Time To Check-In...


The New Me!

Well today Rene went back into the hospital her sixth treatment for chemo. For the first time, she is very upbeat, strong, and more her pre-cancer self! If she continues to respond to treatment as she done for the past two treatments, she may only have to stay for two weeks instead of three.

Leading up to today, she is beginning to be a bit more stubborn about doing things on her on. At the moment, she takes her showers standing instead of using her shower chair. I didn't agree but as you can see, she won this debate!

Sending A Message

Today when we arrived to the hospital everyone from the admittance team to her nurses and aides were very happy to see her (she really is their favorite)! They were very impressed that she walked into her room without using either a wheelchair or her walker. They know she is getting better!

Scary Item - Purses!

While we were waiting to be admitted, Rene looked through her purse and made the following discoveries;
  • My old New York City business cards from 1998 when I was the Director of IT for Accor Hotels North America
  • Money
  • First Class Stamps when they were only $.32!
  • A Platex product; she had her uterus removed in 2001!
It really has been a long time since she used that purse. I am truly afraid to see what she discovers in the other purses she has that are not being used.

Funny about the purse "findings". Now I know why men are so afraid to venture inside them LOL.
Glad to see that Rene is doing so well. We missed you over the past several months and are SOOOO happy that you are getting better and beating this!
Take care and see you soon!
