Yesterday the lab called and said my CA-125 never did make it to the place where they run the test, so I need to have it re-drawn. Good thing I'm not too worked up about that number, eh? =)
I'm doing better this time around after chemo. I was determined to do virtually nothing for a few days afterward, as I mentioned earlier, and I think it's working. I'm still a bit slow (hmmm, that doesn't sound too flattering, but ah well), but I'm walking outside some already and last time I didn't want to MOVE for 2 solid weeks.
There's also something I want to make sure everyone knows. When I say I'm feeling puny, that's all I mean. I am SO lucky, because I don't get sick, I don't throw up, I don't have headaches, I don't have bone aches, I don't (so far) get the side effects most common with Doxil. All I feel is weak and tired. My heart rate gets out of control, so the least exertion is overwhelming, but if I SIT, well - all is good. =)
Man I hate reading "I" or "me" more than twice in this blog. I shall turn the focus away now, thank goodness.
Here's Tiffany with her dog who loves to ride piggy-back. Can you see how she's smiling? (The dog, I mean.)
And here's a couple from our last wagon-ride. Sure does make you realize how fast our lives have gotten - - It took us an hour to go just a few miles, but it was such a nice, quiet, pleasant hour. Can anyone else come visit soon??
And RAIN!!!!!!!! We got some rain! Real, down-poury, soaking rain! And I could thoroughly enjoy it because Dad didn't have hay down and it was just what he needed for his second cutting. Here we're saving it in buckets for all our plants as our well-water isn't the best:

Fun pictures!!! I especially like the one of Tiffany & her dog...both of them with big smiles! :o) I don't believe I've ever seen a dog do that!! Glad to hear that you are doing better after chemo this time. The wagon ride looks great! Sometime we'll have to come visit! Hugs, ~ Mo
Ooh the wagon ride looks so fun. We are actually getting a good rain tonight too It smells so yummy. We are anxiously awaiting a visit from Shawna and Leilani tommorrow. Aren't we the lucky ones Retha
What a great post! Looked like a great group on the wagon ride. Isn't it great when you get to share things you love with people you love? :) The picture of Tiffany and her dog is SO funny - that dog does not know it is a dog, does it? :) Glad the chemo was a little easier on you this time. Thinking of you tons as your two trips draw closer. Have a good day.
Glad your feeling better! We got invited to go golfing in Riverton, so maybe we could go on a wagon ride too??? Looks like fun! The boys would love it! By the way- our stacker is a MVE! It's been through ALOT of bales and is about worn out, but works really nice in the field. So nice Shawna can be around a little! Great pics!
I heard wonderful things about your wagon rides from one of your most recent visitors! How fun for everyone! Gotta love the rain and I loved the dog/Tiffany pictures too. We're thankful too that these meds have been nicer to you! :) Hang in there! LW
Oooh, Michelle, I love that picture of the rain! It looks just as refreshing as it really was!
Hey Jill - when are you going to be in town here? Yes, you've got to stop and see us!
Hey- we don't actually have any definite plans--- it won't be real soon as we still have 1000 acres of straw to bale. I'll call for sure if we make it! Jill
I enjoyed your last posting....fun pictures. We will be thinking of you as you check with the specialists. We hope all goes well. Linda
