The Road Before & After Surgery
December 22, 2011
A Jug Of Dynamite Before The Holidays!
Mood:  don't ask
Now Playing: Day 615-The Final Road To Survival

Nothing quite like knocking three inches off your waist and the rest of important fluids out of your body a few days before Xmas! At least my holiday "To Do" list is slowly being crossed off one activity and chore at a time. Even though I have treatment today I still have things that need to be done. Of course things that can be accomplished while being stuck in the house. Same goes for tomorrow because anymore after doing treatments it takes me a full 48 hours to start rebounding. Some say I might be crossing a fine line since Xmas Eve is Saturday and today is Thursday. Although that might be true you still can't predict Gastroparesis. I could be feeling fine one hour then get knocked back down again the next.

I am still re-thinking strategy when it comes to my never ending hair loss. When I took a shower today I had to once again clean the shower out, shower drain and then vacuum the floor. Once I used some leave in condition I found myself vacuuming again. Sigh...Needless to say I might be literally ringing in the New Year minus my hair.

Thank goodness my friend has the next two days off of work. At least I don't have to worry about the dizzy spells I get after doing treatment nor the endless bathroom trips using my cane because I am too unstable without it. I don't care what anyone says but being an independent gal is nice but being sick and alone just doesn't work. There is nothing more reassuring than knowing you have help. Amen.

The only thing left on my holiday list to do is making a second batch of Buckeyes that I finished up this evening and going to our local Zoo festival of lights display. Maybe after this weekend the weather will finally cooperate enough to go but until then at least I have some rolled Buckeyes to finish up occupying my time being home-bound again.

CHEERS! TO ACCOMPLISHMENTS!
