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.

Thursday nite – settled in at Shands

December17

We are in room 8220, on the eighth floor.  And we just started the chemo.  I am so thankful to be in remission, and when my blood counts are up,I feel sooo good.  It’s nice to feel normal in between treatments.  It gives you hope. 

I really wish I could have seen all my friends (co-workers) at BMC this last trip home.  I was just so busy trying to get Christmas done and catch up with stuff, that I just couldn’t get by there.  I miss you guys.  Maybe when i come home in January I will get to stop by.  

We will be here until January 6th.  Sorry Tina, but I won’t be home for new years.  We will get together soon though. 

I love you guys,  thanks for checking in.  Mary, we will be praying for your Dad.  May God bless all of you.  Remember to love your life, and be sure to stop and smell the roses.

love karen

    Just wanted to say that you are doing a great job! Don’t be rushing up to see us because those people are sick up there. lol. The floor hasn’t changed much except a few new faces here and a few old faces gone. Keep staying positive and it was wonderful to hear from you. Remember that the entire floor thinks about you and we can’t wait for your to get better so you can get back up there..lol.

    I was wondering about New Year’s since there was a delay in getting you admitted. I’m sorry we’ll miss that time together but we’ll make up for it when you get back! Have you eaten at Red Elephant? If so and you like it, we’ve got a date! If you haven’t eaten there yet, it’s still a date! If you have and don’t like it, we’ll go somewhere else. ;-D

    Love you, girl . . . keep that positive attitude!

    P.S. Don’t forget to pop in at EquiFriends!

    Hi Dear One. My eyes are such that I can view your web site and see what is going on. It is so wonderful that you are doing that to keep us all posted. We love you and are so-o-o-o-o happy that you are doing so well. The Lord answers prayers, and there are so many going up for you. We look forward to visiting you again. Have not formulated the plans yet, but we will get to it after Christmas. Surely wish you could be here for Christmas, but you will be with us in spirit. Love you lots.
