6 Weeks of Iron

So on 4/24 I got the call that I needed iron infusions, and I finally had my 1st one yesterday, 5/8. And I have to get 5 more treatments - doesn't that sound fun? It's actually no big deal. It's not painful or anything, but the sense memories sitting in that chemo chair brings back... not terribly comfortable. The smells there, sitting in the chair, being around all those other people receiving chemo... It's difficult.

Last week Tuesday I went to Salty Senorita's on Cinco de Mayo, to sell beads and glow bracelets. My thanks to the staff there and Tony the GM, for being so accomodating and pleasant to work with. They have great people there.

My friend Linda met me there to help out and we raised $176.00. I'll be putting my share on my site soon, and once Linda gets her site up I'll post hers. I was hoping to do way more, but it amounted to about $25/hour for both of us, which isn't bad at all. I really thought we'd do better, as everything we were selling was for $1.00, and most people can at least spare $1.00, but there just wasn't enough interest I guess. Maybe the location wasn't the best. We were in old town Scottsdale, and there were a lot of young, college-age kids. Next time, if there is a next time, maybe we'll hit up a Chandler or N. Scottsdale location, somewhere with more adults and more money.

Though we didn't do as well as I had hoped, we had more than what we started with, and that's something. Every dollar counts. :)
