End of Year sum-up

12/17/2011

Mission now:  PHYSICAL FITNESS!!!

I started walking and dong weight loss programs on the exercise bike this week.  Overdid it a little on the walking…I aggravated my sacroiliac. WAH!!!  So, now I’m seeing my chiropractor to un-aggravate it.

12/23/2011

Saw Dr. Taylor (my wonderful bone cracker) 3 times this week and feel better.  It will take another week to get back to exercise shape though.  Sometimes we want things too much and over shoot our goals.

Today is a day for remembrance… Beautiful Maureen…today is her year anniversary, as well as ours for mourning.  I’m gonna head to South Jersey to see the folks overnight then bring them back up here for a 3-night 4-day stay over at the Marriott up the street for Christmas weekend.  It’ll be a mini-getaway for them and bring the family together for Christmas.

I VERY THANKFUL to see this Christmas and look forward to the NEW Year ahead.  What wonders will it bring?  My eyes look to the future in anticipation.

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!!

Her EVER Smiling Face

Today was MY LAST DAY OF RADIATION!!!!!! 
The END to a heck of a year.
I am THANKFUL for all my supporters and Loved ones always there to BOOST ME UP and help me out!!  It would have been a truly miserable year without YOU ALL!

12/1/2011 -- OK...one more time!

HAPPY DECEMBER!!
Whelp, tomorrow was SUPPOSED to be the last boost of radiation day, BUT…this past Monday I saw the doctor before my scheduled boost.  It was then she confirmed what I pretty much already knew (and dreaded).  I had severe radiation burn. WAH!  Yeah, it hurt reeeaaaalll bad -- enough to send me into tears over the Thanksgiving weekend and drop some pain killers.

I used the silvadene cream and gauze along with saline soaks as directed and a week later I am 90% healed!  So, the lighter side now is I should be BACK on track and FINISH treatments next week!!!  Just in time to enjoy the upcoming parties. 

Also on the light side….my hair is now growing faster.  I am up to a half inch!!  Yep, the same as it was 48 years ago.  Wow...it's been that long?!?!?  (pun intended)
