Durable

DEFINITION: (adjective) long lasting.

Don't we think we are Durable? We make ourselves believe we can withstand anything that comes our way... I have not been durable the last few months. I have always been very strong and independent, but with my mom passing, I have been broken and bent and hurt in ways I have never felt before. The least little thing brings her back to me and I break.

We are planning a quick trip to St. Louis this weekend to just get away. We really wanted to bike it up, but it looks like the weather will not allow that. Then, ChemoSabe has been sick the last week. Today they are testing him for walking pneumonia. The last vacation time we planned to St. Louis he had something called a triple bypass.... ha

We have been quite busy with work and things around the house. Had a little birthday party on Friday night for myself.... Well, ChemoSabe did, but I did the cooking. What does that tell ya?

Testing, bone marrow biopsy and other things start happening again on March 18. Our OKC friends have been back for two weeks and we haven't gotten out to see them. ChemoSabe thinks they will bypass the chemo this time, but LOL...

He is still bald and loving it. His hair just didn't come back as fast this time and in a couple of weeks it will all be gone again.

Not much else going on. I apologize for not writing sooner.... I will do better.

Good afternoon and Love -- Pepper.
