I know it has been awhile since I have blogged. Guess my life is calmer than last year! Ha!
Things are going well. Still trying to build up more strength. Seems like if I catch a cold or something else it takes me a bit longer to bounce back. But I know that will not always be the case. I have been exercising and trying to get my strength back that way. I have almost lost the 10 pounds I wanted to lose, now to get 10 more off and I will be happy.
Met with my oncologist last Thursday and everything looked good. Still have my bloodwork done every 3 months, port flushed every month and scans every 6 months. Hopefully after December we will go to annual scans! Yeah! And who knows when the port will come out. My veins are still pretty messed up. I felt bad, last Monday when I had my scan, the ER nurse could not access my port. It did enough to get the dye in. But I was thinking in my mind, "I never have issues with the nurses at the Cancer Ctr." Bite my tongue! When I went in Thursday for blood work etc... they had to find a vein.
Our support group is going great! Every month we have new folks coming. We did lose a member of our group a couple of months ago. The only down side of a group like ours. I am continually please at how tight our group has become in such a short time. One members Leukemia came back. This woman made up orange bracelets with his name on it to remember to pray for him. What a thoughtful idea! And I am proud to say that we are going to have a Light the Night walk here in Seymour September 12th. It is to benefit Leukemia/Lymphoma society. So excited to be able to have this walk. Not an easy task. They only allow walks in areas where they think they will be successful. With our group being so big, they figured we would have the support of the community.
Dennis is doing well. He got a promotion at work. He has lost weight as well and looks even hotter!
Claire is almost done with extended school. She has one more year of preschool and then off to kindergarten! I cannot even imagine! Her speech is really coming along. Her ST told me the other day that she does almost better in a group setting. If there are 2 other girls in there, she will say more. She said she knows as much language with her signs as they do.
Well friends, all for now.
Blessings
