I add that this Friday zoom meeting is with between 3- 8 women. We talk about God, turning our problems over to him and prayer and meditation as a daily use. A good friend invited a number of the women she felt would enjoy this topic and the new friends. This friend passed 1 year ago. We all speak with love about her.
I told them I had joined my good friends online support meeting and chat her to read my prior phone text please. In that meeting I chatted my need for caregivers to her.
Well, through a few texts over 4 hours, she called to say I could stay at her house. A blow up bed would be added to the house, so all 3 would have a space. Logistics would be figured out closer to my date of transfusion. She is 10 minutes from COH. She is my link to a few other ladies with extra rooms. If I need a week or two at each, that would work. I just thought about a bunco friend who I may ask to be on my list.
I figured it would be far less stress to stay with a few others and have them down on the COH form as the fourcthey request. I can wear masks at their home and they do keep their homes rooms clean.
I speak to the Dr. On the 5th so he may have an update from the donor on if and when he is available. I had spoken to the transplant nurse a few weeks ago and the social worker last week. Both of those are part of the transplant team.
My BC journey started in July 2021, chemo in August, removal of the tumor in Feb of 2023. Getting covid in Jan 2022 caused my surgery to remove the chemo shrunk tumor to be put off till Feb. A 2nd surgery till Dec, happened as I had a deep vein thrombosis, aka a blood clot, in my upper thigh. I learned here after 6 months of blood thinners that a body breaks down its blood clots. I have now had that blood clot for 2 years. It is not fully open, so use of a thigh high compression stocking is in use.
This journey continues.
