Monday Afternoon.....October 8th

3rd day of healing..."bump day"...

Today we cancelled the flight to Mexico for the wedding...Linda just isn't up to the trip...it was her decision....and a very reluctant but wise one....she regrets not having the two weeks of healing back that would have made the trip possible.

Yesterday was the closest she has come to wanting to go back to the hospital...the pain increased dramatically late in the day and she was nauseated. Today she got nauseated again...but the pain is manageable. I've given her everything there to give prescription wise. Things are just too unstable to think about going anywhere.....my hope is that tomorrow thing start to turn to the better...they said today might be the worst after the last radiation session....and they did say it will take 3 to 4 months to get back to feeling somewhat normal. They also said she might feel like eating something in 10 to 14 days..slowly at first.

That's about it...

You will be missed greatly, both of you, but I'm glad you're making a decision that is best for YOU! You have two more unmarried children, there may be a chance for you to mother-of-the-bride/groom at the wedding YET in your future!!

I love you tons and will take lots and lots of pictures. Love, Janine

I'm so sorry to hear about the pain! I know both of you will get through this and Linda will start feeling better in the next couple of days - and when she starts eating more her recovery will move quickly! Looking forward to seeing you in Florida in a few months!!!!!! Dave & Mindy

LINDA SO SORRY YOU ARE GOING TO MISS THE WEDDING, BUT AM SURE YOU KNOW YOU ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING. YOUR WHOLE FAMILY KNOWS THAT IF IT WERE POSSIBLE, YOU WOULD BE THERE. YOUR RECOVERY IS MOST IMPORTANT TO ALL AND RESTING AND HEALING IS BEST DONE AT HOME. I CAN'T EXPRESS HOW AT AWE I AM WITH YOUR COURAGE AND STRENGTH..SENDING YOU MUCH LOVE...

Your body let you know that you need time to heal before hitting the friendly skies. Travel is wearing enough when we are in tip-top shape! Sending you healing energy....Marilyn

Hugs to you Linda and Dave. You are both very strong and you will beat this cancer. Each day as your body gets stronger and stronger you will know that your tenacity has paid off. Just focus on getting well and know you aren't walking alone. There are many, many folks who love and care about you who are walking beside you (even though we may physically not be there), we are with you every step of the way. Don't ever forget how much you are loved.
