HURRAH!

The bedroom












1st....We are finally settled in our 5th wheel! Feels so much better than the hotel and it's ours. We haven't met any of the neighbors yet, but then I haven't been out and about in the park and then Paul gets home so late....maybe at some point.

The River Run RV Park is very clean and quiet. I am happy about that. Lots of little kids but the parents don't let them run wild which is in the rules here. Pets either.....leashed or inside the RV's. I like that too. So many pet owners let their pets run amuck and that's not right. Be responsible I say. It's a new RV Park and has new little trees and nice green lots and when it's older it'll be really beautiful. There are 3 laundry areas with 5-6 washers and 5 dryers in each and also nice showers for anyone that doesn't have a shower in their RV or it's broken. There is a gym and a pool too. The office has a little grocery store in it with limited items (like ice cream and ice) but still it's handy.

2nd.....I had my last chemo Wednesday and am so glad. I have to continue with the daily shots for 10 more days to bring my blood count back up. It was barely normal before my last chemo so that wasn't really good. But I think that was because it was so low with the treatment before, because of our trip back to MN (I didn't have shots during that time and my blood count was low to begin with, yet they gave me the treatment anyway, making my blood count plummet even lower). So now my bone marrow has to work all the harder to get back to normal. But it will.

I am losing my eyelashes now....darn it, I was hoping I would be keeping them, but they too will grow back soon...and my bald head will soon be covered too. I can't wait to see what it'll be like and what color.

I see my Dr. on the 17th and then find out when the radiation will be starting. What fun! 6-8 weeks of that...4-5 days a week, depending on how my skin reacts depends on how long the radiation treatments last. I haven't been out in the sun in about 30 years....and being so sensitive to the sun, Dr. thinks maybe I will have to cut down on the days of treatment, which will extend the weeks. Oh well... just to get it done...right? LOL

I love the sun and warmth of CA. It's been windy the last few days, but at least it's not rainy and cold.

I joined a Bunco Group and a Scrapbooking Group. There needs to be 12 people in the Bunco Group and so far we don't have that many want to join, but there is still time. The Scrapbooking Group is being started by my friend Julie (they just moved here so her hubby is now working with my hubby...they worked together on a project in San Jose in 2002).....I will learn a lot from her, I can tell already. As much as I love pictures, I should be putting them in beautiful albums, right? and on my walls at home....thought about putting pictures going down the stairs to the basement. That would look terrific.

Well you all have a great weekend and thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers. You are part of my recovery you know.

The new 'house' looks fabulous!! I can't wait to see it in person.

Bunco is still on for tomorrow evening at 7. Still going? I am. Want me to pick you up or the other way around? Talk to you then!!!

Nice to see the pictures of the camper. So glad y'all finally got it out there. Definitely beats staying in a hotel. I'm really glad we got ours.
