Back in Action

Phew, today I finally feel human again. Yesterday was a big improvement. Acupuncture helped quite a bit. I had a lovely lunch with my aunt Debbie and then home to recover. Today I woke up with an appetite and energy. I took the girls to school, swam laps with Jason, had a lovely lunch with my mom and shopped with her for a while. It was a lovely day, although it's now 7:30 and I'm already in my pjs ready for bed. But it's certainly progress, and boy was I ready for it.

I finished my neupogen injections last night and I sure wasn't sad to see those go. They got to be painful and just plain annoying. I have two weeks to fully enjoy myself before heading back into the fog one last time, and then it's on to Taxol - but I'm not going there yet!

This weekend is an overnight camping trip with Talia's preschool class in Tilden Park and I also get to visit with my oldest friend Laurel and her twin 2 yr olds and 6 month old baby for part of the weekend. I am looking forward to being social and active. Next week my dad comes for a visit which I am really excited for. October is in full swing.

I need to thank everyone who emailed me earlier this week when I was in the trenches feeling like dog poop. Your words of wisdom, pats on the back, virtual hugs, etc. were really helpful in reminding me that I'm not alone. If I could hug each of you in person I would do it. Having this network of support is so amazing and I can't imagine going through all of this without you. I love all of you!
