Well lets just say June was a blur for me after they had changed my chemo treatments and frankly that did not go well at all!
I was too weak to lift my legs to walk at all or arms even to type one sentence on a tablet, slept for 16 hour stretches, had all sorts of side effects complicating everything and several trips to ER.
Now again they have changed my chemo treatments after getting my teeth pulled in between everything as the infections from dental were complicating EVERYTHING and am back on track to feeling better and being able to function!
So hopefully I will be able to do some regular posting for July!
Good news is, that we still managed to stay on track with our budget, using extra funds for the many extra trips to the hospital for gas without going over budget or getting behind in bills so happy success there!
I also managed to get a couple things growing in the garden before the chemo induced gout in my toes left me unwalkable! Not a lot but every little bit helps. I hope to get a few quick growing things planted for July though such as green beans, zucchini and mustard greens!
Hope everyone had a wonderful June!
Any plans for July?

Welcome back! It sounds like you've had more adventures than you really wanted, Carrie. But I'm very glad to see that you kept your amazing spirit up through it all. You're an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThankyou Miser Mom, it is good to be back and more feeling like myself! :)
DeleteI suspected you might be having health problems since you hadn't posted as often as usual. Glad to hear you're feeling better now. Getting those teeth out should be a big help.
ReplyDeleteThankyou, although my jaw is starting to swell again even after they pulled my teeth so will have to check on that soon! :)
DeleteGlad you're back! I know of some vegetable stands near you that sell their harvest CHEAP. We can pick you up some stuff if you would like. We will be coming back to the area quite often until the house rents or sells. It would be no problem for me to drop some by. I always get more than I need and would be happy to share. I miss my garden sooooo much. Maybe next year we can put one in. Lots of positive thoughts and well wishes for you and yours.
ReplyDeleteTerri that would be awesome if you could drop some off, you know as long as I have been here now I still have not found the veggie stands? LOL no clue where any are, I would love for you to drop some off and visit with you!
DeleteCarrie, thank you so much for stopping by my blog and leaving your sweet comment! You are so amazing and inspiring, a fighter and an example to so many people! After I read, what you said, I felt all our problems are so little. I'm so happy you are getting better against all of the doctors prognosis, and I wish you all the best and to stay strong and to beat this beast. You are awesome, and I will follow you from now on to cheer you up on your success :) I believe in you! And thank you for your kindness and generosity!! Is there anything I can do for YOU??
ReplyDeleteThankyou Lena, even my problems are tiny in comparison to others out there and I am thankful that it is just a small hurdle to leap over compared to others out there facing far worse but I do know what you mean :) Thanks for stopping by and you got this girl, your frugal ways will carry you through :)
DeleteHey Carrie, Erin here....have been following your blog for awhile. Hang in there and keep fighting- you are so very good at that. Prayers are with you.
ReplyDeleteThank you Erin, hope all has been well with you and yours. :)
