Thanks once again to everyone that has shown support in any way that they can with our fight against this surprise leukemia diagnosis. I am, as those regular followers know, currently in hospital receiving round 3 of 8 of the chemo treatment..fingers crossed this one is going better than the second round so far..there are some side issues i am having to be treated for but mostly those are the hanger-on side effects from round 2 and are almost gone. Obviously I am exhausted, stressed and still worried as hell about just how much normality is going to be left at the end of this, as everybody knows I was always willing to accept the treatment, as long as my life was still gonna be available when I got better. Well, Ive been kinda relaxing about that the last few weeks, as that was what the doctor and everybody in my life ordered but, alas, the things I have been stressing about draw near. My disability pay is about to run out..I may have another month if I can get an extension on it, maybe one more month after that. Honestly, as at that point the treatment is gonna be possibly getting close to being done, thats not my biggest worry..no that one is still to come. The bills have been piling up behind the scenes but so far they are under control..the most crazy ones were actually the treatment I got at the hospital before being transferred to the cancer center and the ambulance ride here on the night. Without insurance, we could, I believe, be possibly owing about a million dollars already!!! So right now things are about as good as they can be under the circumstances. But, as I said, the ONE THING that could just mess me up draws close, that being the possible giving up on me by my place of work. Those who know me know that since the start of this, my biggest fear was losing my job. Well, if its gonna happen, it is, I believe, gonna happen around mid December. So I beg, anybody that works with me, alongside me, and works in my district, region, company...and also my regular customers (because I appreciate all of you too)...I didnt want any of this to happen, and the biggest part of the Return to Normality aspect of the thinking behind getting through this was the return to you all. If the worst happens, I will do everything I can to come back to you all, but I still hope and pray that I have a certain amount of protection. In the meantime, I am still the manager of the store, so any questions or advice or recommendations on what you should be preordering let me know. I am in the process of trying to convince my doctor to at least let me return to work with limited physical responsibilities, but because of the fact that it isnt just physical issues that could mess me up, she still wont back down. Still not gonna stop trying though, because I wanna come back to you guys that much. Anyway, fingers crossed that this will all work out...looking forward to seeing you all again. And again...a HUGE THANK YOU for the support so far. Those who have helped, youve helped more than you know. The closer these possible changes come, the more alone I am going to feel...the support reminds me that I am not alone. THANK YOU!!!
