It's Been 2 Months...


It’s been two months since my treatments ended.  I didn’t know if I’d have more to say, but of course I do!  Loquacious is my middle name after all! :) 

We all make New Year’s Resolutions, hoping to make ourselves better people.  I now realize how futile they really are when prayers for a better and healthier year are what we should be making.  So, this year, 2012, I pray it to be a better and healthier year.

I’ve been getting iron infusions these past 2 weeks.  Yep, good ‘ole chemo isn’t done with me yet!  I became anemic, so I’m getting these IV’s to refill my body’s iron tank (which was ¼ full in January!).  I have 3 to go and that should do it.  If not, I go for some more.  So, being tired these past couple months, passing out after working for a day…yeah, anemia does that to yah.  At least I know there’s a reason.

I’m working some days at the school and using those stairs to help get my leg and knee muscles back in shape!  I feel so weak and unfamiliar to myself.  When I can get up those stairs without stopping, then I know I can re-join Curves and start to REALLY build my muscles up!

Chris took me to St Thomas as an end-of-treament+birthday+Christmas present!  BOY WAS IT GORGEOUS!!!!  We had a very relaxing time and I got my sun and sand!  I missed that last year – sun, sand, getting my hands dirty in the garden, and all the other things I do in the sun.  Here are some pictures, http://www.tiny9.com/u/my_pix.
