Wel, the second Chemo treatment is now history. My facebook status yesterday pretty much summed it up: I now have a "professional porcelain bus drivers license" ! Well, yippee.
Having said that I must say that it was not nearly so bad as last time. And I am having trouble remembering to take my anti-nausea drugs so perhaps I am either getting used to this stuff or what they gave me during chemo works better? Can't imagine it would work this long though, so who knows! I know I am just grateful that I feel better earlier.
Today I get to begin the 'leather journal making' class offered through the "Arts in Medicine" an AB Cancer board workshop. I have managed to talk Glenda into coming to this as well. It is a 6 week program and I am really eager to learn yet another craft, but this is one that I think I will utilize as we will learn a traditional book binding method. Always transferable to fabric!
I also hope to squeeze in a stop at Fabricland, looking for a jacket pattern for Mr Milo. Janna seems to lose his jackets fairly frequently and what better way to use up my 'flourescent' fabric than on a jacket that she will lose after the first wearing? There are a couple of other items I should look for at Fabricland but what they are are totally escaping me at the moment. Hopefully I will remember while I'm there, if not it will have to wait.
I haven't been sleeping well as I'm stewing over moving this weekend. While it will be good to have all my 'junk' under one roof, it is sad to see the end of my 'on my own year' but I know this is likely not a permanent move for me, but I guess time will tell. At this point I am really working hard at not saying what may or may not happen but instead letting myself 'go with the flow'. And its odd, I always thought I was really good at that but it turns out I am not so good at it. But I'm getting better :-)
Many many thanks to everyone who calls, emails, drops by for visits or who just drop me short notes. I cannot tell you how much this is appreciated. Especial thanks to Denise for giving up her Thursday to cook a wonderful meal for us, as well as several dishes that are now in my freezer ready to eat. And her Thursday time was probably much more time than that as she researched a ton of cookbooks to find me healthy, cancer fighting food recipes (including many that contain chocolate). Also thanks to Joanne for sharing Easter dinner with us, my sister for sending said Easter dinner already cooked. Many thanks too, to Lisa for driving me to chemo and letting me beat her at cards. And those of you who know me well, know that i am not very good at card games, I seem to lack the competitive gene LOL
Anyway, I better post this now as I need to go have a nap before heading out to my course. Thanks again for following along with me, and thanks again for all your support!
