Day 15- Today's going to be a good day...

Even though mom get's chemo today, we're making it a good day.  Sometimes it helps instead of thinking ... I hope today is a good day... to think... I'm making today a good day.  The power of positive thinking is greater than we know.   Chemo isn't until 5, and she gets anti-nausea meds before hand, so it should be rather uneventful.  The chemo is a bittersweet thing.. I know it's helping to cure mom, even though it's killing everything in it's path.. it still hasn't taken her hair!!!  (FREEDOM!!!)

We've already eaten a delicious breakfast.. I know I keep saying it.. but I've never seen mom eat so much in my life.. she's had coffee, hot cocoa, mandarin oranges, oatmeal with brown sugar, scrambled eggs with cheese, bacon, an english muffin and the yogurt she uses to wash down her pills!  I mean.. isn't that alot?!  She's going to pass on the stewed prunes this morning... thank god..  um.. I was wrong.. she's having them too.  She hasn't lost any weight yet, not even 1 pound!!

Sheila is in here.. she's so great.  She's answered mom's 1000 questions already, including.. what about snowstorms.. mom's so worried about the winter out here.  She's also wondering what the Hope House looks like, if she has to share a bathroom (really worried about that one) and how sanitary it is over there.  One of these days i'm going to have to go to take pictures and ease her mind!!

Here's Sheila.. mom just loves her! 

There is a farmers market set up right out our window, it's from 11-2, so I'm going to run down and check that out later.. I don't know what mom will be able to have, but I'll get the nurses some cookies for taking such good care of us out here.  And, I heard they have a homemade dog treat stand, so I know sanchnloo will be soda excited!  Mom really wants some corn on the cob.. she's trying to convince the nurse, the doctor and the dietician that we should be able to either bring fresh corn and have them cook it in the cafeteria or have someone cook it at home, cut it from the cob, freeze it and then microwave it out here.. with a couple slices of Oscugnizzo's pizza.. oh and some Golden Corral tempura shrimp.  There must be one out here because the commercial is on about every 10 minutes.. and she thinks it looks sooooo good!  She told everyone on skype last night that the first place she wants to go is to OK Corral.. but she meant Golden Corral..

We've been keeping up with all the food network shows.. the New Jersey Housewives and of course.. the Kardashians.. mom loves that crap.  I think it makes her feel normal and thankful! 

We haven't read very many magazines because it's hard to read when you're "resting your eyes" as much as mom likes to.. I'm going to get her to go through some of them so I can take them back home.. we do have way too much stuff out here!  She's trying to get recipes together for when she gets home..

QVC or HSN has a sewing machine on today's special value.. and it's making her nuts to not order it!  she keeps changing the channel to see if they're almost sold out.. I'm actually surprised she hasn't ordered anything yet.. I mean she has only a few things to do out here.. eat.. sleep.. read/watch tv and get on the computer.. seems like dad should have boxes being delivered everyday!!  Closer to Christmas I bet that will be the case!  ;)

oh great.. now a long john silver's commercial... someone get this woman a peice of shrimp!!!  hahah. 

Well, we're going to get working on some thank you notes and snuggle in for our morning nap before lunch comes.. I do feel like a hobbit. 

We'll chat again after the farmers market! 

love.
