Good morning! Why is no one up? Wait...why am I up?
Yesterday was a good and busy day. Not busy for the old Julie but busy for me now - a - days. Both of our sons - in - law 's birthdays...Happy birthday to Dana and Ryan. We stopped in for a 'bit' at Ryan's birthday dinner and we ended up staying for a couple of hours. It was a lot of fun and so much laughter! Ryan's mom and grandmother were there from California.
I was having a case of the 'hot feet' all day. The soles of my feet felt hot, hot, hot! They were bright red and it felt like I was walking on prickly coals all day. Owch comes to mind! My finger tips, I mean the very tips just before the nail end, felt almost like I had a chemical burn. Sort of like when I used to do lots of perms and bleach hair in one day when I worked in a salon...and did not wear gloves.
It is very interesting all the changes that my body is going through. I feel like every day there is something new. Not horribly bad but new. Maybe am just becoming aware of the fact that this is some heavy duty stuff that is happening. It still seems very surreal to me.
The week right after chemo, I can't eat much so by the end of the week my pants are baggy and then after that, EVERYTHING tastes like it was made especially for me by the GODS ;) Tight pants not such a good feeling...but then it's time for chemo again and the cycle starts all over. I guess it is not so bad to start out a little 'portly' in case I start to waste away...HA!
Happy Mothers Day all you women flashlights ( I have some men flashlights too).
Happy Mothers Day Summer and Whitney...I am so proud of the women you have both become and what amazing mothers you are to my grandchildren.
I used to call my mother and ask her how she was doing, she would respond "I'm still keeking", without her accent it would be "I'm still kicking". This is my story, my thoughts in the middle of the night when I am alone or the middle of the day surrounded by loved ones but still alone in my mind. You are only as sick as your biggest secret and I'm pretty sick(in more ways than one,tee hee!). So this blog is going to show you what goes on in the mind of a REAL Macho Woman! scarey.
