Nervous, Start Chemo tomorrow





Well, sort of nervous tonight. I start chemo tomorrow. Will be there for over 6 hours. Just hoping I don't have an kind of allergic reactions. Been trying to keep busy this week. the days are flying by. Only 11 more days till my next show. Not enough made. I got my keep busy bag all packed, and hope to get some of Samantha's new stitchery patterns stitched up for her tomorrow. Kind of hard to take and my dolls and stuff and stitch.



I have a big stack of unfinished items, I will be sharing with you later on this week. I finished up this snowman hat. Wasn't sure if I liked it or not, while I was making it. But after I put it all together, I loved it. It is a pattern by Old Road Primitives

My friend Becky and her hubby Steve came by the other night. He gave me some info on Chemo and what to expect. He was a lot of help. He's taken the same drug they are going to give me tomorrow.



Becky made me some covers for my seatbelt, so it doesn't rub my shoulder, where my port is put in. She made one in a florida gator color, and said Samantha can't have it. My daughter is a big gator fan. So have to hide this one from her.



Becky also brought me some raw brocoli (can't spell) and some Marie Calendar's blue cheese dressing and said try it. I don't like brocoli, but want to eat healthier, so I tried it and have to say I liked it raw with the salad dressing. Trying to eat more fruits and green vegetables.






I want to thank everyone again for your emails and good thoughts. It means a lot to me. I miss my mom and dad so much. I really need them at this time in my life. Dont' 'have any other close relatives anymore. Just hubby and Samantha. Need my mom, I guess you don't ever grow out of that feeling. Seems strange, I am making contact with several people who I used to hang out with in my daughter's middle school years. We all lost contact and now finding each other again. So hoping to get alot more active and do more. I am kind of hermit, love my alone time and being a homebody.


I am adding some patterns to the You are special site in epattern form, they are the older ones, but have had alot of request for them lately.

  3. Sending lots of love and support your way Sandy, hope everything goes well tomorrow and that you sail through these chemo treatments. So glad you have someone to talk to who has been through the same thing; it helps a lot to be able to ask those questions we're afraid to ask anyone else. Take care of yourself and take it slow and try and rest when you can. Big hugs, Deb

  18. Hi Sandi,

    I wanted to thank you for giving Old Road Primitives credit for your little creations (the Old Thyme Mitten & Snowman Hat)! They are adorable!

    I also wanted to let you know that I'm keeping you in my prayers! I wish that your parents could be there for you but glad to hear that you are reconnecting with old friends because that is important! Also, while going through your treatments don't forget to take care of yourself (through nutrition, exercise and stress reduction)! Some times we forget to take care of ourselves!

    Hugs & Prayers!

  27. Things will go great for you tomorrow as well as for all the rest of your treatments. With this fabulous group in your corner and excellent docs and meds, you can't lose. My husband went through that same treatment regime, and it got a little rough towards the end, but the final results are worth it! He is healthy, and you will be, too! Hugs and prayers for you.

  30. It appears you have many friends who are concerned, wishing you well, and sending prayers your way. Hope all goes well! You are in my thoughts and prayers as well. Keeping busy helps keep your mind occupied...and I can't imagine you being any other way. Brussel sprouts are a great source of vitamin C and vitamin K....just one sprout boiled...has 22% vitamin C and 37% vitamin K!! I love them with butter and garlic. Take Care!

  35. God bless you on this journey. My 18 yr. old is a cancer survivor, so we've been though the chemo thing. I don't know how you have the energy that you do!
    I'm not going through chemo and I get wore out just doing daily stuff. :)
    Will keep you in prayer. I LOVE your work!
