Day Thirty-Four with Cancer

Day Thirty-Four with Cancer/Day Fourteen without Cancer:

Wow.  Has it really been two weeks since surgery?  That really doesn't seem possible at all.  It's Monday-Memorial Day...the grandparents are gone.  It seems quiet.  This morning consisted of movies with the parents.  We just laid in the living room.  It was kind of awesome.  It seems silly, but it was nice to just hang out.

Jason came over with Sydney.  The poor thing didn't feel well.  She just wasn't herself.  She didn't seem to want to do anything.  I asked Jay if he thought she had another ear infection.  Mom made dinner for all of us.  Sarah, Jeff and the boys came over not too long after that.  Caleb wanted to bring me all kinds of soft foods.  He saw that I had only eaten half of my pork chop and figured it was too hard for me.  Syd seemed to perk up a little bit with the boys.  I am so blessed to be close enough to my family that I can watch my niece and nephews grow up.  I love them.  Poor Jenny had to work.  At least she'll be able to be with us during the big holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas.  Let's hope that mom and Jason won't have to work.  I'll make sure not to schedule any procedures on or around that time so that I don't have to fast.

We ended up watching some River Monsters show and checking out some big friggin eels.  It was disgusting.  I didn't even realize there were real eels that large.  I also didn't realize that eel blood is poisonous to us.  Weird.  We all had fudgecicles and ice cream sandwiches and poor little Syd passed out on Sarah.  Everybody ended up leaving and then I ended up passing out.  I slept for at least an hour.  Of course that meant that I couldn't sleep at night.  I worked on getting some of the stuff done for the fundraiser.  I got lots of phone numbers and addresses.  Hopefully I get get lots more donations.  I think we've got a nice start.

Song of the Day: Dare You to Move-Switchfoot
