Hi Everyone, Yes I know it has been about 3 weeks since I have posted anything. I will tell you that I have relished each day knowing that I am cancer free. I have an appointment on Monday to have my port flushed out and I have an appointment on Jan 4 to have it removed. It has been the maximum amount of time since I had it flushed so I can't wait until it is time to get it removed. I am still impatient with my hair. It has grown but I don't have any bangs yet to cover the forehead. I'm sure it will be another 2-3 months before it is back to normal. My fingernails have almost grown out from their nastiness. My thumb nails are still bad but they have improved. I am still on pain meds but not as often. Certain activities really seem to aggrevate the pain. I am getting to the Y about 3 times a week. It is disheartening because where I was once lifting 60-70 lbs on certain machines I am doing 40. But I have started to see some improvement. My walking has gotten faster and more sure. After I go to the Y I am pretty depleted for the rest of the day. After the Y, I can do things but not anything very tiring. I have started back to church and the choir. I sang in our special service last Sunday which was a joy.
We are celebrating our Christmas with Scott and his girl tomorrow. They will spend Christmas morning with her family and then they will get ready to go to Chicago on the 26th. Look for them on tv on the Sunday night football game (Bears vs Vikings) they will be sitting in the end zone. So Mel and I will have a very quiet Christmas. It's ok as I am enjoying the quiet and peacefulness of wellness. I hope you have a nice weekend and if I don't write sooner a very peaceful and joyful Christmas. Love to all
