Apology and Thank yous.

[Wisconsin Beth]

I want to say Thank You to everyone who donated cash or gift cards to me.  I really appreciated them at the time but was in no shape to do Thank you notes.  Now that I'm stronger, I don't have the names and addresses to do them.  So I'm very sorry I didn't get any Thank yous out.  The cards are taped to the closet doors and still appreciated by us.  Thank you also for the prayers and good thoughts.  That helps too.  

So please accept this as a Thank You card from me, my husband and the kids for helping us in our time of need.  

I'm not using the walker anymore, I'm using a cane to do my daily walking.  I still use a wheelchair at my weekly trips to the cancer clinic because I still don't have the strength to walk that far but I'm getting closer.  Inside the house I don't use any assistance in walking.  I'm down to 8 medicines that I take daily.  My creatinine levels are really high and I'm now seeing a kidney doctor to try and figure out what's going on and how to lower them.  I get an IV once a week, which is sort of helping keep the creatinine down. 

I'm working from home, but there's not a lot I can do.  But it keeps me on the payroll which means I keep my health insurance going.  I accue vacacation and sick leave on a weekly basis so as long as I put in 35 hrs. a week or so, I'm good with the time off to do the IV fluids.  

I'm working on getting stronger so I can use some of that vacation time as actual vacation.  We have 2 camping trips planned.  One over the 4th of July in Door Co. with my family and a 2n one with friends from high school.  We planned it last year so before we knew about the cancer.  

Please include my older brother in your thoughts and prayers.  He's recently been diagnosed with MS.  The rest of my family is doing well.  

Thank you for everything,
Beth

Thanks for the update Beth!

I am so glad to hear you are on the road to recovery and that your employer is treating you well.

I hope you are able to camp with your family and friends this summer.

I never expected a written Thank You, so just let that concern go on my part.  Just keep working on getting healthy!

So glad to hear that you are doing better!  I hope things continue to improve for you.  Positive thoughts to your brother, I'm sorry he has to deal with that.

Glad to hear you're getting around better and planning vacations.

When someone is as sick as you were, I never expect a thank you.  The person has much more important things on their mind.

I hope you keep improving and get to go on your trips to Door County.

Thanks for stopping by and giving us an update.

I'm glad to hear of all your progress and the vacations!

Vacations are a good thing. I'm about to make a pin or sticker or something that says "Please, can we just talk about something else for a minute?" Those mental breaks are so important.

We love you!

Thank you for stopping by and updating us.  I hope every day ahead brings more strength and healing for you.  The vacation will be awesome!

Beth, it's just good to get an update form you! You're working to get stronger and trying to take care of your family, hold down a job and deal with the medical establishment. That's plenty for anyone to handle.

I like picturing all the cards taped to the closet doors. Every one of them should remind you of people who care!
