Today we reached our minimum half way goal amount – $3,800!! That’s the most money I’ve ever raised. We still have another $3,800 to raise and less time to do it in (I’d really like to see us reach the $10,000 goal). Now’s when we’re going to get creative. We’re planning a dinner fundraiser — [...]
Got the call today that my bone marrow came back clean!!! I’ve now entered a period of remission and ‘watchful waiting’. I don’t go back until December for more testing. As long as that comes back good, I won’t have to go back for three months and then six months!! I’d act more excited by [...]
Today my alarm went off at 5:15am. For once it wasn’t because of TNT training, it was due to my son needing to be at his swim meet before 7am and we had to be out the door by 6:10am in order to make it on time. We returned home around noon and by 1pm [...]
Initial blood work has come back cancer-free!!! I won’t know about the bone marrow results until Monday. But not having cancer cells showing up in my blood is a very good sign!! There is a down-side…..my red blood count hasn’t gone back up like it should have by now. Going to give it another week [...]
Still waiting for the results from my tests yesterday. Didn’t sleep well last night because my hip hurt so badly. It hasn’t hurt like this before. I’m hoping a few laps in the pool will help. Either that or I’ll resort to Craig’s suggestion of a few shots….
The week is already flying by. It’s Tuesday night — 8:45pm. It’s been a quiet week in the Gabel home. That’s a good thing. I’ve been running a fever on and off since the weekend. Although, I’m not sure if it’s a fever or hot flashes. I feel it in my ears and then my [...]
Nothing profound to share as of Wednesday. So far the only highlight of my week was receiving a beautiful handmade quilt yesterday. The maker? Jolene Torgler. Who? The mother of the stylist (Stephanie) who shaved my head. I know — you’re as amazed as I am!! The random kindness of strangers. It is a gorgeous [...]
Today was the Jared Coones Pumpkin Run/Walk !!! This was our first official 5K – and when I say ‘we’, I mean ALL of us – Craig, Alex, Ashlee and me!! The kids had a hard time with the fact that the sun wasn’t up yet when we left for the event. It was local [...]
This week has been rough. It’s all about making the distance this week. Times have been declining all week. Swim on Monday was very strong. My best time so far for a mile…just under 25 minutes. I had a good Tuesday 3 miler. Time was good on Tuesday…at 12:40 pace. Then yesterday hit and I [...]
Today was Alex’s first day in the walking club. It was the first day for the club, period. A group of 30 third to sixth graders. And it was organized. The kids have to do 15 laps in the gym to equal a mile. As they pass the table they collect sticks – 15 sticks [...]
