Yep, the poor big toenail that turned purple back in November when I started chemo fell off today. I knew that the purple color had gone away months ago but the color just didn't look normal...I think that part of the nail actually pulled away from the nail bed because I looked down and the top 3/4 of the nail was just hanging off....Great - just in time for sandal weather!
I have felt horrible today...I am getting a sinus infection and running a fever so I am achey all over....I hate it because the aches and pains remind me so much of chemo. I have some antibiotics and I think they are starting to kick in...other than that I am still just tired but I have been trying to get out and walk as much as possible.
Our weekend was nice. Bret went on the "Dad's fieldtrip" with Jillian to a farm in Kentucky on Friday. That night Heather took Jillian with her family to see Sesame Street Live and she kept her overnight since they go to swim lessons together early on Saturday. Bret took me out on a "date" Friday night....we went down to the river with the Galberg's and had a great evening at Don Pablos...of course Reese made sure we were well taken care of even though he wasn't working that evening! Thanks Reese!!! Other than that I have just been "supervising" some of our outdoor projects that Bret has been working on. Jillian and I packed a picnic lunch today and sat out in the shade of one of the big pine trees in our yard...she was on her best behavior all during our time together but by tonight it was "meltdown central" in our house tonight....I was feeling so bad with my fever that I had to just let Bret handle it....all I know is that it went on for a very long time...that girl is so strong willed...
Happy Birthday to my dear friend Linda on Monday! It was so nice to talk to you today...I loved hearing about you guys participating in the Relay for Life...it sounded very nice. I can't believe you guys are already swimming in your pool - sounds like fun!!
I hope everyone has a good week...

I'm so sorry you're not feeling well. I know everyone is feeling the pollen around here. I've seen so many poor little kids with their eyes all watery and swollen because the pollen is so bad right now. Hopefully the rain we got last night will help with that. I hope you are feeling better soon.
Hey...you know...you can always just paint your toe...to make it look like there is a toenail..LOL
Glad you and the Galberg's got together. Sounds like a great time. And how nice of your friend Reese to take such great care of you guys even though he wasn't working...that was awesome!!
Well...we have our court date tomorrow. Should be interesting to see how that goes. I've never been inside a courtroom, leave it up to my son to drag me into one!!!
The joys of parenthood...ugh
I'll fill you in on it later.
Keep getting some rest and I hope the meds kick in for you soon.
Talk to you soon.
All my love,
Sheryl
Adios big ol toenail! I'm certain it will be less noticable now that it's gone, then if it was still there and discolored! :) Hehehe. I'm sorry you're feeling sick. I always say nothing worse than a summer cold, but I'm CERTAIN that is incorrect and you would truly have a great arguement against that statement. Hopefully you'll be able to lick it quickly. I'm just sorry it dredges up some painful memories!Listen to what your body is telling you. You really need to slow down and heal. You can do that!!!! Enjoy being home and being able to take long naps while the kiddos are at school and Bret is off working! These aren't bonus days for you to get things done - (like I feel like when I'm home with a sick kid) - these are days your body needs to heal..... That other "stuff" can wait! I missed your last post - so had to catch up and enjoyed some of the girls bringing up Vermilion things - and knowing what and who they were talking about! Pretty cool..... You are so right though - if we all would just stop and take the time to take in and truly appreciate those things you were pointing out. We all get so busy, it's easy to take it all for granted. Each day is truly a gift and we should treasure each moment! Take care. Get to feeling better real soon! Love you- - - Sue
