After a rough couple of weeks, I think/hope I am finally beginning to feel a bit better. Since I've been down for so long, I'm not really sure how good I actually feel. Anything had to be better than the past few weeks. I feel like I have more energy though, so that's a start. I feel less drugged out, so that's good too. Especially when I am driving.
My counts are low right now though, so I still need to be careful and not push myself thinking that I am 'normal'. Far from it. But that's nothing new...even without cancer or chemo.
Sean is in town to visit his Mom. She is still in the hospital after her chemo treatments for leukemia (she had her last one on Friday). I plan on seeing him tomorrow after work, and maybe going to see her if my doctor says it's okay for me to walk into a hospital with no immune system. I walk into work and into grocery stores like this, so surely a hospital will be okay.
Our family get-together yesterday for Tracy's birthday was a great time. Bad camera person that I am, I forgot to take my camera...but take my word, my nieces are just SO gorgeous. I was amazed that when I hugged Jordan I barely had to bend over, she's almost as tall as Tracy and I...and she's only 10. She's definitely going to outgrow us soon, which with the women in our family really isn't saying much.
Nothing is on the horizon appointment- or test-wise other than my weekly bloodwork and then chemo again on November 12th. So hopefully I'll get a good couple of weeks/weekends in before that. I am looking forward to being able to enjoy Thanksgiving this year. That makes me happy because Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday (along with Fourth of July).
