Hello, I know it's been over a week since I updated my blog and that's a lot of time for me not to be talking! I have been getting the house ready for college returnees, summer and Craig coming home for the summer! His company has allowed him (even though he is a newbee still) to come home for the summer and work from here, so telecommuting happens across the country, wow! He was to arrive Tues night but the storms in the east and midwest (thunder and lightning oh my!) prohibited many planes from departure and his was on that cancellation list finally 3 hours after he was scheduled to depart. So he was graciously accepted back into my cousin's home for one more night and then a cab picked him up at 5AM for a 6:50 AM flight (which turned out to be 7:30 AM) and he arrived in San Diego at Noon yesterday. It is really good to have him home for the summer!
We had my Wednesday morning club over for dinner last night, we decided that we would gather for dinner the night before my treatments with our husbands, it makes for a great group and laughter and one of the husbands (I won't name you M) told me to be myself and let the group see just how round and bald my head was and so I did and they all thought and agreed that yes my head was ROUND but I looked good! The evening was a lot of fun but, I think I did this wrong...it should the evening of my Chemotherapy so that I don't have to worry about alcohol and or desserts wrecking my blood sugar totals! That was dumb but then I am not thinking all that clearly and these kinds of things pop up in my head usually after the fact.
Yes today is my 2nd session of chemotherapy and I have for the most part been in good health and still able to walk 2 miles a day about 3 times a week, make my weekly breakfast meetings, attend some graduation parties and open houses, attend my friend Leasa's appointments as she is still without a diagnosis of her condition after 3 years (will they ever stop saying "nonspecific blah blah blah") it is exhausting for her but she perseveres with a smile on her face! I am always curious to see how these days fare for me, am I going to have any reactions, are the reactions I had last time going to be worse this time, will I get some sleep tonight, and the underlying question of all what am I supposed to be learning from this bump in the road??? I do not have any answers for that...yet.
More tomorrow or Saturday depending on how I do and how I am feeling! Hugs to all, Deb
Hi Deb, I just read your whole blog and I think it sucks you are going through this after 10 years clear!
