Girl Adrift at Sea

Mar9

When life throws you a curve ball, there’s always hope just around the corner. The seagull tells that she is closer to land and a rescue.

I was going to add a dolphin but couldn’t find my clipart for them.

We sprang forward. Ugh. It means getting food late, chemo pills late. I nearly had a heart attack when I saw I had slept until 7:30, not that I didn’t need it, but it’s the meals and pills situation. The clock on the wall still says an hour earlier so I hope they change that soon. I can’t imagine having to change all the millions of clocks all over the hospital. Wouldn’t atomic clocks be worth it?

Hope you aren’t feeling adrift! Have a fun day!

The Fairy in the Poppies

Mar8

So much stuff is going on, it’s hard to blog at my regular time, first thing in the morning.

It’s foggy here in Houston and my daughter tells me we’re getting another cold front in.

I’m on the 4th day of chemo pills and after the initial day of nausea and high fevers, taking the other pills have been fine. The problem is coordinating meals with taking the pills. No eating an hour before these 2 pills or two hours after, and then you have to eat with this pill, and then no eating an hour before taking the last pill. The last one is easy because I eat dinner early and it has to be taken 12 hours from the first pill that was taken.

So then you have to order your meals, and if you’re late–you’re getting an EKG, and vitals taken, etc and finally can order the meal, everything is thrown off schedule. And sometimes the kitchen sends up food after a half hour, but sometimes an hour and a half later. So it is a real juggling act.

But I’m hopeful that the chemo is working on the cancer and that I will be my usual perky self, even better, since this has gone on for 2 years, once I’m done.

Enjoy your day!!

The Fairy in the Mist

Mar7

What do you think? Is the frog hoping for a kiss???

I have fun creating digital art from digital scrap art. These are from the Art Addicts.

I’ve given away 11 books to nursing staff and they were so thrilled. I’m known as the author on the floor.

One of the nurses said that she knew me, and I said I didn’t know her. I hadn’t met her anywhere, but she just wouldn’t let it go. Somehow she knew be but just couldn’t place where. Then she was at the control station and someone said well she’s an author. Lightbulb went off! She reads my books. Woot!

I told her she could pick of the 3 left if she hadn’t read one of them and autographed her. I told her to bring her other books in and I’d autograph them. She was thrilled and so was I.

That’s when I’m in my happy place.

I have to eat, I never want to, but I take medicines I need to have food on my stomach for.

Have a rewarding day!

The Fairy and the Ladybug

Mar5

Not only does she love strawberries but she also loves ladybugs!

I had some horrifying health news a month ago–my white blood cell count has been declining for 2 years. Word to the wise, if you have results like that, don’t hesitate to go in and make sure you’re okay. I was constantly sick, colds, flu and couldn’t over them, which was another indication something was wrong.

I had a bone marrow biopsy to determine what I had. But the dr wasn’t even going to see me for 6 weeks after I had the biopsy.

I have an aggressive leukemia. And that isn’t enough. I have another leukemia in the bone marrow that doesn’t respond to chemo. I’m getting chemo starting today, 10 days before I would have seen the other doctor. Needless to say, I switched to MD Anderson. They put me on trial and I’ll be here for another 28 days. I’ve already been here 9 days, which is why my blogs have been spotty. With all the tests they run, I just haven’t had time for them.

They say that the AML should be in remission in 28 days, but could be in remission as early as 14 days. So fingers crossed. Once it’s in remission, I need to find a compatible bone marrow donor (DNA) to try and get rid of the rare WM. I will continue to take chemo when I leave the hospital and they’ll do blood draws 3 times a week to make sure the cancer doesn’t come back for the 2nd cycle. It’s all been overwhelming, lots of information overload.

I’m still working on edits on Protecting the White Bear, but I’m having a time coming up with the end. Maybe soon.

Just a tale of caution, don’t put off until tomorrow where your health is concerned. I hope this works. If it doesn’t, they’ll start me on another chemo.

Have a great day!

Wolfish Fun

Thanks to Liz for the great gift! The lighting in the room was kind of challenging so I see where I missed coloring in spots. But it’s a lot of fun. I’ve been working on a polar bear next.

I’m excited about another new release coming out on Mar 11. The Eye of the Wolf!!

Also, Her Wolf for the Holidays, Wolf Takes the Lead, and While the Wolf’s Away will be coming out in audiobook!
