I haven't posted for two reasons. I have been very tired and have been sleeping a lot. The thought of getting the computer to post becomes a mammoth task. The other reason I shy away from posts is when I hurt. I hate always complaining and when I hurt, it's hard to be positive. My back has been in a lot of pain. I don't know the reason for the pain...lung filling up with fluid again ???, removal of chest tube ???, or pulled muscle from sleeping in a sitting up position in bed ???. The home health nurse didn't hear any fluid when she was here Wednesday, but neither did the one that was here 2 days before I had 600 ml. of fluid drained from my left lung.
I look forward to the day when I can wake up having energy, feel great and be productive. Until then, I will listen to my body and sleep/rest to build up my white platelet count.
Happy Fall...be safe if Hurricane Sandy comes our way.

THERE SHE IS . . . MRS. AMERICA!! YOU LOOK AMAZING!!!! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!
So very happy that you posted. When you didn't blog, I figured you were having a bad week, which is why I was worried. I feel so much better now, after seeing how wonderful you look! That "rest" thing is working for you - frustrating, I'm sure, but for right now, that is what your body needs - it won't always be that way.
And by the way, instead of looking at it as "complaining" - look at it as "sharing with those who care". Share your pains and frustrations with your blog followers, and let us help to carry your load. We wouldn't have it any other way! Supporting and encouraging each other does wonders not only for the supportee/encouragee, but also the supporter/encourager.
Rest and let your body heal and recover. I'll sit tight and wait 'til you are ready to share again with all of us who deeply care for you!
Don't wait a week to share your next blog, for seven days without blogging makes one week/weak . . .
Love,
Kelli
Shar,
You look beautiful in the picture. If I didn't know better I would think you are healthy,feeling sexual looking sexy and full of energy ready to go dancing. I love seeing your face. Keep hanging in there soon brighter days will be coming.
Sending all of our love your way down highway 81.
Sharon,
You truly do look amazing! I admire you for your grace and strength in a time when most people would fall apart. When I get on the computer each day your blog is the first thing I check--even before I check my Facebook page! I truly look back at my time at SHES with fond memories of you and your friendship in my times of difficulty. Know that you inspire me each and every day.

Oh, Sharon, it's so good to see your smiling face! I've missed that smile so much. It's so good to see it here!
Now, I must say that you should never worry about posting your challenges on here. We're all here to support you on this journey - through the ups AND the downs. When you share so openly with us, we know better how to direct our prayers for your healing. So unload, Sharon, we're strong enough to handle it. More importantly, I don't think there's a single person who knows you who would ever think badly of you for sharing the downs. Cancer is as much an emotional battle as it is a physical one. When you let us lift and support you with our words, WE, too, get to put on our armor and fight back those stupid dumb cancer cells!
Sending love and prayers,
Rosemary
Hi Sharon,
It is a blessing to see you! Thank you for updating us.
Please keep resting and healing. No pressure with the blog updates. Share what you can, when you can. We'll take whatever is on your heart...the good, the bad & the ugly. :)
Your back pain is understandable! Do your visiting nurses or PTs (from a few months ago) have any suggestions for relief and/or improved sleeping positions? Could the PT possibly start visiting you at home again, for pain management with your back?
Love,
Darla
Hi Beautiful Girl, How great it is to see your face. I will second and third the posts that want you to let all of us who love you to help carry your load. It is the highest calling for friends. It is a privilege for all of us (your friends) to be a resource to draw on while y are zigging and zagging these extremely tough spots. Love you, CJ
What a wonderful picture! Thinking of you in thoughts and prayers, best to you and Butch during the really tough days.
