Home Sweet Home never looked so good.

I was just going to do my homecoming blog when I discovered I never published the one I did yesterday! Don't know what's up with that but we are home. It seemed like an interminable wait at the hospital, they were so disorganized, especially the pharmacist! Trying to sort out what meds to continue, what not to, what is new, etc. But finally we were in the car and I was out of there, into the fresh, brisk air and sunshine, that would make anyone feel better. We stopped in Onawa at Bomgaars, we can't seem to go to town without going there, and the store for a few groceries. I was exhausted by the time we got home but first thing was sort out all the meds and fill my pill box, never would I have thought I'd take so many pills.

It was an early night for both of us and it was wonderful to sleep in my bed again, with Zoe pressed up against me, I felt very refreshed when Bruce came downstairs. I have a pot roast in the crock pot for dinner and feel stronger, no pain in my legs at all, hopefully that means that the chemo pill is working on the nerves endings like Dr. Lunning hoped.

It's cold and cloudy out there today, Bruce is off to do chores, the animals wait for no one. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the love and support.

  1. Good Morning to the Home Sweet Home Crew! We rejoice for all! It is sunny and 34, but the wind is howling. We got the calves to the sale barn, AND brought no others home, so a successful day! And the farmer was ok with the price. We stopped by Lampe's Pub and had the best ever $12 prime rib sandwich (more prime rib than sandwich!), thought of you Bruce! Are you drinking water as you read this, Julie? Just a reminder;). Aaron's Mom and Roger are here for Heather's birthday (can you believe 40, Julie? It was just last week she was following you and Spook around, hoping for a lesson. You were so good with a horse crazy little girl:-). We have God Bless You many times!) Anyway, it is Minnesota walleye and birthday cake tonight! Is it time for another swig? Hope you have a wonderful day at home. The pot roast is smelling great about now I'm sure! Hope you stay pain free and well flushed! Love you both, Larry and Sam

  2. Julie, I tried this once and it didn't publish, so will try again and say pretty please! So glad you are Home Sweet Home! And the pot roast smell wonderful by now I'm sure. Isn't it nice to just do normal things? Maybe not so much cleaning the bathroom, but some normal things! Hope you are drinking lots and flushing the stuff that needs to go. Glad to hear the pain is gone in your legs, maybe Bruce will put on some of his music and give you a twirl abound the kitchen floor, after all it is Saturday Night;-)!! Have a great day! Thoughts, prayers and love, Larry and Sam,

  6. Julie; we are so happy you got home - everything seems better at home, doesn't it? It's like you come over the hill, and your soul gets a cool drink of water on a hot day, so calming and wonderful. May it be a blessing to you, and you continue to improve every day. Our church prayed for you again, both down here and at home, besides all our personal prayers, and I have to believe they help you! Love, Janet and Gerald
