She Was So Scared and Nervous

My Jeannette

It was June 1, 2008.  She was at St. Johns Hospital in Ventura.  I was there with her.  It was her first surgery.  Her Chemotherapy doctor advised her to have a port installed in her chest so that they could easily hook her up to IVs and not have to start a new vein every time.  So looked nervous but tried not to show it to me.  In this picture she was thinking about her grandmother who was also sick.  I told her not to worry about anything just stay positive.  It was a short stay surgery and so she was out of surgery and on the way home by 6:00 p.m.  Everything to me was done so fast.  She had appointments almost everyday.  She still managed to look after her children.  I remember her looking into her refrigerator and telling me that we had to go stock up again.  She always wanted her children to have plenty of food.  We went to a local grocery store and after that we went to the Pet store to get the dog and two cats food too.  We also stopped at Costco.  I was exhausted but she still had so much energy at that point in time.  Jeannette did no slow down until six months before she died.  She always told me that she had so much to do.  I would say to her that I would do it all for her and that she should rest.  She did but not for long.  She was an amazing mother.  Cared so much for her children.  I miss my Nettle Poodle.
