Happy Saturday Reader’s!
It looks like a nice day out here from my hospital window. I hope it is nice where you are. My 3rd chemo ended around 11:30pm last night. I was able to get a few hours of sleep before I was waken up at 2am and then again 4am. I think the doctor on rounds came in around 6:30 but I wasn’t really awake when she spoke to me. I then fell back asleep till the phone rang. Wrong number. Nice. It was 8:45am and my chemo was due to begin at 9am so I just stayed up. I then noticed My Man was gone. Seconds later I got a text from him asking what I wanted for breakfast from Rita’s Bluebird Dinner. Yummy! I gave him my order and 15 minutes later I was in heaven!
My chemo went well. I have two more cycles to go through. People ask how I am feeling. I am tired, run down. My brain isn’t working at full speed. You may have noticed while reading the past few blogs. Chemo brain, that’s what I got. I also get a tingling feeling at times but no numbness. And I pee, a lot. Which is a good thing but annoying. Good news is that my white blood cell counts went up yesterday! Woot! Woot! Very happy to hear that.
Today we are watching football. Can’t find the Alabama game on the TV here but are getting updates. doesn’t seem like much of a game anyway. RTR! We are watching Michigan State. They need to get their game on in the second quarter!
The Boy, my Mom and my Dad came down for a visit. The Boy went to piano and guitar this morning and my dad picked up some items for the coop/run. They have been having to put Turbo and Poppy on the ramp at night, so that they would walk up into the coop. My dad thinks part of the problem is that they can see their old coop and want to get into it. So this morning he and The Boy moved it so that they couldn’t see it anymore. They are having no problem coming out in the morning. My dad and I think it will just take a few days for them to figure this out. In the meantime, we will help them out. My dad and The Boy also moved some dirt into the run to make a dirt bath for the girls. He said they went straight to it and had a blast.
Not too much else going on here. Just ate my lunch of chicken salad with crackers and cheese and an apple. I bought all of it on Wednesday to bring in to the hospital. I have ordered only one thing from dinning, orange juice. And yes, it tasted terrible! WTH? It is orange juice! I couldn’t even finish it.
Have a wonderful day Reader’s! Enjoy!
Raining here. Dee’s parents about to visit. Should be fun! Keep Reachin’

Raked dirt in the chicken coop and fed them. Pannie and SImon are out in the porch just chilling. Timber and I played ball unfortunately one ball is in the neighbors yard I think he should ask his Christmas Elf for Two dozen balls. Dad and I thought you looked better then yesterday Take more naps, there is nothing in the hospital you need to take of. Love you lots Momee
Good ole chemo brain..word games of all kinds will help with that…. We have been having cloudy, muggy yucky weather up here… Know what you mean about the oj …they tend to serve up that bitter stuff in hospitals…think it’s a cost issue..
I totally get the chemo brain stuff. But clearly, I don’t know much about the life and needs of a chicken. Your girls seem to have made in their luxurious condo. You will need to explain all the aspects of a day in the life of a chicken as we take our stroll to the gift shop!
