Hi everybody - I'm back on the internet after weeks being away. I hope to read some posts but for now I just wanted to bring you up to date on me. We had a couple of good weeks at the shore with DD and family - then BIL and SIL came too - which was all nice. But I was getting more and more exhausted - couldn't get down to the beach - didn't get in the water at all - big disappointment. So - by the 3rd week I was ready to come home and see my Dr. - which we did. He put me in the hospital - my red blood count was dangerously low - so had 2 transfusions. Then I had a whole battery of tests - done most efficiently in the hospital instead of being home and running from lab to lab; I had CT scans, MRIs, Xrays. Doppler tests on my legs - etc etc. So - now I need more radiation treatments on my back - a new lump is causing trouble - that should start the end of this week - will go daily for about 3 weeks. So - I'm trying to absorb all this and adjust to my new abilities. I look forward to catching up with all of you - hoping you have had a good month with no problems. Will check in again soon. Rosemary

Hello Rosemary,


It is good to see you dropping by again. I am sorry that your vacation wasn't all good, but I feel sure that you enjoyed having your DD and family's visit. Good your SIL and BIL were able to visit with you all too.

Hi Rosemary--so good to see your post. I hope your treatments are going smoothly and that you regain you are feeling more like yourself soon. I love reading about your visits to the Jersey shore--i grew up in southern NJ and loved to vist the sandy shore there--it feels like silk, so when i picture you there it brings back fun memories for me--thanks!!
Hugs,
