Normally Tuesdays are devoted to lab work and scrambling to get all my errands run since it's the day of the week when I have the most energy. As a way to acknowledge the fact that I don't have to do labs OR chemo anymore, I just finished cleaning out my medicine cabinet of all the drugs I was taking the last 6 months. DISGUSTING. Zofran, Compazine, Emend, Decadron, bla bla bla. I was so excited to dump that shit out!
Sunday was my first day back in the pool since before Christmas. I was nervous about going, kept making up excuses. Jason finally convinced me I just needed to get off my ass and go (in a supportive way of course) so we went together and as soon as I hit the water and started moving, I felt better. Of course it's slow going. I only managed 10 laps on Sunday and then today I think it may have been less than that, but hey - I'm pretty psyched to say that 6 days after my last chemo I am back in the pool at all!
I have a LONG list of projects I hope to accomplish around the house in the next 2 weeks but I am also allowing myself to rest, relax and read. I have been reading some great books recently. Currently, I'm reading The Help and it's amazing. Before that was People of the Book which I also loved and before that was City of Thieves, a fun, quick read. It's nice to have room in my brain to stay focused on a story line and follow it through. That was hard while I was on AC.
Anyways, things are moving along. Two weeks from today is my surgery. I will be working on a schedule for coverage and help with the kids, etc. today and tomorrow and figuring out all the logistics. I won't be able to drive or lift Minna for two weeks which sucks, but as with everything else, I know I will get through it.
Off to lunch - more later...
