62 days til Christmas Eve!!!Wow time really flies... So chemo is officially done and I'm just living through the after effects. This includes but is not limited to: swollen feet, ankles and calves (but Rachel assures me that I don't have cankles so that's a good thing I guess..), intense hot flashes, still missing some taste buds, short walks and stairs leave me breathless, and every muscle in me aches. But I just got out of a hot candlelit bath and am sitting in front of a fireplace in jammies and a fluffy pink robe (which will be gone with the first hot flash, lol) so life, at this moment isn't too bad.
Tomorrow I go for my tatoos (no butterflies) for radiation. By Christmas this will all be a memory. Hopefully I will have hair and tastebuds by then, I know that Thanksgiving dinner sucks when you can't taste anything!
I want to thank everyone who donated to my Walk for the Cure. I raised $1015. My bosses matched everything that was donated by people I work with, which was $800 so that gave me a total of $1815. Pretty amazing people that I work for and pretty amazing friends that I have. I will never take either for granted!
Speaking of work, I'm back to my old social planner self. We're having a pot luck lunch for Halloween, organized by guess who? I can't help myself, it's what makes me happiest. I'm also in charge of our Christmas charity where we bring books in to be donated to kids who have little to celebrate at Christmas. I like that too. Funny to be thinking of Christmas already but hey, only 2 months, 62 days til Christmas Eve!!!!
Marco and I are looking to do some renovations to the condo before Christmas - new coat of paint and new doors in the foyer, a new dishwasher, new taps in the kitchen etc. Something else I like to do
As for Halloween, I think I'm going out as Uncle Fester. With no hair, eyebrows or eyelashes, it's the perfect costume! What's the sense in being bald if you can't have fun with it?
Anyway, that's about it, What's going on in everyone else's life?
Oh, Randi, check your blog, I left you a message. |
