We spent Christmas at my in-law’s ranch in Westhoff, TX which is about 2 hours south of Austin. It was a packed house of 6 adults, 2 kids, 5 dogs, tons of good food and way too many presents. We were able to sleep in and get in some exercise to burn off a few Christmas cookies. It was a nice vacation from our normal work routine. While we were enjoying ourselves I felt bad because Emmie was having a rough week. She wasn’t eating (with the exception of stealing the other dog’s food) and had to visit the local vet for her weekly CBC. As expected, her white blood cell counts were low and she needed to be put back on antibiotics. I was doing what I could to make her feel better and eat but she wasn’t enjoying being away from her own bed, yard and routine.
I was lucky to have extra vacation days so I had taken the next week off of work as well. Emmie, Gir and myself had some nice quality time back in Austin and were enjoying the peace and quiet. By the time of Em’s next chemo her bloodwork was back to normal and thanks to beef broth she was eating again.
Dear Cancer,
I am ready and waiting. Get ready for another hit.
Love,
Emmie
PS: you still suck.
