Karen's Day at Shands

Karen wanted a place for family and friends to be able to see how she is doing each day at Shands. This is how she is making that happen.

Shands on Wednesday

January6

Hi everyone,

I’m still here in the hospital.  They will probably let me go home tomorrow (Thursday).  I am feeling a lot better and no fever.  All of my blood counts are on the rise and some are near normal.  Only complaint is a bloated tummy that’s tender, but I have that most of the time.  Not sure if it is caused by the chemo or the support meds.  Makes me want to wear maternity tops with low rise denims…or pajamas or sweats of course.

Can you guys believe how cold it is?  In florida?  When is it going away?  Brrrrr.  It is very sunny here is Gainesville this morning, but everyone that comes in, is complaining about how cold it is outside.  I worry about my dogs and horses.  I hope they are staying warm somehow.  Hopefully my dog has figured out it is warmer in my sisters barn (she is keeping him for me). 

Can’t wait to come home.  I don’t have the next schedule yet, but all is well.  When do we get our ticket? Right before we get on the train.  Stay warm and safe,

love Karen

    In this weather, go with the sweats! Much more comfy than jeans, anyway. ;-D

    And yes it is COLD! I hauled a bucket of hot water out to the water trough last night to warm it up for Taz and Revere just a bit for at least a few minutes. John was going to haul some more hot water out there this morning. I’m thinking I need a tank de-icer! Who would have thought one necessary in Florida?

    I’m glad you are feeling better and I hope your tummy feels better soon, too. We continue to pray for you and I look forward to seeing you soon!
