Hello Out There

I very seldom hear from any of you so decided to just give updates here. I really struggle with all of this and with the feeling that no one cares about much anymore. I have to admit to being in tears many times over the past couple of months.
As far as the radiation treatments I am doing ok. It is hard to face that every day----I'm sure none of you realize that-----but so far I seem to be doing fairly good. I have had 7 treatments so have 23 more to go. I have some discomfort but not unbearable. I do feel pretty tired at times---seems to come on suddenly but I am trying very hard to keep up on everything just like I have always done. Some days I don't function well but on others I feel pretty normal. I'm trying to eat 3 meals a day as that is one thing they really push. Radiation takes so much out of your body that you need to eat properly---proteins, carbs, veggies, fruits and grains. I guess because it also kills all your good cells and they have to rejuvenate quickly. Apparently pretzels and diet coke is not a good balanced diet---imagine my surprise!!! I am learning more about all this and as time goes on I actually may be quite an authority.

Steven is going to California the last week of July because they are the State Champs in their division in baseball. Colton's team didn't make it but he did hit a home run in the game yesterday. That is good stuff!

Nick was home, but chasing girls so didn't see much of him. He is back in North Carolina and thinks he will get another tour of duty in Iraq or Afganistan in the next few months. While he was home, Randy and all his family got together in Green River. That was the first time in years that all four of those kids were together. I guess Randy really enjoyed it as he had his whole family there and they all had a good time. Randy calls me every few days to check up on my progress so I am up on their news.

The hay is growing and so is the corn. All the cows have calved and we got rid of the angry bull and got a nicer one. All is well in Bridgeland---at least for now. I'm sure there will be a problem by tomorrow though!!!
