21days of chemo

Well I am into day 21 hospital stay. It's kinda boring but my family are all great to come spend time with me and that is wonderfull. I want to especially thank Missy for doing a blog page for me. That is one of those things I always say I will do but don't. Another step in my "well I meant to do that" and you know where that path leads to so I hope with her help she will get me to where I want to go and pray that my whole family will be there also.  I feel very grateful that my family all noticed my downhill climb and alerted me and Jerry and when jerry took me into the ER and misdiagnosed me with a stroke and put me into the hospital I'm glad that we were both humble enough to listen. Two days later my neurologist called jerry and said she had been looking at my MRI and she didn't agree with that diagnosis and had made me an appointment up at the University hospital for the next day and suggested we go there which we did and they did another MRI and said they would like me to go over to Huntsman's hospital for the doctors here to read it and give their opinion about the test so we did. And dr Cowen came in and he called in dr Jensen to help explain what they found and they both agreed that it wasn't a stroke but brain Xander. And dr Jensen said he could get me into surgery the next day. So the next morning I was being rolled down the hall to the surgery room and thinking to myself I hope these men know what they are doing. Later I learned that I had the two best doctors in that field. I feel that I have been very blessed. Because both doctors are wonderful and come highly recommended and once again I feel that Heavenly Father was watching over me.   I have done very well with the chemo. It has never made me sick and I haven't lost my hair. Jerry and my boys have given me wonderful blessing. One of which they blessed me that I would be patient with the doctors and nurses. When I told my doctor about that blessing hr said he really liked that.  I want to say thanks for all the cards phone calls and visits. They have all been great. I love you all. I pray that the lord will continue in blessing all of us. I love you all. Thank for all your thoughts and prayers. Barbara smith
