Wow,
So many exciting things going on! David has completed school! YEAH!!! The only thing left is the actual graduation and banquet this weekend. He has a couple job possibilities that are very exciting, so we're really happy about that! But with graduation, comes....arranging on how to get 20 people down there at the same time (plus with the correct hair color and clothes - always important!) :P The other exciting change is the upcoming move! I'm so happy and grateful to have the opportunity to move into a MUCH bigger home. It is a really nice house (did I mention it was my sisters and since she's moving into a new home, she's letting me move into the old one?) So, not only am I moving, but she is too! So, that's 2 moves in the SAME WEEK!!! We are too crazy! I'll be happy once we're in because then I start radiation, so I'll have a nice big house to relax in, with separate rooms for the kids when I need to separate them!
Did my radiation simulation this week. Had to get a detailed brain MRI for it, which showed no new tumors - YEAH!!! I am so impressed at my treatment team! They have really listened to me and taken everything I have wanted into consideration. They are going to "spare" parts of my brain that would result in more cognitive impairment. It makes the treatments longer (like 20 minutes vs 5), but it does give me peace of mind that I will hopefully still be able to speak about the fetal oxy-hemoglobin disassociation curve! Radiation will most likely start next Tuesday. I still don't know if it'll be 15 or 20 days, but I'll know next week.
I'm back in physical therapy for lympedema in my arm. It is getting a little uncomfortable now and I get some numbness. I think it's cause of all the weight redistribution from steroids. It hurts to lift my arms up because I'm so fat!!! In fact, to be able to look down and see my mediport in my chest, I have to physically move my cheek! Isn't that so sad it's hilarious!! I also have a lot of swelling in my legs. I'm not sure if its from being fat or steroids? I've gained about 10 pounds, so I need to start controlling myself and not letting steroids be an excuse for me. I think I did pretty well today, so that's day 1! Everyday will be a challenge because I sure like those carbs!
So, onwards into the day. It's just about time to get up and get everyone ready for the day. My goal is to find a graduation outfit that downplays my chipmunk face! :)
