Sleepless in Southeastern Massachusetts

I was recently reminded by my mother that I was born at 3:02 a.m. in the morning. Know wonder I seem to be up at that time so frequently. I'm reliving my youth (birth?)

I have to laugh when some of you comment, "I've checked your blog recently, no updates". Well......... Here's an update for you blog people:

Updates: I saw my surgeon Dr. Michelle Specht at Mass General Hospital on Friday.(Young, vibrant,intelligent, great bedside manner, 30 something female). Having a consultation with her once again only reiterated my confidence in her to take good care of me. Surgery is slated for the end of May, early June. Specific date to follow.

My very last 5 hour Chemo infusion is on April 30th. I think I'll bring party hats and baloons that day!!!!!!! The week after after that is another one hour infusion and the week following that is my very official very last (any hour) infusion. Surgery and radiation to follow. Radiation will be 6 weeks long Monday thru Friday. Yes, you heard me right. Every single day for 6 weeks. Yuck!!!! Glen's going to have his hands full making me laugh in that time frame. (Hey, it's 3:02 a.m. exactly)!!

Don't forget to check out the You Tubes that My Alex has added to this blog.(Thank you my Alex, I do appreciate and love you very much)! One is of my little Alex Jr"s. year in review and the other is My Arielle and Brent singing as a duo at a pub.

Again, I challenge you to comment on my blog. If you are technilogically challenged like me, you can always leave me a message on the old-fashioned e=mail. I went from a whopping 0 comments to 5 last time. Can we break the record this time. I'd like to think so. You can do it. I have faith in you!!!!!

  9. Hi Theresa,
    What a way to start the day, a personal greeting tree! You and Glen definitely its source of sunshine.
    We're so glad the meeting with your surgeon went well. It's so important to like and trust your doctor and it sounds like a good match. I bet she went home and told her family of the incredible woman she met, telling of your smile,infinite zest for life, and determination. These are traits that are so apparent to all who meet you.
    We just want to say thank you to your family for sharing such great pictures and entertainment from the next generation.
    Much love,
    Anne and Scott

  10. Thought I would try and post a comment on my own blog. O.K., so I want to see 10 comments, is that so wrong?????

    Thank you all for breaking the record. We went from 0 comments (depressing) to 5 comments to a whopping 10. 10 of course thanks to me. Why else would I comment on my own blog. (I know, why am I up at 2:30 a.m. commenting on my own blog??)

    Thank you again, everyone brave enough to take the time to post a comment on my blog!!!! I am forever grateful, Tree

  11. Hi Theresa,

    I know I already posted to your blog, but I was thinking of you and thought I'd just send a quick line or two. I hope you are enjoying this beautiful weather, watching the rebirth of all the flowers that have slept for so long. I can't help but think that is what you'll be like in June, when all of this starts to fade behind you, probably hard to picture now, but you'll get there and then you'll blossom like a new flower as well. Enjoy your day.
    Anne
