Hi To All,
Well we have had another busy week!

Monday - My old roommate Lisa came to spend the week. She felt so bad she wanted to
help out so much. She ended up with the stomach flue. Thank goodness none
of us got it. Brenda told her when she left on Tuesday not to worry there
would be other times we will need her help. Thank You Lisa for the help.
I am looking forward to spending time with you later.
Tuesday - Mom and Dad graciously picked up the slack. Thank you so much for being
so available.I had to have a colonpostapy today all went well in that
department. Darren spent the morning with me at the hospital. Dad took me
to the grocery store to pick up some grocery's while mom entertained baby
and scrubbed my floors just like I do. Perfection does not fall far from
the tree. Thanks Mom!
Thank You all for being there for me!
Wednesday - Darren had to go to the farm and work. Mom & Dad stayed till 4:00 to
help me with Junell. At 9:00AM I had an appointment with the oncologists
gynecologist at the cancer clinic. He will take another look at my file
after I have had a few session's of chemo. He did answer a lot of my
questions. At 11:45 Dad, Mom & I had to take Junell to Dr. Singh for her
1 Year check up. If only I could get as chubby as her! The lady from
palliative care came over at 2:30 to get things in place for later on. I am
hoping I don't need a whole lot from this service. My girlfriend's & old
roommate's came over at 4:00 so Mom and Dad could get back to Humboldt
before dark. Thanks a million Bonnie & Karen for helping tidy the house
up and helping with Junell till Darren got home.
Thursday - Darren went to work at the farm. My sister Brenda & Brother in law Al
came in from Humboldt to help out. They took me for my mammogram at 9:15.
We went to Toys are Us for Junell's Christmas gift and a birthday gift
for her friend Jessica in Kenaston. At 11:30 she had her first
appointment with Dr. Peirce. Things went well Thank you Brenda for
finding Junell such a great Doc. Dr. Singh is probably going to retire
soon and I felt It was important to have Junell on board with a new doctor
sooner than later.We came back to the house and Darren & Al packed up the
van. Brenda & Al took Junell back to Humboldt for the weekend. I cried
her and I haven't been away from each other for more than a day.
Friday - Well first thing this morning I did was called grandma to see how Junell was.
Like there would be a problem she was talking a mile a minute in the
background. I guess she comes by that honestly enough. Ha! Ha! I was
missing he so I decided to get out of the house for awhile. I took my
car to the repair shop then stopped in at work to say Hi. It was great to
get out and take my mind off of things. My friend Bonnie came over and
helped me with a few things around the house that needed a woman's
expertise. I got Darren to vacuum the furnace & vents. Thanks for all he
help! Grandma S came for tea and dropped of a cooler for our trip. She
said it felt strange without Junell here. So I guess we all miss her.

Well this sums up my week. I still miss Junell! Today Darren & I are going to the
spa in Moose jaw with some friends Hip Hip Hooray! It will be so nice to get away and take our minds off of things for awhile. I start Chemo om Monday and with all the tests this week we may possibly have a answer where it started from. They booked another CT scan for Dec 10. I will try to update tomorrow. I have to finish packing, call Junell and we are off. We are meeting my Uncle Eddie & Auntie Carol for lunch in Moose Jaw before we check into the hotel. Thank you Jan, Donna, Joe & Dallas for going to Moose Jaw! I'm not even there yet and I am excited. Thank you grandma & grandpa, Brenda & Family & Coleen & Family for taking good care of Junell
while we are gone.

Have a Happy Birthday Grandpa Hendriks & Cole Painter tomorrow. I hope Junell makes your day!
Sorry we can't be there!

You are all the best!!!!!!!
God Bless
Love Donna
