Day 265 BMT 55

hi everyone!  it's lisa.. i'm here in buffalo filling in for dad and spending some quality time with mom for a few days this week... it's so good to be here.. mom's doing amazing and I love being able to see first hand how far she's progressed since the stem cell transplant. 

we've been doing a little shopping, a little restaurant exploring and a lot of catching up on the real housewives.. I haven't watched them since august when I was out here for the month, and I'm currently caught up on New York, New Jersey, Beverly Hills and Orange County.. oh and I'm back in the loop with Bethenny also.. while I don't always love the way these women act, mom gets a kick out of them, and at the end of every show we're thankful that we're not rich and famous.. or at least that's what we keep telling ourselves! 

mom had an excellent clinic appointment today.. her numbers are exactly where they need to be and she was told today that she only has to come once a week now!  she's super thrilled about that one.. more time for shopping, i think..

she reminded the nurse practitioner today that she's going home for memorial day, so she didn't accidently schedule any appointments for that long weekend.. the NP took it well.. and was happy to see mom's determination. 

k, off to heat up a flax bag, and watch some quality tv.. wonder which housewives are on tonight! 

thanks for reading, praying and sending positive energy our way.  chat soon..


love.

  1. Finally, finally I figured out how to post!! I'm old and slow to learn :) I love all of the wonderful news. You are doing such a great job with all of this torture!! I remember my breast cancer and it was torture but nothing compared to what you've been going thru. I'm so glad you're on the mend and will be home soon. You're daughters and Dave have been wonderful with updates. Sherry's post was fun too. So take care & I'll try to post often now that I know how. Love, Pam Budd

  2. In order to be able to post, I had to post as anonymous. When I've been trying to post, I can't just have my name without a URL and my email didn't work either. I just thought I'd let you know in case others are having trouble too. Pam Budd
