Day 2 of Chemobama.
I got platelets yesterday and 4 pints of blood today. It's helped with the breathlessness. Sis #1 brought her amazing muffins and Sis #2 is going to drop off some laundry and maybe dinner. I love my family so so very much. I'm completely blessed.
Thanks for the comments. They really mean so much to me. This has been really hard and I"m sooo so missing my sweet bird-talker. She still doesn't know the full extent of all of this. My heart is breaking over that, but I don't know if she's ready to understand that I might not see her for months.
I'm still big time black and blue and it's getting worse. I got some lasix today and man, it was crazy pee pee day too.
I'm going for a walk today. I may not be able to answer all comments and email, but thank you Interwebs. You still rock and I still love you all very very much.
I can do this. I have the POWAH of Chuck Norris.
Your assignment today is to leave me your favorite Chuck Norris joke. I also would appreciate the spreading of the word. I am back to taking the donations for the deb_fund because my insurance fell through. We are hoping to fix it on Monday because it is totally a clusterfuck. Also thanks so much for the prayers for my family. It's so hard on them, although this time I'm still pretty scared and trying not to be. But knowing what all I am facing is skeeving me out. My hair texture is already changing from the chemo. Next it will fall out. *whimper* I wish Shoshie was here so she could paint something lovely on my bald head.
Ok. My walk is waiting! Love love.
Posted by debutaunt at November 22, 2008 07:22 PMDeb - don't worry about answering comments - we know you love us. Just concentrate on doing exactly what the docs tell you and try to take it ONE day at a time. Sorry I don't know any Chuck Norris jokes !
Many great big hugs and hundreds of prayers . . .
Sending lots of good wishes and prayers for you and your family... and as requested, one of my favorites from ChuckNorrisFacts.com ('cause I can't pick just one):
"Chuck Norris grinds his coffee with his teeth and boils the water with his own rage."

They once made a Chuck Norris toilet paper, but it wouldn't take shit from anybody.
I would be scared too, but I hope you can dig down deep and know you have a zillion people who love you, pray for you, and are on this journey
with you.
XO

Chuck Norris has counted to infinity - twice.
Chuck Norris kicked Neo out of Zion, and now Neo is “The Two”.
Chuck Norris is the reason why Waldo is hiding.
When the Boogeyman goes to bed, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.
Deb - Chuck Norris definitely has the POWAH, and so do you!
Much love,

If this doesn't make you laugh outloud, I can always try harder:

Ok---some quickies (I love Chuck Norris jokes!):
Chuck Norris is suing Myspace for taking the name of what he calls everything around you.
Some people like to eat frogs' legs. Chuck Norris likes to eat lizard legs. Hence, snakes.
Chuck Norris's show is called Walker: Texas Ranger, because Chuck Norris doesn't run.
If Chuck Norris were a calendar, every month would be named Chucktober, and every day he'd kick your ass.
Do you know why Baskin Robbins only has 31 flavors? Because Chuck Norris doesn't like Fudge Ripple.
Chuck Norris once went skydiving, but promised never to do it again. One Grand Canyon is enough.
You said only one fave, didn't you? Sorry!
I can't narrow them down to only one...and trust me, I wanted to add a dozen more.
Chuck it, I say!
*smiles* to you,

Chuck Norris is not hung like a horse... horses are hung like Chuck Norris.
(Who knew there were millions of Chuck Norris jokes? See how you broaden our horizons?)

Posted by: mrtl at November 23, 2008 02:54 AMIf paper beats rock, rock beats scissors, and scissors beats paper, what beats all 3 at the same time? Answer: Chuck Norris.
Much love and good vibes to you, sweetheart. I'm thinking of you and your family and am spreading the word.
Be strong, because you are strong!

Chuck Norris knows the last two digits of Pi
Painting something on your head sounds wonderful. I am not an artist. Though I could paint a stick figure and a pretty lame flower :-)
Posted by: Missy at November 23, 2008 09:48 AMChuck Norris slams revolving doors.
I will be there when you call. I have a couple short cases tomorrow morning. If you leave me a text and your room number, I'll come see you. Or not. Just know that I'm standing right next to you all the time. Love you! You can do this!
Hi Deb, I sending you a big hug and I have my whole church praying for you.
You can do this.....I know you can.
Love to You!
Posted by: Paula -AZ at November 23, 2008 02:20 PMSorry, I'm going to inundate you with Chuck Norris jokes. :D
Chuck Norris once roundhouse kicked someone so hard that his foot broke the speed of light, went back in time, and killed Amelia Earhart while she was flying over the Pacific Ocean.
Rather than being birthed like a normal child, Chuck Norris instead decided to punch his way out of his mother's womb. Shortly thereafter he grew a beard.
Chuck Norris sold his soul to the devil for his rugged good looks and unparalleled martial arts ability. Shortly after the transaction was finalized, Chuck roundhouse kicked the devil in the face and took his soul back. The devil, who appreciates irony, couldn't stay mad and admitted he should have seen it coming. They now play poker every second Wednesday of the month.
Chuck Norris was the fourth Wiseman. He brought baby Jesus the gift of "beard". Jesus wore it proudly to his dying day. The other Wisemen, jealous of Jesus' obvious gift favoritism, used their combined influence to have Chuck omitted from the Bible. Shortly after all three died of roundhouse kick related deaths.
Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.
I know you can roundhouse kick this crap in the face again. Go Deb!
Posted by: Jessica at November 23, 2008 08:23 PMNot necessarily my favorite, but it sure spoke to me tonight:
Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.
Because Chuck Norris (aka ChemoBama) is gonna kick your leukemia's ASS!!!
You can do this, Deb!!!! Thank you so much for the texts. I feel honored, but do NOT expect you to respond. Just know that I'm gonna keep sending Love and Light and Chuck Norris stuff all the time, lady!
I love you!!!!!
Posted by: shayna at November 23, 2008 08:50 PMHi Deb-
I have been reading your blog for awhile now. Stumbled upon it one day. Your journey has been and continues to be an inspiration to me. You are in my prayers as is your family and your precious little one.
Peace
Terry
I already subimtted my stolen Chuck Norris quote.
This is a goodnight message, and prayers for Zoe and the rest of your family. You are the top "dog"
Posted by: claire at November 23, 2008 10:04 PMBeen getting updates on you from Shayna and have been praying for you everyday. May you be wrapped up in a blanket of peace and rest.
Joke:
Instead of having a cigarette after sex, Chuck Norris heads outside and brands his cattle.
:D
