears of happiness and joy…. thank you for just being a part of my life….

Of course this all reminds me of a song from my favourite artist ROD STEWART…. “Have I told you lately that I love you”…. please if you get a chance go on YouTube and have a listen. I listen to it every night – it is such a beautiful song.

Lyrics and I dedicate this to ALL of you 😍😘💋:

Have I told you lately that I love You?

Have I told you there’s no one else above you?

Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness

Ease my troubles, that’s what you do.

 

For the morning sun and all it’s glory

Meets the day with hope and comfort too

You fill my life with laughter, somehow you make it better

Ease my troubles that’s what you do.

 

There’s a love less defined

And it’s yours and it’s mine

Like the sun

And at the end of the day

We should give thanks and pray

To the one, to the one

 

Have I told you lately that I love you?

Have I told you there’s no one else above you?

Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness

Ease my troubles, that’s what you do.

 

Until the next update …… 💋😘😍
