You know, sometimes things just seem to go into a "limbo" mode for a while, and that pretty well describes where I've been for about three weeks. I seem to have been TOTALLY exhausted when I got home from school, and as soon as I sat down, I was off in "snooze land." Don't know if I can blame this on the Cyberknife, or not. The doctors at Sinai told me that radiation does make you "mildly fatigued," but I would put my fatigue after a day at work in the "tremendously fatigued" category. Clint has been fortunate to get a few sentences out of me before I've been off in dream land. But, with the time change today, I can already tell that the sunlight in the evening will give me a little extra boost of energy. At least, I hope so.
Take a look at the photo. Look closely and you'll notice it's a coconut. Two of my wonderful "nutty" friends took a quick vacation to Florida over President's Day weekend, and they MAILED (yes, US MAIL) the coconut to me. The "return address" said, "From 2 nuts, to 1 nut. " So true! But, what fun we had, the day the coconut arrived at school. It was really just a bit like being in Florida myself.
Since the first week that my friends at Spring Ridge Elementary School and my friends throughout the Frederick County Public Schools system found out I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in February of 2006, I've been blessed repeatedly... again, and again... with friends who have helped me know that I am loved and prayed and cared for. That my two buddies took the time to discover the coconut, concoct the idea, and find a post office that would "post" it (be sure and look closely at the stamp held on with staples)... this meant so much to me. Thanks, Donna and Betsy! And, thanks to all of you who continue to email me, send cards, ask how I'm doing, and listen when I tell you! You are an amazing lifeline to me!
