Shortly after our party, the front office called and I had a birthday delivery. An absolutely breathtaking bouquet of pink roses from my long time friend and co-worker, Debbie. I am still blown away at how beautiful these flowers were and continue to be. (photo below)
Additionally, I received many cards, emails and gifts including a great lunch of goodies provided by the English Department, primarily Tara! Thanks guys. You make this cancer thing SOOOOOOOOO much easier on a daily basis!!
At home, I got gifts from my family including adorable salt/pepper shakers that Polley got for me in Arkansas last weekend. Evan had several things for me including a new Kenny Chesney CD that I'd been wanting. Sam said he didn't get anything for me. He said, "I just give you my love." I even got a hug from him!!!!
I spoke on the phone (two different lines at the same time) with JIll and Dustin....that was an experience....always great to talk with them!
We then went to my mom and dad's for a family gathering of Lyn's cake and blue bell ice cream! More gifts followed including special chemo patient moisturizing lotion, etc....Merle Norman cosmetics and a necklace that Missy had made for me.
And, today, I got a card in the mail from Dustin (Nashville) ...a singing card playing "Sweet Home Alabama".....one of my ALL time favorite songs... (don't ask me why because I do not know why it's a fav)
Sadly, the birthday is over and another big round of Chemo tomorrow. Even though I fared much better during and after round two I'm still very skeptical about this............even if I don't feel really sick, I sure don't feel normal.........oh, well, after another week, normal starts to return, so not too bad!!
Happy Veteran's Day.
