Road trip!

My counts were good today and the oncologist gave me the approval to get away for a few days:)

With that being said we had great difficulty finding a place to go with my limitations.  We need to make sure we stop often on the trip because of my arms, I cannot be out in the heat for long, no sun and golf for Rick.  Whew...try googling all of that for a place to stay!  We decided to go back to French Lick, IN.  It has rocking chairs on the porch, golf and a casino for Rick and plenty of places to explore.  Unfortunately our first stop tomorrow will be back in my hometown of Washington, MO.  We will attend the visitation of the dear nurse that took care of my parents.  She lost her battle with cancer on Saturday.  After this stop and a visit with Karmen we will be on our way.  We will return on Saturday.  Another exciting time for me.

This weekend was terrific.  Being with family is always the best medicine.  I loved having the girls spend the night Sunday and the day Monday.  Although I was tired Monday night I felt wonderful.  I have no idea of what my counts are going to be on the next 12 weeks of chemo so I don't know how much I will be able to be around my Petrie dishes.  So loved having this time.

Again thanks to all of you that have signed up to do the race or made a donation.  I still get very emotional thinking of this event.  I have been giving Stacy your email addresses as you sign up so she will be in touch with you about packet pick up and any other details for the morning.

I probably won't post anything until we get back.  Have a good week...I know I will!
