TUESDAY MORNING
7:25 am
Delight just called so I could post early this morning. She did not want me getting in trouble with .... ----
So she sounded a whole lot better this morning. She had a more restful nights slept last night. She got the pillow she had been wanting and that seemed to help.
When they got to radiation yesterday her doctor was on vacation. She saw some retired doctor that did not know anything about her. He would not give her any different pain medicine.
Her throat is swelled from the radiation. She is having trouble swallowing her pills and eating. The doctor said that one of the reasons her chest is hurting so much is from the swelling from radiation. We thought she was going to get some relief from the radiation??
The DELIGHT-O-METER will be later today after I see her.
Have a good day

Monday Morning
Hope everyone had a good weekend. Delight's was full of visits from her family. She said she enjoyed everyone getting together.
Last night was another bad night. She said that her chest is really is causing her a lots and lots of pain. I think she said she finally got to sleep about 5:30am this morning.
Maybe the DELIGHT-O-METER is at a 3 1/2 this morning.
Terry Joe will be going with her to the doctor/radiation this afternoon. She is going to ask him about giving her some stronger pain pills.
Sorry this is so late. Delight was a little later than normal and --LISA--I do have a job that I would like to keep.
I just saw Delight---she looks better now than she did when she first got here.
Sorry I don't have anymore time now.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DELIGHT
GOOD MORNING
The current reading on the DELIGHT-O-METER is a 5.
She had a rough night with not much sleep.
Her hip has started hurting her along with the hurting still all across her chest.
She is going to try one of those wedge pillows hoping maybe she can sleep better. Does anyone have one that they are not using that she could borrow?
Don't forget to send your birthday greetings for her today. Pray a special birthday blessing for her today.
Everyone have a good day.

Birthday Lunch
Thursday is the usual Country Club Ladies Luncheon. But since the Country Club was closed, we met at AJ's. AJ's has a wonderful buffet. All you can eat...which explains why Walter showed up to join the ladies. He smirked when he sat down, thinking that he was head of the table, but we all knew he was actually the foot...We had a real reason to celebrate today. Delight's nth birthday! So, in addition to the fine food and great company, we enjoyed seeing Delight serenaded by the owner. With his accent, it really reminded me of my favorite Christmas movie, A Christmas Story, where the family ends up at the Asian restaurant for Christmas dinner after a pack of dogs destroyed the turkey and were serenaded by the kitchen staff! Hilarious. But, seriously, this guy was pretty good.
We all had a great time and Delight is looking wonderful! I also have a couple of videos and, if you guys want a good laugh, you need to see them. They're posted on my photobucket so that you can check them out. The first one, titled Cheshire Cat, I had to stop filming because I was about to crack a rib watching Judy (on the right in the video) attempt to grin her way out of the video. It's worth a look!
Update on Delight 2-1-07
Friends,
Delight has given me permission to update her blog for her whenever I have new news about her. So this is where she is at right now----The cancer that she has is from the breast cancer she had in 2002. Apparently they did not get it all.
As most of you know she has is several places on her body. The biopsy showed that the cancer is in stage 4. The place on her hip is in the socket. It is a weird shape but thought it was about the size of a quarter. She has not had hardly any pain in her hip. She is getting a double dose of radiation on her hip. Radiation is also being given on the place on her breastbone. (this place is about the size of a golf ball) This is the place that had been causing her so much of her pain. She has gotten some relief already on this place from the radiation. That is good news!!
The last week in February Delight will be going to MD Anderson in Houston. They want her to finish her radiation treatments that she started in Texarkana before going down.
Chemo will not be started in Texarkana due to her going to MD Anderson. They may have a different option for her.
I would like to thank everyone for your messages to Delight. She is reading everyone of them. I also would like to encourage you to leave her more than one message. Please do not just leave only one. Every bit of encouragement that we can give to her helps a lot. Even if you just say a daily hi or that you were thinking about her--would help. Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to leave a message.
Don't forget tomorrow is her birthday Feb. 2.
Delight wanted me to tell everyone THANK YOU for all the food. Terry Joe THANKS you, too. Everything has been delicious!! It has been a great help to them. If you are interested in taking food please contact either Lisa or Tonya. We have a schedule for the food so they will not be overwhelmed with to much food.
If you have a question or concern about Delight---please post it. We will try and get you an answer to it. I am sure you will be hearing from Delight soon. I am just trying to help her out so she will not be having to answer the same questions over and over. She gave me the liberty to say whatever I wanted!!!!! SO................
Lisa calls me every morning to check and see how Delight is feeling. We have come up with the
"DELIGHT-O-METER" ........0-10 scale.........with 10 being tops. This includes how does she look, feel, sleep the night before just a over all picture of her. Today is rates a 9. She looks good and she said that she had a restful night of sleep last night. I will try to put a rating out every morning.
She has a radiation treatment today at 2:50. Johnice and Theron will be taking her today to her appointment. Delight thinks she can take herself to her treatments (we all know she could) but she doesn't realize we all WANT to take off work alittle early so we can take her. Delight just does not realize how many people LOVE her and do not mind taking her. She is a TRUE friend and we all LOVE her so much and will do anything to help her out during this time. If you want to drive her a day please again contact either Tonya or Lisa. Delight we know you can drive yourself but just let us help you out. We are ALL willing. We don't mind leaving our jobs early. Right?
I just wanted everyone to know that I will strive to have all the information correct that I will be reporting to you. I am not good at this at all so just bear with my missspelled words or sentences that are hard to understand. I slept or talked during my English classes in school. Maybe Carla needs to be doing this.
Thank you for your prayers for my WONDERFUL friend Delight. I know God is in control and HE knows Delight and is taking very good care of her. He knows that she is a DELIGHT to all that Love and Know her. Please continue your prayers for her and her family.
