Tomorrow's the day I go in for my port. I've been losing a lot of sleep the last few nights, waking up and not falling back for hours and hours. I start thinking about getting my newsletters started up again shortly, what there is to do, and new ideas; and then about this next round of chemo and how I may react to it. As for the port, I'm relieved to say that a friend who went through this 11 years ago said the surgery was easy and painless, this after she'd suffered through endless needle pokes before they finally decided on using a port. (Thanks for talking with me about this, Janet.)
I'm taking it a day at a time, just like before. That seems to be the best way to get through this very last stage of the Journey.

Hi, Debbie, Doug and family,
Here you are doing wonderfully well and starting the last leg of your journey..This ordeal will soon be in your past and you will be able to go back to living your lives to the very fullest! And as Doug said in his Christmas Eve message to us (which made me cry, by the way), even though this has been a very tough time, it has given you a fresh view of how precious your lives together are.
And it has shown you how very much your family (me included) and your friends love you and how much your whole family means to all of us.
Happy New Year and much love as you prepare for tomorrow's beginnings.
Love in Christ,
Aunt Janice
