January 15 - Frustration is my muse...

SHORT REPORT: No chemo yesterday – low platelets Looks like I’ll have to go through the process again next week!!

This has been an incredibly frustrating couple of days, just trying to find some kind of normalcy in my chaotic life. I've been dealing with all the paperwork and financial concerns, which is a full time job in itself, and there does not seem to be much hope of a positive change in the near future. Although I am really fortunate to have grown children who are very capable and willing to help with anything and everything, I am still a very private and fiercely independent person and the whole "helpless" mentality is totally foreign to me. Yet, more and more I find myself with fewer options.

The low point of the week was finding out that I couldn't have chemo yesterday because my platelets were too low, although I was honestly feeling pretty badly by the time I found out and was just glad to be able to go home.

I hope you're building up platelets - it's good weather for that, I think. Nothing to do bu sit by the fire and build up platelets!

... thinking of you and wishing you the best - Jed
