Well, A LOT happened yesterday! When I woke up (still in DC) Mom, Nen, and I took a drive. Apparently Mom and Dad had a surprise for me that they have been planning for about 2 months now! And I had NO IDEA!! I was acutally pretty surprised, I'm usually onto this stuff. So, anyway, after driving and driving we finally ended up at a Suzuki dealership. And when we walked up the bike I have wanted fro the past year was sitting outside, brand spankin new, and it was all mine! Although they have told me over and over again thye dont want me riding, i guess they finally gave in! And bought me my BIKE!!! Its a yellow and black suzuki GSXR 600. And I love it!! I can't wait to ride. Dad told me they have been looking EVERYWHERE and no one has them. And I know that is true because all last year I looked and no one had them, except beat up or used ones. So Dad said he called all around and finally found one, untouched, and it was mine. This will give me something to look forward to everyday I'm in the hospital. And, as Dad said, instead of a promise to get one I already have it, and it is there, and I have the keys. So as soon as I'm allowed, I will be on my bike all the time!!! I'm sooo excited. I took a lot of pictures so IF MY SISTER EVER POSTS THEM, you will see them! So that was a GREAT surprise. And I CANT WAIT to be able to just ride! THANKS MOM AND DAD!
So, after we left DC, we were on a hunt for Jess! Haha! Finally we caught up with her and kidnapped her for the night. We had made plans with Lari (my nurse) and her sister, Michele (an AC cop) to spend a night in AC. When we arrived to meet Lari and Michele, they had a LIMO waiting for us!!!! They are CRAZY! Not to mention presents, balloons, rose petals... EVERYTHING! The limo driver, however, was a bit crazy. He was the nicest person ever, but a little hard on the brakes. Lari went flying into the air at one point. It was hysterical! But I think we all took our turns flying in some direction from this guy!! Our first stop was a suprise. We went to see Charlene, Rodney, and Haley. (Shelby's family) Rodney wasn't there, but we got to see Charlene and the baby, who is sooooo beautiful! We took lots of pictures, and I got to see some pictures of Shelby growing up, a beautful blanket that was made for her... it was just awesome. And Charlene is such an AWESOME person, so strong and so kind. She is such a wonderful person who just lights up a room when se walks in! We stayed there for a little while and then back into the crazy limo. So then we all went to diner at Jonathan's, which was great. And the people there were awesome! I saw Mr. & Mrs. Franz there... small world huh? After an awesome dinner we went into the city and went to the Quarters. We went and sang kareokee (however you spell it). And Jess was AWESOME!!! She sang three songs and EVERYONE was cheering for her, there were men in the back holding up lighters. She was GREAT!!!! So when we left there, we stopped in 32 degrees and I saw Jim Nickerson! haha. I always see people i know! We stayed there for a little bit and jsut hung out. When we left we went back to get the car and drove to take Jess home. Then they took me home. I didn't get into bed until around 6 AM! But it was an awesome night!! THANKS LARI AND MICHELE and JESS FOR GOING!
So now I'm laying in bed being lazy... I do that so well. And am deciding what I will do today. I only have 4 days til I have to go back, and am DREADING IT! But as Randy said, 28 days is expected for regular people, I'm going to try to be out in 27!!!! So thanks everyone for everything. Cards, prayers, notes, presents, visits, EVERYTHING. And please remember the prayer list... Jess, Randy, Richter and Ruark families, Pop Pop Rossi, Mullhollands, and everyone esle that needs them. THanks again and I'll see you all soon!

GREENDAY WAS AWESOME! haha. Probably the best concert I've ever been to. It was just really incredible. We tried to get Brandon to go up stage when they were having people go up to play, but his outfit wasn't right for a stage appearance... lol. They pulled up 3 people to play and even let the girl keep a guitar! They played old stuff, new stuff, other people's stuff. It was just a really good show. Unfortunately I couldn't get too close to the stage because although I could have walked right up to the stage I was scared of getting hit in my Hickman so I hung back a little. But believe me I WAS CLOSE! So Brandon started me on my guitar lessons, and I am getting the hang of it. Before you know it I'll be performing up at Hahnemann! Another doctor's appointment today... blahhhh. They all seem pretty excited about me coming on Tuesday... Makes one of us. Cause I am DREADING it! At least my doctors are all pretty cool and I'll get a free shape up (my hair is going to fall out again). The least amount of time that I COULD spend up there is 28 days. That, of course, is if I don't get sick at all, have no infections, no fevers, and pretty much no reaction. The chances of that ARE SLIM! lol. But I can always hope and pray for the best. After the appointment we came down to Dad's. Just hanging out here one last time before the next imprissonment. Then Thursday is AC with some of my favorite people. Sunday I might be going to a Phillies game with some of the girls. But besides that no other plans, just hanging out and trying to squeeze everything in before Tuesday. So that seems like all for now. I have pictures, LOTS OF PICTURES, to be posted. I gave them to Lauren and am just waiting for her to put them up. So keep checking for the new ones... from GREENDAY, the hospital, being home, the beef and beer... just a bunch!! So thanks as always for everything, especially prayers. And please remember the list... Jess, Randy, Richter & Ruark families, Mikey O, Pop Pop Rossi, Mullhollands, and anyone else that needs our prayers.

GREENDAY

Big Night Tonight!!! Greenday with Nen and Bran (Lawrence). Cant wait. The past few days I really have not been doing much. Mostly just laying around. I'm still sore from the biopsy so am taking some meds and just relaxing. But now I'm going to start soaking up every second again... I have to go back May 3. I am soooo dreading it, but hopefully it won't be as long as they say. From what I understand most of the patients in there getting a BMT are all older, well 50's and above. So I'm hoping that considering my age, the shape I'm in, and my health will all play a part in a quicker recovery. Thursday night I'm going to AC with one of my FAVORITE Cooper nurses, her sister, and Jess. I can't wait. Actually, Lari is the nurse taking me and there is a picture of us from the beef and beer on the home page. It is the big one right in the middle. But, I'm really looking forward to hanging out with everybody, OUTSIDE OF A HOSPITAL ROOM! So not too much else is going on. Just the usual prayer requests... Jess, Randy, Richter and Ruark families, Mikey O, Pop Pop Rossi, Mullhollands, and me!!! Thanks for the posts everybody, I really look forward to them everyday!

Well, nothing going on really... saw my cousins' school play tonight. They did Mary Poppins, and it was GREAT! I was really impressed. Good Job JESSI, NICKY, and TJ! And I wanted to say thanks to Randy who really made me feel better this week, and as always offered some really good words of wisdom!! It really helped, so THANK YOU! That is all for tonight... Please remember the prayer list. Jess, Randy, Richter & Ruark families, Mullhollands, Pop Pop Rossi, Mikey O, Me... and anyone that needs our prayers.

"Standing Outside The Fire"

We call them cool

Those hearts that have no scars to show

The ones that never do let go

And risk the tables being turned

We call them fools

Who have to dance within the flame

Who chance the sorrow and the shame

That always comes with getting burned

But you've got to be tough when consumed by desire

'Cause it's not enough just to stand outside the fire

We call them strong

Those who can face this world alone

Who seem to get by on their own

Those who will never take the fall

We call them weak

Who are unable to resist

The slightest chance love might exist

And for that forsake it all

They're so hell-bent on giving ,walking a wire

Convinced it's not living if you stand outside the fire

Standing outside the fire

Standing outside the fire

Life is not tried, it is merely survived

If you're standing outside the fire

There's this love that is burning

Deep in my soul

Constantly yearning to get out of control

Wanting to fly higher and higher

I can't abide

Standing outside the fire

Standing outside the fire

Standing outside the fire

Life is not tried, it is merely survived

If you're standing outside the fire

Standing outside the fire

Standing outside the fire

Life is not tried, it is merely survived

If you're standing outside the fire

It was BEAUTIFUL today. It makes me dread going back in the hospital even more!!! Yesterday was a really tough day! I don't remember a lot of it, thank God, because of the pain medicine, but I do have the scars and pain in my back to remind me of all that I'm able to recall. I have me date.. I go back in May 3. Everyone is happy that I still have so much time out. I am too, but at the same time I would really love to go back in soon because the soone I'm in, the sooner I'm out, and the less summer I have to miss. I'll be going back in just as all my friends are getting out of school... And as much as I try to look at the "bright" side, it is so hard to find one, other than the fact that I'll be getting better. (I guess that should a bright enough side, huh??) So today I just lounged around, went to the beach to take some pictures, and cleaned my room. I dont think I am really supposed to be in the sun that much, and I am NOT allowed to swim, so it makes being outside on days like today really hard. I also learned a lot about my REAL friends today... my family, of course, has been awesome through all this. But the girls have really been there for me. And I love them so much. I dont know what I would do without them. (Lizard, Er, Ro, Bean, Mare, Jo, Becca, Lobsta in spirit)!! Others, however, sure know how to turn their back on you when you really need them... or even better, know how to break promises. But after a while you get used to it, and as hard as it is to face the facts, some friends just really arent as great as you make them out to be! Tonight I'll be heading down to Joanna's for another exciting game of Balderdash, and believe me it really is exciting!! haha. We had so much fun the other night playing. So tonight looks promising. I'm trying to make plans to go down to dad's again, maybe later this week. I dont have to take another trip up to the hospital until Tuesday... And Sunday night I have tickets for the GreenDay concert!!! I cant wait for that. A quick shout out to my lobster who I miss sooo much, and I cannot wait to see!!! And all the girls, you know each and every one of you who you are. You have made this time so much easier for me... not treating me sick and helpless...haha! And getting fat with me!! Thanks to everyone who made it Saturday, I really had an awesome time... thanks for everyone who signs this... especially Karen and the Ackleys who sign EVERYDAY. I look at my website several times a day and seeing that people still care and check in means a lot. Quick hellos to my Sister Jessica, I miss you girly!! We need to make those plans with Lari. Randy, hope you are getting good news, keep me posted. And to the Richter and Ruark families, you all remain in my prayers! Hi to my cooper nurses, I miss you sooo much. I had a little sample of what I'll be experiencing at Hahnemann in the weeks to come, and it SUCKS! haha, I miss you guys! Please remember to keep us all in your prayers... Jess, Randy, the Richter and Ruark families, Mullhollands, Mikey O, David, Pop Pop Rossi, and anyone else that needs the prayers... They work!! I am definitely an example of an answered prayer. So thanks again everyone so much. And as I learned today, DONT SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF, life is too short!

Recovery

What a night Saturday!! I'm still recovering. After passing out in my bed early Sunday morning, I woke up to a phone call from one of the girls to go get breakfast. After breakfast I hung out with the family for a while until we had a nice lunch for Mom's birthday. And just for the record... I got her the BEST card out of the whole family. (ask her). Dad put together my new TV stand, Kristy, Kristin, and Steph came over and we went over things from the beef and beer. We all talked and hung out for a while. Then Er and Jo came over, we went to get ice cream, played with the babies for a while, and had dinner at Woody's. And then... we played BALDERDASH!!! The best game ever!! So Eryn, Jo, Lizard, Bran, Yao, and I all played balderdash for a few hours and we had so much fun. National Llama Allience. HAHA. Yesterday I woke up early and had lunch with Nen, Lori, and Mom. I then went up to school with Nen and we went shopping and had lunch. Then I went to the gym and watched the boys play ball... how I miss being out there. Christopher wrote a rap for his Orginizational Behavior class and presented it to me and my roommates last night. It was really good... especially the second line!! haha.
So today was just awful. I went up for the dreaded spinal tap and bone marrow. I was knocked out for the "operation," but once I woke up the pain was unbearable. They were giving me meds but nothing seemed to worked! I wanted to scream. So then I had to go upstairs to my doctor and waited in his office for quite some time. NOTHING was accomplished... I left in pain and feeling like crap! And I'm still feeling like crap now, except I'm finally at home. Sorry to complain so much, but its just one of those days...

Beef and Beer

------------------------------------------
Wow!!! What a turn out! I had an awesome night and have never seen so many people jammed in such a small space!!! Early in the night some one walked up to me and we started talking and something was said about a mask... guess who that was. RANDY!!! I was SOOOOO excited to FINALLY meet a fellow chemo-sabi (as jess calls us) in person! I was so happy he was there. Unfortunately he could not stay long, he is still recovering from his BMT, and big crowds arent the best idea. But I was thrilled he could make it and I'm so happy we were all finally together! Thanks so much for coming! Then I got to meet some other AWESOME people. Shelby's family was all there. It was really great. The support of them being there was awesome. They are such great people, so strong, so happy, and soooo supportive. It was just an honor and a total thrill to meet them finally... I even got to meet Haley and Justin!! Pictures were taken with ALL of us, so they will def be on the site. And stinky Jess was there... haha!!! MY SISTER JESSICA WAS THERE!!! looking dead sexy too. (I'm not the only sick girl!! haha) So finally we were all together, out of the hospital taking pictures and hanging out like normal people. It was great. So I made the rounds and saw so many people... family, friends, teachers, coaches, new faces, faces I have not seen FOREVER, and of course fellow fighters, survivors, and those just there for support. It was just really an awesome night. And I am so happy that I was actually able to go. My softball girls from college made it down!!! They are ranked 5th in the nation!! GO RU!!! And my bike group from school RODE down in the freezing cold. Thanks guys! I even had a surprise visit from some one I didnt expect and it was great to see him. And then later in the evening one of my favorite people ever walked in... my nurse LARI!!!! With her famous sister... not only an AC cop, but also an actress..haha! So then Jess (also one of lari's patients), lari, our famous officer, and I all sat around talking... outside of Cooper as Jess kept pointing out. I just really cant stress how great it was to see everyone. The girls had a good time dancing and drinking "soda." And I think I even saw Johnny Greene dancing to some country music. We took some pictures of some people, and filled about 4 cameras for me. I met a lot of new people and was also introduced to a few cancer survivors. Everyone was great and I am so happy I was able to see you all. Thanks so much guys for everything. Kristen for arranging the whole thing, my sisters for helping out, ALL THOSE THAT DONATED, Michaels for holding it, everyone for your support, your prayers, DRIVING down to see me, those that didnt make it but still bought tickets, and everyone else for anything and everything I did not mention. So now I am home laying in bed debating whether or not I should join "the gang" for some late night snacking at Mr. D's. But I think I may have to decline cause I am BEAT, not to mention my feet are Killing me! So other than a poor choice in shoes (i'm sure every girl is complaining about that tonight) the night was a great night. I feel like I am leaving so much out. Tonight was just awesome!!! I hope you were all able to see the pictures I put together, and were able to either run into me or one of my family members. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!!! But please never forget to keep the prayers.... Jess, Randy, The Richter and Ruark families, Mullhollands, Mikey O, and me!! And hopefully this summer you'll see us all laying on the beach having kicked cancer's a--! Mare, I KNOW you had a good time! haha. And I def did also! Well, I'm exhausted so I'll see you all again soon. thanks again!!! Its just amazing to see the kind of support not only I have, but everyone else that is battling along with me is graced with as well. I love my fellow chemo-sabies... Night Everyone!!!
------------------------------------------

It has come to my roommates attention that I have more gadgets then any guy they know! Nick is playing the guitar for me right now... and I love it. I have decided to take up a new project for my next stay in the hospital. And I think it will be learning to play the guitar!! I had another lovely doctors appointment yesterday... got my stitches out and it made the hickman a little more comfortable. I hung out at shcool after the doctors for a while. We played with my new PSP, watched some TV, nothing big. But fun, relaxing, and refreshing to feel like a normal person again. Last night I just hung out... we had planned a night of telling ghost stories but that fell through so I began my new book... A Series of Unfortunate Events. Very good so far. Tonight I'm having dinner with the girls, and then some good QT!! Tomorrow is the big event! And I am so looking forward to it and seeing everyone there. It seems like it is going to be a huge turnout... hopefully there will be enough room... Well, I am going to go home now so I'll write again later on tongiht!!! Thanks so much everybody for everything. Please remember the prayer list... Jess, Randy, Ruark adn Richter families, Mullhollands, Mikey O, and yours truely... lol! Well see you all tomorrow!!

Busy Week

Well, since I came home from Dad's I've been doing pretty much nothing!! Spent some QT with the girls... love you guys!!! And we did the usual... not much! lol. I had to get two tests done today, and I swear they picked the biggest needle possible to stick in my arm! You would think I would be used to it by now. But after that I got to spend a lovely afternoon shopping and doing our next favorite thing...eating... with the girls!! Tomorrow I have to go up to Hahnemann AGAIN for more bloodwork... blah blah blah. And next week has a spinal tap and another bone marrow in store for me!! Oh the perks of cancer!! It gets old fast. I can't imagine how some of the people I have come across and others that I know put up with it for so long. It is hard. But I guess faith, family, friends, and TV really helps. haha. I spoke to Jess today. She said she was saying to her mom that she had to call me and as the words came out of her mouth her phone rang and it was me!! It is definitley the chemo!! I'm really looking forward to Saturday! I'll be there. My first social event since... I don't even know how long. But not only that, Jess is coming, Randy is coming, and Shelby's family is coming! I am so looking forward to meeting everyone in person! And I think some of my AWESOME Cooper nurses will be coming down also!!! Well, the days are winding down, and before I know it I will find myself in another stinky hospital room. But hopefully that will be my last time in one. Thanks again everybody for everything... especially the prayers. And please remember to keep Jess, Randy, The Richter and Ruark families, Mullhollands, Mikey O, and me in your prayers! Thanks so much.... see you all Sat! Oh... Jennifer, My favorite color is blue. However, I will be wearing white and the color for leukemia is orange. so I guess you have a few different choices! But thank you so much for your interest... hope to you see you Sat!!!

looooong week

Well it has been a couple days since my last blog... sorry! I went up to Hahnemann for another friendly visit. My counts are still ok.. 2.5. Could be better, but I'm not complaining, I'm still out. So they told me I'm doing good and their expectations for me are great. I got to meet a number of doctors, unfortunately no Dr. Shums. BUT... i have to get a spinal tap UGHHHH and of course another bone marrow biopsy. But they thought they were going to be able to do it in the office. Well it was obvious they never had me before cause there is NO WAY anything is goign into my back without me being on some sort of drug!!!! So I have to go up there next week, as planned, but might have to stay over to get all these tests done while on drugs. But its all worth it rather then to have that done without the drugs! So after that i went to school and stayed a few days. I got to see A LOT of people I have not seen in a while! (their pictures should be up on here soon) and hopefully some will be making the trip down to my beef and beer... we all know who will not be there, haha... I went and saw Hostage... and it was REALLY good. Bruce Willis looked hot, as always. And despite the awful movie reviews, i thought it was great. And the most exciting part of my week at school???? I got to go to Cooper on Thursday night and see some of my favorite night nurses... We partied hard for a little bit and then i went back to school to get some sleep. So then Mom and Nen pciekd me up on Friday morning and we came down to Dad's. We went into the city today to see the Cherry Blossoms, it is all Mom talks about. And we got to see all the Mickey statues that famous people painted. And I found a silk komono that I totally am in love with!!! So tomorrow I will be home and after Liz's AWESOME presentation on Monday, I'll be resting up the rest of the week for the big party Saturday night! I cant wait to see everybody, and our special guests of honor. So quick shout outs to : Phil up at Rutgers :) Shamal, Nick!! Miss my roommates!! JESSICA... go you on the awesome news. cant wait to see you this weekend girl!!!! Randy who I will FINALLY get to meet this weekend... Shelbys family, you are always in our prayers and I am so excited I'll finally get to meet you too!! The Mullhollands...And of course to all my nurses up at good old COOP!!! I miss you guys sooo much! Well, I hope to see you all Saturday and if not I hope to hear from you soon! THanks everybody for everything... keep up the prayers so we can all keep kickin cancer!!!

CANCER SUCKS!!!

UGGGHHH!!!! Today is just NOT my day. I had written a very long blog already and when I went to post it, the page wouldn't come up, and the whole thing was deleted!!! Well, let me try to remember and start over...Yesterday I got to visit with my cousins who just got back from Florida. I was a little mad because not only was I supossed to be down there with them, but they were all soooo nice and tan making me appear to be seethrough. But it was fun. You never appreciate peace and quiet so much after leave there! Haha! I may have even talked my cousin into teaching me to play the drums... a new hospital project. And if all goes right, they will have me out of the hospital ASAP, if you get what I mean! haha. So after I came home I helped Lizard with a school project she is doing on me and my cancer. So we worked on her speech and then made a collage for her visual aid. It is so cute! It has pictures from the time we were little up until my last stay in the hospital. It is similar to the ones that I will have at my beef and beer... maybe we will even steal that one for the night. So I had fun last night and got to do some crafty stuff. Today, however, I woke up and had to go down to the doctors office cause there was nasty white stuff in my Hickman (the port in my chest where i get my chemo and other meds). And when I got there, I noticed that the entire line was pulled out of my chest and hung to about my waste. So OF COURSE, not only did I not get to go to class with Liz for her presentation, I had to drive all the way up to Cooper. (the only benefit being I got to see my love). So when we got there they had to put a whole new Hickman in. And as usualy they try to sedate me, but i have become so immune to the pain meds, that they dont even touch me. So I felt every stick, pinch, pull, poke... you name it they did it. And when they were all finished I expected at least a little something to take the edge off... but NOPE! I was simply sent home empty handed. So needless to say I am MISERABLE, in pain, and hating cancer more than ever. And tomorrow I have to go all the way back up for another doctors appointment. UGH!! But enoguh of that. Later this week I am going to my Dad's. Ill get to meet all the guys and hang out in the city. It should be fun and I'm really looking forward to it. And then on the 16th is my beef and beer. I am really looking forward to that because although my name is on the ticket, ther ewill be MANY guests of honor there. Some who I cant wait to see again, and some who I will FINALLY be meeting for the first time. So, now that I am done feeling sorry for myself (i think we should all get one of those days, even if you dont have cacner), maybe I'll go take a nap until my boys play tonight. And hopefully we will reclaim our title!!! And it will give me a reason to go up to the city tomorrow in blue and white. So please remember the prayers... Jess, Randy, Richter and Ruark families, Mullhollands... and me too!!! thanks so much...CANCER SUCKS!

We're going to the ship!!! haha GO UNC!!! Dad, Nen, Bean and I went to the Bayview tonight to get some food and watch the game! And my boys pulled it out! Today I did nothing... after a little shopping with mom I laid around all day. It was my favorite type of weather. I love the rain! And unfortunately for my poor lobster had to drive 3 hours at 5 AM for a track meet that was canceled when she got there!! Sorry lobster. But hopefully she will make it down the weekend of my beef and beer. And maybe we can play Mr. Moonhead...haha. I cant wait for that. I hope a lot of people can make it. And I am hoping to meet Randy and his wife and family. And my sister, Jessica, and her family is coming down for the whole weekend... I hope!!! Later this week I will go down to my Dad's and hang out in the city... see the guys... maybe the spy museum. That should be a lot of fun! Some quick shout outs.... JESS I MISS YOUUUUUUU!!! But keep kickin cancer... (we fought hard for this hair) Randy, praying for you always, hope we get to meet you soon, friends and family of Shelby..an angel. She touched so many people and she will continue to do so. All my girls who have made my stay at homeso great!! Thank you. All my family who is there for me and gives me stuff to do EVERYDAY...lol. Lobster I miss you! I cant wait til we are lounging around on the beach and the screened in pool. haha. Dont fall down the laundry schoot! Bean I hope your big knee gets better. And you come home from school once in a while. Christopher I miss you so much. Cant wait to get back on a bike and go to the airport do a wheelie and then take off my helmet (but now i wont have hair to show everyone). Haha. Well, until tomorrow everyone. Please keep up the prayers... they work wonders... see some of you tomorrow at church!
Prayers: Jess and her family, Randy and his family, Shelby's family, the Mullhollands, and to everyone else that needs the prayers... GOD BLESS
