New Crap

Well for the last week or so, i have been dealing with a "sick" eye. I found out that the Taxol can cause certain areas to dry up and my nose and eye are part of it. Today i am writing to you with one eye shut because it is so swollen even the ointment i have been using isn't helping. It is difficult enough not to have hair and have my skin wrecked, but now i look like the one eyed bandit. Enough already!!!

Hi Laura! I know we haven't been in touch, but I think of you often! I've even been dreaming of you lately! I so admire your courage, your sense of humor, and your never ending stength! You rock! If you need anything, please let me know! I can be over in a jiffy! I have another month off before school starts and I can always come hang by the pool with you! I can be your "good eye!"

Hang in there. Thinking of you all the time - wish I lived right around the corner. I hope your eye is better soon. Glad to hear they are giving upgrades with the surjury. Gavin is getting so big. I can't wait for you to be able to have a Margarita!!!!

Laura,
I am friends with Travis (from days at Niles Bolton) and he has told me so much about you. I am in awe of your accomplisments prior to your "personal marathon" and I just want you to know I think you are amazing. You are dealing with this with such grace and courage. You inspire me. You stay in our thoughts and prayers! We'll keep checking back to see how GREAT you are doing! (it's says Al but it's his wife Stacey Hovis)

Oh, sweetie, I am so sorry. You just didn't need any thing else to deal with...I am trying hard to think of an up side...I guess that with each "new crap" it diatracts from all the other crap. I know you are getting tired of dealing but you are getting closer and closer to the end of your chemo treatments. I think of you all the time, as well as Travis and the kids.
Love you...
