January 2019

In the month of January I followed my research liquid drug regime of two weeks on and one week off. Now that I am not taking chemo drugs, things seem to be working out much better. I will be having an MRI in the middle of February.

 In the month of January I spent much time with my family. My mom is at home and has slowly gotten a bit better from the small stroke she had December 26, 2018. My dad now often comes home to see mom and his family. My sister Bev does a wonderful job driving my dad home from the hospital. As a family we had a wonderful time celebrating dad’s birthday.

Sadly, in the month of January two of my friends lost their husbands – my cousin Fiona and my friend Iris. I went to both funerals and once again realized that life can go by very quickly. I continue to be so grateful that it now is one and a half years since my first brain surgery. When I wake up every morning I am so thankful that I still am here. I continue to exercise and sleep every day, and I enjoy seeing my family and friends in many ways. This month I had the opportunity to go cross country skiing, to speak to a Yoga class about my life, and to go to a Winnipeg Jets hockey game with my family members. I have had so much fun! Every morning I thank God for all He does for me.  

 My husband gave me a Jets jersey for Christmas.

I love it! My sisters and I went to a game. Had fun!

 

 The family celebrated dad's 87th birthday.

 

 I enjoy spending time with my

granddaughter Molly.

 

My sister Bev gave me a ride to have lunch with... 

 

 ...my dear friend Mimosa.

 

 Dad is home from the hospital enjoying

some family time.

 

I met Gene and Lynn at the Yoga where I spoke.

Lynn invited me to come. I had fun.

 

I was so excited about seeing Gene. We taught

Phys Ed together at Tec Voc High School the

first few years of my teaching career.
