On another note!

Hello friends, 


I am super excited as I write this because I just bought us a Serta 4" Memory Foam Mattress Topper!  I have been in so much pain over the past week or so, that I haven't been able to sleep; so I finally made an attempt to fix the problem!  


I am so excited that I can hardly wait!  They say that you should air it out for a few days before using... but if I have to wear a gas mask to bed, I'll be laying on that thing as soon as it arrives!  It was a pretty great deal too; hopefully I agree with the rave reviews.  I hope that Brad and the pups like it too!  I'll keep you posted.


I didn't think that my last post was as depressing as the one before it; but apparently others did.  I received quite a few concerned emails and phone calls afterwards asking if I was okay... ooops.  Sorry.  


Let me make one thing very clear.  I made a decision in the beginning of writing this blog to be very open about what was happening through my diagnosis and treatment.  Sometimes I do get really upset about what is going on; but never have I ever doubted the amazing gift that is being on this earth.  I would never take that for granted.  No matter how difficult some things may be to get through, I know that I will.  So no looking for me up at the top of buildings after you read a post; I'm okay!  


I do thank everyone for their concern though, and of course for all of the support and prayers.  I know that when this is all behind me that it will not have been a battle won alone.


On another note, I work from home now!  I have been for about a month already, but this accommodation was officially approved for me last week <deep relieving exhale>.  I'm getting used to it; a little lonely at times, but I am a machine!  I have settled into being this like, SUPER productive human.  I surprise myself - just whipping through my work, and feeling really good about its quality too!  It's nice to feel that confidence.


So, I just wanted to check in.  Still another month to go until my Mayo appointment.  Just enjoying the beautiful fresh snow, and hanging in there :-)


All my best, 
M
