Well, things have been progressing well. I am working on my
stamina every day. I find I need naps a little less, but am doing more in my
day. I feel more like myself a little everyday!
I start back up at work on Tuesday. I am very excited to go
back. It is one more step to normal life again. My boss is being very kind and
understanding. She is allowing me to come back as an extra person, so if I find
I am unable to stay at work I can leave. I am starting at the front desk so I
can learn the differences in the computer stuff and get a refresher on the old
stuff too. She is letting me pick what days I go in too. Over all they are
being very supportive in me coming back!
In other great news…I saw my bone doctor yesterday. He gave
me the best news ever. He gave me the ok to do whatever physical activity I
want, with the caveat that I ease into the activity. He told me to listen to my
body and if I start to feel pain to stop and come back and see him if necessary.
I won’t be running a marathon tomorrow, but have decided to run a 5k run at the
end of summer. Other than that I will not be going to see my bone doctor
anymore! It is bittersweet for me as he was the first doctor to tell me
anything and was the doctor who really took care of me until I started chemo. I
will miss him in the future.
I will also be going back to school in September. There
might be a chance I cannot get into the clinical side of the program though.
There are already too many people in the class I am going into. There are not
enough clinical slots for me right now. I might have to take winter quarter off
of class and do the clinical portion. That would mean I could not progress to
the next class until spring and would not graduate until December 2013. We
shall see what happens. I have decided that whatever happens is ok, even if
this does change other plans and hopes. I can only do what I can.
I am getting my survivor tattoo on Sept. 30. I am not sure
exactly what I am getting yet. I have it narrowed down to a couple of ideas. I
will see my artist after I get back from Jamaica to make the final decision. I
am super stoked and cannot wait. I do think I may get a cherry blossom tree,
but have her make it in such a way that I can add things to it later. I am
thinking that I would like to add Alan, Loki and I sitting under it at some
point and add something to it if we ever have kids.
Well that is all for today. There are lots of great things
going on right now. I am going to go make breakfast so husband and I can go on
our walk and get our day started!
