garnigalWork has been crazy, so I haven't been here at all. I checked my calendar, and have a Seasonal Spuffy story to write for Wednesday, so I figured I should try and check in.
We've had a crummy couple of weeks, with both cars down for the count briefly, and mine still not working. We're driving one of my brother-in-law's cars right now. However, today is our 8th anniversary, and it reminded me that no matter how bad it is, as long as we're facing it together, it's all good.
Friday was Mom's last chemo. She's had the heart and lung tests, and (we assume) will get the go ahead for the stem cell (bone marrow) harvest on Thursday. She'll get the central line in, and then is down there for a few days starting on the 18th for the actual harvest, and into isolation for 3 weeks starting on the 27th. That should get her home in time for Christmas, if all goes well. Then a couple of months to recover, and a second stem cell auto-transplant, since she has some mutation that means it will take 2 for it to actually take.
Hopefully, she'll be back to feeling well by summer, and she manages to avoid fractures on her somewhat fragile bones. Then we can put this behind us for somewhere between 8 and 15 years.
Genevieve is awesome, Derek is doing okay, I'm job searching again because my job is exhausting and doesn't pay enough for the misery. In other words - life is absolutely normal.
