Laughter is the Best Medicine

It was a great Easter at my mom and dads and we as always had many laughs. I do love that about my family. My mom and dad and brother have a great sense of humor. Jason and I love to laugh and tease each other. My kids are funny and can laugh and they make me laugh! We played scrabble, me, Jason, Rayanne, and Dad. We are all quite competitive so it is a good laugh, I had a considerable lead, after using all seven tiles and coming up with the word lingered. I got 14 for the word and 50 bonus points for using all my tiles...I had left everyone in the dust! Well should never get too cocky or ever count Gary out, at one point I even helped him with a word--that he got 39 points! It started from Jason's word Pow-Ray added to it, made the word power..it turn into empower to empowered!!! Needless to say Gary won the game by 10 points! Good laughs and fun were had by all...

The treasure hunt for the kids was fun and Jason kicked in a 50$ I tunes card into one of the many eggs that the kids were hunting for, and Tanner found it, so he was pretty proud!

I have had a busy week my half cast is off and I have a splint, it's coming along, I have to do exercises for my wrist 5 times a day, and thought they were easy until Jason showed me I was doing most of them wrong:(!)
It kills the nights after the exercise but in the day its manageable.

Am back on chemo after a month off, and continue shrinking those tumor cells as I write!

We are planning a road trip to Texas and Phoenix in July and a few states along the way....I can't wait, I am so excited, I am so ready to have some down time, some fun-time it will be wonderful!

I had asked the nurse if she thought that if we shrink the tumors enough that surgery is possible, she had said very unlikely, because I have too many of them, but as long as we keep finding medication that keeps the tumors from growing , it will give me time, to live and enjoy life...she said live your life that is your focus right now not finding a cure but living with your cancer, managing your symptoms, and finding the joy in every day.

That's the plan...today is a gift, I am taking the kids overnight to the mall and enjoying the mini disneyland at WEM! Good Times, I am looking very forward to our time together.

Life is good, count your blessings as I tell my kids often, as there are many...it could always be worse :)

Peace Out!!
