Now I totally understand what a support animal does. Having Ellie these past few days has taught me something. When she is in my lap or sleeping with me I feel calmer and more relaxed. Petting her and all is well with the world. She may even sense that I need her right now. Either way it's a win, win.
Yesterday I spent the afternoon with my daughters shopping and having lunch. It was just what I needed. We didn't talk about cancer of treatments or anything. We just enjoyed our time together.
I finally get to buy little girl dresses. Dillard'a had a huge sale and I bought Piper 3 outfits and a darling little blouse. The girls and I took them to her after we finished shopping and she was as thrilled as a 3 year old who hasn't had a nap all day. Maybe after a good night's sleep she will be more impressed. (ha ha)
Today I think my appetite is returning. I can actually imagine eating. The one thing is that I'm ready to get on with this fight. I can't believe I have to wait 9 more days for the PET scan and then another week before I see the doctor. I want to pass GO and go straight to the cancer center and see an oncologist. But I'm sure they would order a PET scan as well and at least we already have that in the works.
We have icy roads and sidewalks. I will not be venturing out for anything today!
