     Lots of time has passed since I have had time to write.  I started a new job on the 3rd.  I am working full time at the Cancer Center of Kansas.  It has been a real adjustment to work 5 days a week.  Plus giving chemotherapy is so different from working in a hospital.  RaeAnne has had to make her own adjustments going to daycare.  She would cry everyday when I drop her off.  Mom wanted to cry all the way to work and just turn around and take her home!  It is starting to get easier.

     I have joined the NovDTC2001 quilters group.  The goal is to swap squares and wishes with our other members and then make a 100 good wishes quilt.  This is a Chinese tradition.  I wish I had known about this when we were waiting for RaeAnne's referral.  I will also swap squares with the DTC group to get enough.  Then I will have to learn how to sew them together.  Working full-time cuts into my free time.

     I have also seen my gastroenterologist who put me on some new pills for my colitis.  I hope this is the right combination
