Only One CHEMO left!!!

My 2nd to last chemo was on Friday. It went well. Not much to write about. We came home and just hung out for the rest of the afternoon. On Saturday I had a great morning. I had plenty of energy and I felt good. We went to Parkway Plaza to buy Bella some winter clothing. But as soon as soon as we were done, right about noon, I had no energy left. We came home and I napped with the girls for 2+ hours. When I woke up, I still was not at my full energy level but I was up and around. Several hours later I was back in bed and exhausted. By 6pm I was almost back to sleep.

Today has been good. I did not get out of the house but I have been up and around. Cleaning, doing laundry, helping the girls with their homework, resting, and updating my blog are some of the things that I have done today.

I cannot believe that there are only 12 more days until my last chemo - which means 12 more days until Winter Break is to begin. When I opened up my blog and saw my time ticker I really was delightfully surprised as I had not thought about how many days remained for a while. 12 short days. I was just mentioning to Ray that I can remember back to when there were 12 days until my chemo was to begin and now I am on the back end of this horrible ordeal. 6 months of possible chemo knocked down to 3 months. How time flies and how lucky I am! TOO BAD my hair will take many, many months past my 12 day mark to rebound. Everyday I have a little bit less, but I am not going to cut it. It is SO sad looking without a headband, bandana, or something to cover most of it.

We had food from Heather, Sara, and Dawn this weekend and that helped to much. Thank you!
