I am doing very well today! But, wow, I am tired after hanging with my mom and my aunt today. They came over for a 1st annual baking event. There wasn't much on the agenda and I rested plenty, but I certainly didn't have the energy I normally would have. I would have normally done triple what I did today AND still be going til midnight. But, wow, I am tired. But...I am not nauseous! Thank you God! So fun to not be sick. They also wrapped presents for me that were in PINK Support Breast Cancer Research wrapping paper! :) Thank you, you two!
So, my family had a decision to make this week. Do I do Chemo Tx 3 before or after Christmas? Well, we decided on before Christmas on this Tuesday, 12/20. Christmas will be day 6 out (count the first day as day 1). Taking a chance, on nausea. Please pray that I can breeze through this one.
My shaved hair is coming out, patchy, ready to be totally bald. So, I may have another pic to put up soon. I did go out today with ONLY my cotton cap, no hair. The other day, I saw a girl my age coming out of chemo. She wore her baldness well. It was inspirational for me.
On Monday, I spent the evening with AIA and CSI organizations in Louisville at the Holiday Party. (I am president of CSI.) I was glad to see a lot of my friends and folks I work with. My entourage (husband, mom, stepdad) would not let me get close to anyone for fear of germs. Its a little out of control. BUT, two weeks ago when I said my eyes hurt, was achy and had a fever- that was a random virus I picked up from being out. It was NOT chemo related. So, these days of sickness and runny noses and coughs that are going around, I am trying to be careful- thanks to them. :)
Glad to see you are having a real "girls" day baking and such. Sounds like fun and lots of laughing which is always good for the soul. It is nice to see you with your Mom and Aunt. I never knew what your Aunt Shirley looked like. Now I do. Did you know you can't make something "annual" until after the first event? Next year it will be the second annual baking event. I bet you rocked at the AIA and CSI holiday party. You looked awesome and your hair looked awesome. Keep up the spirit! Love, Connie
