Well, the final stretch promises to be the hardest. Chemo was Wednesday, and I haven't felt good since then....ACK! It's very frustrating to wake up each morning feeling just as gross as the day before. Less than a month left.... I'm hoping that my Christmas present is that I feel somewhat normal and that I have a bit more energy.
Ryan has been very helpful, and Tessa is in high spirits, so that helps. I love my family.
Tomorrow we will leave for Portland to visit with Ryan's parents - Ryan's dad had a procedure done last week and we want to go to visit and support them and show them that we care. (There was no possibility of our traveling for Thanksgiving because of the Wednesday chemo appointment, so we're going early, and heading home Tuesday.) I'm hoping that, because it's the second half of my cycle, I'll be feeling a bit stronger for the trip. We are looking forward to seeing family and our Portland friends, Scott, Karen, and Fiona. (Tessa is particularly excited to play with Fiona.)
Today we're laying low, and our "big" activity is a trip to story time at Barnes & Noble for Tessa...a quiet day.
Yesterday evening we got the news that Linda and Gary had their baby! Rex was born a couple of weeks early, much to his mother's delight, and the family is happy and healthy. Hurrah for new life, and for the delight of a baby to be excited about. It's much better to think about the littlest member of my community than to think about stupid old cancer. Congrats, Linda & Gary! We can't wait to see the little guy in person.
Love,
Kristina
