Okay so I'm out of the hospital after an unplanned and unexpected stay. Trying hard to believe that Cancer does not control my life, but it does. I got sick from the chemo while at home and this is a first. Had blood counts drop and fever go up and general not feeling good happen. Six days in hospital with transfusions and IV antibiotics . I had my laptop and a huge room but no cell phone coverage and no view. I also was so unprepared I had no clothes or toiletries or most important FOOD ! Thanks Sally, John, Barb and Kurt for the emergency provisions. I won't bore you with the bad hospital food stories, I will say that one night they served green meat, literally. I mostly just looked at it and had some protein bars, cheese and rice cakes , chicken Marsala from TJ's and yogurt.
Now that I'm home I'm eating as much as is pick able from the garden. Lots of fresh basil , some tomatoes, peppers,cucumbers, string beans and squash blossoms, since that's about all I'm getting from my zucchini. I have a wild squash plant which is taking over and it appears to be some type of swan guord, looks ornamental which is cool. The garden became jungle like while I was gone so I'm making some feeble attempts to train it. I'm not quite up to eloquence so this posting is just an update to let you know I appreciate all the support particularly cards, e-mail and facebook messages. Phone calls not so much since I never know how well I'll feel. Write me a comment.
See you soon XOXO Nancy Photo is me in a dance studio 1979
