I suppose it is time for an update from moi.
No view of the BIG MOON for those of us here in the rain and clouds. Oh well!. I am in pretty good shape today.
Slept in, heard from my sis-in-law and got all updated on their goings on. Family in Calgary are all safe in on high ground. Earlier this week, (Wednesday) I got to attend Hannah's kindergarten graduation. Lots of singing and big smiles from all in-attendance. Her report card was also a grand success mostly B's and a few A's. Now she is all set for grade one. Wow, where has the time gone. I must say a huge "thank you" and "kudos" to her teacher for making her introduction to learning so wonderful. The best result is, that Hannah loves school. Was also able to buy all the herb plants I wanted and got them all into pots on Thursday. Lots of parsley, thyme, basil and sage to keep my culinary kitchen happy. Did no go too overboard this year for obvious reasons.
As most of you already know, my next schedule chemo in Wednesday. Hopefully, it will not take ALL day. Having another allergic reaction is not in script. They will be giving me a shot of Benadryl prior to the Taxatore which should preclude any dire reactions. I am usually in pretty good form for about 2 days, then the fatigue sets in and I sleep for 3 or 4 days. After that, I make a slow climb back to almost normal. I will be getting my blood workup done on Tuesday and plan to ask the pertinent questions. I am finding that getting into a detox bath as soon as I can, really makes a difference. My morning smoothies are also a mainstay. Food looses appeal but taste buds do recover in the last week. Plumbing is working well and so far no mouth sores. The tips of my fingers are feeling different so I suppose this could be a chemo side I was warned about. I am taking my supplements and drinking plenty of water.
Trips to the dentist in the last few months have resulted in a special mouth guard, worn at night, to hopefully address the issues I have been having with T.M.J.
Frank is back at work and will be getting in all the hours he needs. I am fine here by myself plus he is only a phone call away if I need him. My summertime neighbours will soon be around full time.
So that is all from moi. Remember ATTITUDE is everything. KEEP DANCING.
