Over the last 5 months I have started a new Career, lost my mother in law to a stroke, sent our son JT off to College, came home to a water heater break and flooded home, been living in the Residence Inn for over 2 months and Celebrated a Birthday Post Chemo.
Starting a new Career has been so great for me, a blessing and so fun. A great friend offered to train me in becoming a bookkeeper and Office Manager. I have loved it and learned so much.
We lost the Matriarch of the Sarmiento Family, please read the Post "Martina Bagaman Sarmiento, Till We Meet Again".
Taking my son to school was bitter sweet. I know I can call him and skype him anytime however this is just a preparation for his Mission. JT is doing so great and we had a fun road trip getting there. As always funny things happen along the way but thats what make for fun family stories and laughs.
I return home with Dillon after our road trip to BYU-Idaho to find that Kenny and Makayla had cleaned the home from top to bottom for me. Not a speck of dust, furniture all in place and nothing on the floor. The next day I went to work, picked up Dillon after school then opened the front door to find our home was a Steam Bath.....our hot water heater pipe had broke and blew a hole through our Master Closet and Suite as well as flooded the kitchen and two hall ways. Luckily we have renters insurance. We have been at the Residence Inn now for nearly 3 months waiting for the Landlord to fix what needs to be done so we can move back in, which isn't looking so great now. We have decided to move into another home but thats not as easy as one would think.
I Celebrated my 46th Birthday yesterday but it wasn't just any Birthday, it was the first Post Chemo Birthday. I have learned that my life has a new normal for everything. Tuesday I woke up feeling a little like I was going to get a cold, by 1pm I was feeling really sick so I emailed my Oncologist with my symptoms. She told me to go to the Dr now!!! By 6pm I as so sick the Dr put me on ZPack, Ear Drop Antibiotics and cough medicine (that made me sick to my stomach....yuk). The Dr said my immune system is so low that any normal bug that one would be able to fight off could turn in to pneumonia for me quite quickly. I am frustrated that I can't just fight off a bug, I can't just lose the weight that I put on over the last year, I can't get rid of my new condition Lymphodema. BUT I am thankful for everyday I have on this earth and intend on making the best of each day. I am so grateful for my loving and wonderful Husband Kenny, my amazing children and extended family.
This week last year I started my Chemotherapy, this week this year I have Hair, Happiness, Hope, Life and an Amazing Family.
