Can you be tired but yet so full of life at the same time?

After four surgeries, numerous scans, x-rays, five months of chemotherapy, twenty-eight radiation treatments, neuropathy, constipation, loss of vision, loss of memory, lack of clarity (chemo brain), aches, pains, head aches, early menopause, losing the girls and more that I can't even remember it is finally just about over, after 11 long months.  I'm tired...mentally, physically and emotionally.

Today after the call came that they had given the brain CT and P.E.T. a look over it appears all is clear I started crying.  Rocky was absolutely baffled he asked "aren't you happy".  Funny after 26 years wouldn't he recognize those were happy tears?  Maybe he was in shock as well. 

I'm fighting my second sinus infection in the past 2-months and am tired and not feeling so well....BUT once those antibiotics kick in and my body heals from that and todays surgery it is full-steam ahead!!!  Watch out world Lori is coming back! That is a promise.

Thank you all for the prayers, hugs, positive thoughts and also donations .  With the genrosity of so many I have a account set up that helps pay the tremendous  expenses that comes with this fight. But please NO MORE donations!  Please consider giving to a very dear friend Mike Smith as he rides in the memory of his wife Karen, in this years Pelotonia Bike Ride.  Find out more at http://www.mypelotonia.org/riders_profile.jsp?MemberID=108230

As much as I wish the journey was over still have a little more to go.  Will meet with the plastic surgeon next week and determine the time-line for the next leg in this adventure.

Hugs to everyone for your support.
