Monday's Update

Hello everyone. I'm not sure if there are many of you reading this anymore, but I'll write anyway. I am including a picture of me on my birthday at Outback, where they brought us this yummy sundae (perfect size!), and all of us devoured it! It didn't take too long. :) I also am putting a picture in of me with my niece who just came to visit me, Meg Adair. I will put in one more crazy picture of her with Kelsey--my favorite pictures are the funny ones, where people put on their crazy faces! So enjoy them all. :)

I am doing pretty well. We are going to the GI doctor tomorrow. As I have written, I have had some stomach problems--I am trying to watch what I eat, to see if there is any pattern as to when I start feeling badly. It's more just a yucky feeling, rather than being totally nauseated. However, yesterday at Church I felt badly and sat outside in my car for all of sacrament meeting. After a while the feeling seems to pass, but it happens more often than we would like. We don't really know the cause of it--if it is remnants of my surgery, if it's because my plumbing has been changed,or if it's just feeling badly from time to time. We would like answers, but sometimes those are hard to get.

I have been working out at the cancer center. My arms are really stiff, and it is hard for me to reach for things. So the trainer there is working with me on trying to get those muscles to stretch, and to get them stronger. I wish this "process" was over, and everything could go back to normal...but so much for wishing! Anyway, that's about it from here. I hope you all are doing well. Love always, Louise
