I've been taking it easy since last Friday. Even though I didn't have the taxotere this time, I felt like the nausea was present until Sunday. I took the anti-nausea meds, but probably not as often as I could have. I saw that the compazine can make you have blurry vision so I felt less inclined to take it this time. So it was more nausea than heartburn.

On Sat morning (11/22/08), my cousin Michelle had her baby daughter, Morgan Leigh Park!! She's a healthy 7 lbs. 6oz. Congrats to Michelle, Willy, and little Lincoln!! I'll be sure to see you guys soon.

I received the tote from the Lydia Project requested by Linda for me. It had LOVE embroidered on it with a notebook of encouraging quotes from past cancer patients, lotion, tissues. Also, there was a prayer request card that I could send to them and a note letting me know that these women in GA are praying for me. How sweet is that!

On Sunday, after doing practically nothing for a few days, I made 6 lbs of mashed potatoes for a Thanksgiving dinner at church. Hey, that's almost as heavy as Morgan! I was really exhausted after all the scrubbing, cutting, boiling, and mashing (especially since I couldn't locate our potato masher that Sam likes so much and had to use a wooden spoon and fork). The dinner was so nice though that I'm glad that Sam and I went and met this couple, Enoch and Gloria. Sam learned how to deep fry turkeys in peanut oil and had a turkey aroma about him for the rest of the evening. =)

Linda's here for Thanksgiving! I showed her the apt and my practically bald head. She thinks our heads are shaped similarly with a prominent bump in the back that slopes down to the neck. Thanks, Bonnie, for the Dead Sea lotion and socks! We were giving each other hand massages with it yesterday.
