DUH, IT ONLY TOOK 12 DAYS SINCE INFUSION STOPPED

Postby sbstantial » Fri Oct 08, 2010 12:11 pm

EGADS, I THOUGHT I NEVER WOULD BREAK OUT OF IT, TWELVES DAYS OF FATIGUE, NEUROPATHY, LOOSE STOOLS, FRIGGED UP TONGUE, YADA, YADA AND YADA.

WELL TODAY I CLEANED MY CLOSET, EMPTIED A TON OF GARBAGE, SPOT VACUUMED JUNK FROM THE CAT, GAVE THANKS TO GOD FOR THE MOST BEAUTIFUL DAY IN VIRGINIA HISTORY, CALLED MY PASTOR AND SAID LOOK FOR ME ON SUNDAY FOR SERVICES AND BIRTHDAY POT LUCK AND AM GRATEFUL FOR LIFE. OH DID I MENTION HANGING CLOTHESE 3 SIZES SMALLER, HA, LOL, HA, HEEE, HEEE AND WHEE.

I HAVE TURNED INTO A LIGHWEIGHT (YEA SURE) GORGEOUS BABE WITH GREY THIN HAIR.

I HAVE LOST OVER 62 LBS.


YIPEE DO DA, WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I AM GOING TO EAT A STEAK AND DRINK CHAMPAGE THIS WEEKEND AND THE ONCOLOGIST CAN KISS MAH SWEET SOUTHERN
a___S.

LOVE YA,

GLORIA ANN :D
