THE BIG SHOW
I love thanksgiving, it is actually my favorite holiday, event more so than Christmas. So, needless to say, I was hopeful that because my last treatment of the AC was to be the week before Thanksgiving, I figured I would be in pretty good shape for the the big show. The day before, I spent the majority of the day baking pies, cutting veggies and even cleaned house. I woke on Thanksgiving morning feeling about as well as can be expected, a little tired, a little nauseous. My mother in law sent me an Edible arrangement of fruit, so we made that and some homemade cranberry bread our breakfast. Brady and I sat in front of the TV and started watching the parade and I got up periodically to work on the dishes for dinner. All seemed to going well and I was looking forward to eating this glorious meal. The meal, contrary to all past years, was just okay. It was actually not up to my high standards and was disappointing. Besides the food not coming out how I would have liked, everything tasted like crud thanks to the chemo. We ate and cleaned up and relaxed for a bit, then things went south really fast. At about 6pm I started feeling VERY sick. I had about a two hour episode of everything you can imagine (that's all I will say on that) and was done for the rest of the night. At about 9pm the doorbell rang...........Brady shouted up to me, "Mom, its Miss Heather", what??? Yep, my good friend Heather and her family were in town from Merritt Island for dinner with her husbands family and decided to stop by. I hobbled out of bed and went downstairs, I really wanted to see her. Ten minutes was all I could take, so I bid my farewell and went back to bed, it was soooo good to see her.
