My other post was so long, I wanted to put this thought in another post because I think it’s significant.
It’s constantly on my mind why I’m such a wimp and not feeling as well as other MMrs seem to feel. My IGG serum is in the normal range, my m-spike is way low, X-rays and [...]

Hoorah! It’s overrrr! I can eat, drink, and be merry!
As usual, my faithful sister Joy took me to do the dirty deed. It was a good excuse to get together as she took me to all my initial doctor visits and treatments. I get emotional when I’m alone and think of these times with her. [...]

Tomorrow morning is the colonoscopy. I’ve had one of these before and they are no big deal. You don’t remember a thing. The worst part is the day before. No eating and no red liquids. The stuff they do have you drink is just disgusting.
I slept most of the day as I felt super tired. [...]

I finally went to the Kansas City Myeloma support group. They meet once a month at the Central Methodist Church around 47th & Oak. I have never made it to a meeting because I’m often absolutely exhausted by 5:00PM or so. Now that I’m off the Revlimid and Dexamethasone, I’m doing better, though still very fatigued. I [...]

Isn’t that what life’s about? The bitter and the sweet? I’m tasting a bit of both.
Am I a “glass half full” or a “glass half empty” person?
Am I bitter or am I sweet?
Am I thankful or am I unappreciative?
Am I selfless or am I selfish?
Am I self-centered or do I think of others first and more?

God’s Boxes I have in my hands two boxes, Which God gave me to hold.
He said, ‘Put all your sorrows in the black box, And all your joys in the gold.’
I heeded His words,and in the two boxes, Both my joys and sorrows I stored, But though the gold became heavier each day, The black was as [...]

I should have known better. The minute I go and brag about eating healthy, that evil temptations and visualizations of comfort food would haunt me? Loud grumblings from somewhere below, I believe it was my stomach, groaned for real food. That I would even have the audacity to express the thought of going Vegan, just what was I thinking? Didn’t I [...]

I can’t believe it. I entered a complete, long, rambling entry and somehow deleted it all. SATAN!!
First about Medicare D. It’s very disappointing and a bit alarming looking at the medications I take and what it is going to cost. And that is just considering my routine medications and no treatment-type drugs. I’m not even [...]

Yesterday I had my first appointment with Dr. Deauna (Dr. D.). She’s a middle-aged Philippine doctor, extremely busy but seems very intelligent. She specializes in Multiple Myeloma and Lymphoma which is good. I met her nurse assistant, “Cindy” and she seems very good and personable. I was a tad bit intimidated with Dr. D., but [...]

Yesterday I got lots of good veggies to eat and juice. Rather than go to the health food store I decided to go to our local grocery. I have a love/hate relationship with this store. Most often the produce is low quality but it was pretty good yesterday. I got Organic Romaine Hearts, Organic Spinach, [...]
