Last night had minimal sleep and knew upon arising that, once again, I was dehydrating. I know it is happening and can't seem to stop it! Now is the time I should be feeling better and that is just not the case! Finished with morning patients and then headed to oncology for IV fluids and Zofran for the nausea...Thank God for ports!! Spent a couple of hours there, met the new Nurse Practioner at Central Jersey Oncology. Her name is Dr. Susan Doyle, I beleive. I must say...she was great! Came back to the house/office and began to see patients! Saw our FAVORITE patient, Lou, who as many of you know has been in a battle with Pancreatic cancer for going on 2 years. Getting around is getting more difficult for Lou and we all need to put our prayers out there for him! When I see Lou I feel guilty for not feeling stronger. He keeps fighting each day. I cry when he leaves...knowing that our days together may not be long. We have all become so close with the family that they now feel like our family! Lou and I went through chemo and our cancer battles together...I know I have a better chance of winning the battle then Lou does but he still takes a moment to worry about me...to thank us, to tell me he loves me. Don't know what I am going to do when we can't have those moments!
So the thing I do for Lou, for Nancy, for Aunt Jackie, for all the people like us that are battling this horrible disease, to make it livable for me...I push this foundation. I push it with all that I am. I work late into the night making flyers, searching for ideas for fundraisers, searching for ways to reach the people who need this the most!
I have to believe that everyday gets a little better and that I will be here for a very long time for my family, friends and for this foundation that has grown to be a part of me.
When I see Lou, Nancy and Aunt Jackie struggling it just makes it more necessary that we all PUSH forward and make this foundation THE FOUNDATION that everyone knows and talks about and donates to!! We have the ability to help those that need it the most, when they need it the most....day by day!
I will try to sleep now...pray for sleep...Pray that Lou feels a little better tomorrow so he can have more quality time with his family....Love you Lou!!
