2. Chemo #5 today, it was at the other office as my doctor was away and I had to see someone else in his practice. I still have the fab Wendy to infuse the chemo and make me laugh. Tracy picked me up, drove me there and hung out with me, and took me to lunch after. It was great to catch up, even if I was sitting in the chair getting chemo. Having people there to chat with make the time go by faster. Another girlfriend Michele, dropped by with a Vanilla Latte for me and chatted for a while. After chemo I came home did some paperwork, watched some tv, ate dinner, more tv and caught up on blog reading.
3. My brave friend Erica had her surgery yesterday. She is home resting. She signed up for the Young Survivor Coalition 200 mile bike ride. She is forming a team and taking donations. I offered to make a donation, uhh I don't ride bikes. I do like spin classes tho..
4. One of my BFFs is coming to visit tomorrow and stay over night. I am so very excited to see Pamela and have a girls night. You know how I love girls nights.
5. I signed up for a 15K in July. I've never done a 15K so automatic PR. Its The Biggest Loser run walk and it's in Vermont. I'm super excited.
6. I have to say again that I have wonderful family and friends who have gone out of their way to do something to make my day brighter, a call from a friend who was thinking of me and went for a 5 mile run on this 5th chemo treatment day, who have brought dinners both hot/ready to eat and able to freeze for later, cards that come regularly and randomly, little packages with treats, treats from the spa, gift certificates for dinner, beautiful pandora beads, flowers, lunch, chats, friends who read your rants on social media and make calls and send emails for you I could go on and on... I am just so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family.

ReplyDeleteI didn't know you had a two hour delay. Belatedly jealous. Who is your regular doctor? Is the 200 mile bike ride in one day? I am guessing not. Where is it? That is hard core. Get a bike! Most fun ever! You live in great biking territory! I need to decide about that 15K before it fills up. Beautiful new bead. You have a lot of good friends because you are a good friend. Cute pictures of Stuart. I swam 4 days in a row. Was going to go this morning but decided to take a day off. Tomorrow I am going to try walking on the treadmill at the gym I think. I am seeing improvements but very stiff. The doctor said I might need to start with walking and I thought at the time, "Right." But, yup, I'm going to start with walking. Take care and enjoy the weekend.
ReplyDeleteYou are a pretty awesome chick.
ReplyDeleteYay. I signed up for the 15 k too!
ReplyDeleteYay! Can't wait to meet IRL!
Deleteyay for automatic PRs! takes all the pressure off!
ReplyDeleteI know this sounds crazy but a 15k is my favorite distance! I bet you will love it!
ReplyDeleteThat 15K will be a lot of fun. I really want to do a Biggest Loser race this year. It certainly sounds like you are surrounded by so many wonderful friends and family. If there's anything I can do for you please don't hesitate to ask!
