Gorgeous Day in Colorado

What a gorgeous day yesterday in Colorado. It was 80 degrees. I spent the day down at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center getting my stents replaced. The stents allow the bile to drain so I don't turn yellow and have pain. They said the tumor appeared improved from February. My next stent replacement is in 10 weeks. I feel okay today, but my throat hurts from the tubes. I found ice cream helps it feel better, so I think I am going to need to have ice cream for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

This is my week off of chemo. I did have bloodwork done. It showed my blood counts were low. They should be back up for next Tuesday when my next chemo is scheduled. The low counts make me feel very tired. So I have been spending alot of time in bed with my laptop.

We had a great prayer circle on Monday. I felt uplifted. I feel truly blessed by their prayers and presence. I would also like to thank all of the prayer warriors out there praying for me across the world.

Today I had a visit from my friend Maria and her almost 3 year old daughter Melina. It was fun playing Aunt Michelle. Kelly has a little doll bed and buggy that originally belonged to Bill's Mom. I had made a little mattress, pillow and blanket for the bed and the buggy when Kelly was little. Melina loved them. She put the stuffed animals to bed and then put them in the buggy. She would put the mattress, pillow and blanket on top of them and wheel the buggy around. Then take them out and put them back to bed. We also played with some blocks building a building a tower and then knocking them down. It has been a long time since I got to play like that. It made me feel young. I don't know how Maria keeps up with her.

Have a peaceful week.
Michelle
