Back in the saddle

New chemotherapy started on Friday.

All went well, and the girl at the front desk didn't seem to know what she was doing, so I did not have to pay $1005.00 when I walked in the door, as I was anticipating!

We'll see what happens if the regular front desk person is back this next week!

Be that as it may, I have a fund raiser going to get the money together to pay for the deductible and out of pocket that will come due RIGHT AWAY this year.

We need our tax refund to get stuff done on the house that we had to put off last year.  We also need to be able to keep paying our normal bills, and to keep buying food.

It is no surprise at all to me how people end up homeless if they get cancer.

Help is also coming in from family members in the mail.... I can't express how much I really appreciate all of that.  THANK YOU just doesn't cut it.

The girls at the dance studio are also doing some fund raising to help out, and there is a party tonight with a $5.00 cover charge with raffles as well.  That will be fun, and all of the money goes toward my bills.

Awesome.

I am feeling pretty good so far today.  Yesterday was okay, too. Just constipated and all pink and puffy.

Today's cooking projects include getting the meat off of the chicken I roasted yesterday, and making a pot of soup, and preparing a batch of black beans to have available for this week's breakfast bowls.

We got Callie Cat rescued yesterday!

She was just as willing to get into the cat carrier yesterday as she was when we took her to the vet two weeks ago.

We dropped her off at the vet used by the rescue we were put in touch with.  They will test her for FIV and Feline Leukemia, and the rescue will pick her up, take care of her, and try to find her a home!

She is such a sweetie, but we could not justify the additional vet bills, nor could we be sure she would fit in with our cats.

She is in a much better place than under our shed!

Okay, off to start my day.  Happy Sunday!
