Speaking of which, we still haven't seen Star Wars. We're planning on going to a cushy theater in the next few weeks if anyone wants to join us. Now, on to the business at hand. The cancer has been defined as a high grade papillary cerous ovarian cancer. There was evidence of cancer in both … Continue reading Phase II: The Force Awakens

Home Sweet Home
SO. HAPPY. It feels so good to be home. My stomach is still a little wonky, so drinking Ensure. Last night's sleep was a little rough due to more cramping and back pain.

As long as I don't experience nausea and vomiting, we're good. It's just going to take time. The bowels freeze when they … Continue reading The Waiting Continues…
All I want for Christmas…
... is to fart. That's what's holding everything up. Ugh. Send tooting vibes today. Update 12/26/15 8:00am - still no toots. Will be talking with the doc to determine plan of action since I'm now losing weight. The IV can only provide so much.
These Boots Are Made For Walkin’…
'Walking and sleeping' was the theme for today in spite of waking with a fever of 102.2. This was due to a condition called atelectasis, where the lungs don't quite expand enough after surgery and cause the immune system to react. She used her little breathing device every time after five walks today (the last … Continue reading These Boots Are Made For Walkin’…
