And Life Goes On...

It's been awhile since I last wrote. I guess when you get to feeling well, time flies! For the first time since surgery I was able to take care of myself and my kids all by myself, which was a big step. Just when I was starting to heal up from surgery I had to get my first saline fill, which put me back a couple of steps and kept me from lifting Aiden...then chemo knocked me out for a week and a half...and honestly I still don't think I am suppose to be lifting more than 5 lbs. BUT I am proud to say I was able to have a pretty "normal" weekend :) It was so nice to be able to do my own laundry and get back to a routine. The appreciation for all the help my family and friends have given me over the last month and a half cannot even be expressed in words. And Sunday, while I was out to lunch with the kids, I actually started crying....right there in the middle of CiCi's...lol...my daughter probably thought I was going crazy. But it all hit me, as I looked at Aiden making a mess with his pasta noodles, and Bella sat there and told me about how much she liked her new posters in her room....I broke down....but not because I was sad, more because I was happy...because I AM happy. I am so happy that I am healthy enough to enjoy my wonderful kids, to be able to go to work, to do the little things that make my life great. So as I headed to my aunt's house to watch football, I thanked God for my health...and I know that might sound strange since I have cancer and am not the "healthiest" I have ever been...but at the end of the day, I am here and I am HEALTHY and HAPPY :) This week is not my favorite....have a saline fill into my expanders on Tuesday....Oncology appt and bloodwork on Thursday....Chemo on Friday. But I am trying not to look at the bad. Gonna focus on the good...have a friend teaching me Acoustic Guitar,  my favorite show GLEE on Tuesday and an web interview tonight to be part of a book on young cancer survivors...PLUS my Race for the Cure commercial is airing this month on Channel 9. Lookaloting at it this way make my week look alot nicer! Will be blogging soon about my second chemotherapy treatment...wish me luck!

P.S. My hair is thinning but hasn't completely fallen out yet...so when it does, be looking for the pretty bald pictures :)
