I've been bad lately, not having posted a blog entry in a while. I've either been getting distracted by projects or not feeling so well, and neither of those scenarios really make me good about writing a blog. But, here I am now! Better late than never!
I'd like to cover what has been going on in the past few weeks, but as I think I've said chemo brain is no myth, so things fly in and out of my head as they please. Ohhhh, memorieeeeees.
The last round of chemo was hard for me, knocked me down pretty bad. I didn't really even have the energy to walk up steps, let alone go out and do anything. It was really nice having a week off last week. I tried to make the most of it. Went out for a few meals, enjoyed not being so tired, went for walks, etc. I started my third round of chemo this past friday. So far, *knock on wood*, I feel a bit better than I did during the last round. I am still very tired though. I was in the other room making some cat toys and trying to be productive, which is definitely better than I can say about the last round. So, at least I'm not laying on the couch. Pierre and I had some fun product testing a little bit ago.
I got the word from my doctor yesterday that my CA2729 is down again to 41 :) (normal range is up to 40) So i'm getting there! I was very stoked to have gotten that news.
I started doing Reiki weekly with one of my doctors, Leah. I have found this to be such an amazing form of therapy. It is the one time in the week when I can really find myself in a calm place, I can let go of everything I may fear and have anxiety about, and I can just breathe and focus on healing. For me, its better than a massage. I'm so grateful for the chance to be able to that every sunday. (Hopefully it'll help offset some of the stress that sundays will bring now that football season is back on! ha ha)
Since I've been spending tons of time around the house, here are some cute kitty pictures
I've been getting some really great cards and emails from so many of you, I really appreciate them all! I'm sorry if i'm bad about calling back and such sometimes. My heart warms every time I read them and they always brighten my day.
There are a few other things I need to write about, but I've done about as much sitting in front of my computer as I can do for the moment. Its a really gorgeous day outside so I'm going to try to get myself out there for a walk.
Love,
Linds
