Happy Easter

Happy Easter to you All.

Seems way to early for Easter this year though, and definitely too much snow for Easter!!
Mike and I were at the Southlake Regional Hotel (Hosp. for those of you not familiar with Newmarket) from about 9:00 p.m. Friday night until 8:00 a.m. Sat. as I was having severe stomach pain. They don't really know what caused it but finally gave me some pain medication at about 1:00 a.m. and that helped and I seem much better today. I had a new medication on Thursday so perhaps that had something to do with it.
We had a lovely turkey dinner Sat. night with some of our family (my kids and Mom and Bette and Glen). Fortunately we had leftovers so get to do it again tonight - just Mike and I though. Mike's parent's and kids are coming for dinner tomorrow so MORE food!! I'm so glad I haven't lost my appetite.
Hope you all had a good Easter Weekend.

Finally, an Update

Hi Everyone (especially those of you who have been wondering why I haven't updated my blog).

I really don't have an excuse. I didn't realize it has been so long since I last posted anything - time sure flies when you're having a good time.

Really, no news is good news in this case. I am now half way through this session of chemo - just 15 weeks to go if all goes well. (then another 72 weeks after that but they drop a couple of the drugs I'm currently getting). I have about a week to 10 days of not feeling well out of every three weeks so that isn't too bad. My legs are getting stronger and I'm able to head out shopping or running errands for about an hour at a time. I'm able to cook an do some cleaning so that keeps Mike happy.
I just started on the tread-mill again - managed a few minutes at 1.5 mph (didn't even break a sweat!!) Looks like I have a lot of training ahead of me to be able to manage 9 holes of golf this summer.

Laura will be home this weekend, then heads to Guelph next week for work so we'll be looking after Molson. He's pretty much a couch potato now so he and I will get along just fine - hope he'll enjoy watching the Brier all next week with me!!

Looking forward to spring!!!!
Janet
