Is it Saturday yet?

Thought I was only going to blog once a week (Saturday) but here I am again already. Blood draw today. Interestingly, they flush the port each time they draw blood or put in chemo (and they do it at least twice each visit. I told the nurse again today to be sure and try to leave me some of that red liquid stuff instead of taking it all; but, she didn't listen. The liquid they use to flush the port sends an instant bitter, nasty taste to your mouth and nothing seems to stop it. I thought about the couple of times I tried to wash someone's mouth out with soap and I just want to say - I'm sorry!!!! And, it is true what my dad used to say - what goes around, comes around! Walked with Ruby pulling me along - even managed to take in a little of the Canyon County Fair; couldn't have done it without her. One thing i really like about Ruby is that she forces me to stand up straight which helps my spine feel better after walking straight for a while. I wonder if I can figure out how to take Ruby to bed with me so that my spine won't hurt when I am trying to sleep?! Life is really good today and actually is everyday. Remember to take some time to be grateful in whatever way you chose. I love you all - MOM
