I've been rather busy today. Went to the docs with my son. He'll be undergoing some tests. There is a lump in his throat and it hasn't changed in over a year. More like two to three years. I swear this doc is lazy or something. Anyway, kind of worried about him. Hoping they can figure out what this lump is or at least get him to someone who can shed some light on it. Staying positive that it's something minor and easily fixed! :)

Then I worked on my events for fundraising. I have some links to share with all of you! Keeping the faith that this will pull together and we can get back on track. I can't believe how expensive it is to be sick! The first is a Go Fund Me account. Not sure how much I'll need to pull together for all of this, but needed to put a number in there. Here's the link:  http://www.gofundme.com/m06mas

Next is an event I am hosting with Tupperware. I'm making this a Mystery Host event! That means that one lucky person will be the host! No idea how much you could earn though. That will depend on the amount of the event! Please feel free to share with friends and family. You never know who may need something or be looking for something to be replaced! Here's the link to the Facebook event:  https://www.facebook.com/events/1568479970065634  If you can't make it, you can always contribute by shopping the party link here:  http://bit.ly/FBCancerevent

Thank you for reading along as I share my story. I appreciate each and every one of you!

Here's to a productive and great day tomorrow! Have a wonderful night!

Well, chemo didn't start on Feb 2nd. Once again more obstacles arose. This time with the shower makeover. Sometimes I think that the maintenance where I live is incompetent. They do things so backwards! The contractor ended up breaking the new shower system that was installed and left me with no hot water. :( When I questioned him about the things that were wrong, he replied 'I'm not a plumber, so' Well so, how can somebody do the work if they aren't completely qualified? Really?!

On a brighter  note, I was able to attend my twin grand-daughters birthday party. I actually spent the night before there and helped somewhat with decorations and such. We even surprised my oldest daughter with a birthday cake too! Was a lot of fun and I loved the expression on her face! She had no idea the cake was for her! lol

Now I'm prepping, or at least trying to, for my youngest daughters birthday on the 18th! Hands are busy trying to make her gift! Of course I can only work in spurts due to the pain in my hands, so I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. I really want to finish this project! I'll post a pic of her with it after she sees it. Don't want to spoil the surprise, lol

I've also been trying to eat more solid foods. That's a task if ever there was one! Steak is totally our of the question, lol Pulled pork is quite nice though. The more tender the meat, the easier to eat. Hey, it's better than oatmeal, lol Mashed potatoes and gravy is ok, as long as they are not over spiced. Almost out of applesauce, need to do a store run soon, lol

Today I will be working on a fundraiser. Already have an event set up on Facebook for Tupperware. A friend said I should set up a gofundme account. Haven't done that yet, maybe that's the next step. Would love to find the needed resources to help defer the costs of medications, transportation and my upcoming new diet.

Currently, the choices of paying the bills and funding the treatment costs are staggering. Needless to say, I'm falling behind. That feeling is the worst! I'm about to lose my storage and not sure that I can make my car payment. :( If I lose either, I will be devastated. So fundraising is the only thing I know to so to help myself out of this mess.

I'll post an update later today or tomorrow with links to my events and such :) Wishing you the best for your day! Stay warm! Hugs
