Mission sleep accomplished. Today was a good day, still some lingering leg pain but better. I went to lunch with some church friends, visited another friend, ran into another local friend who is going through chemo...we compared port experiences and side effects...strange thing to do I suppose but it feels good to be able to share that with someone who is there. She had a rough time with her port too. I've decided that they must place the port according to what chemo treatment you get. Her tubing goes close to her heart, my goes in my neck. Let's see...then I did some grocery shopping...used a sled to haul the bags of stuff down the hill to the house. We don't have snow but it slides equally well on all the mud!!!!

Tomorrow we go to get Veronica at a bus station about 2 hours away...I can't wait to see her and from her emails to me, I think she's feeling the same way!!!! I can't wait to wrap my arms around her!!!! Anyway, she's good for my spirits!!!!

About the sleep stuff....I get that rest, even while awake, can be healing but my body was feeling so heavy and cranky and tired....just bone weary tired...I desperately needed that night of sleep. It was SO good to wake up and feel refreshed.....to just lay in bed and listen to the birds and feel my body go ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Good night all!!!
