chemo round 2!

Just got home from my second round of chemo. Kelly and I started the day with a shake made with our new Healthmaster that was sent to us as a gift from our good friends the Lowes. The thing has a ton of power and will sure get a workout in our house. Kelly and I will be learning to emulsify greens in order to sneak as many as possible into our daily diet.  Then, we were off to check in at CancerCare. The day went quickly as I got to have my brother and sister, Marilyn there with me.  I was pleased that everything was good with my bloodwork, as that allowed me to have this second round of chemo. 

My next chemo date has changed slightly and will take place on August 9^th. It will also now start at 8:30, which is good for me so I can wake up and get right to it. It also allows me to celebrate my 29^th birthday on August 10^th, anyway I wish.

Over the next few days, I plan to do what I can, but my main priority will be lots of rest. I know my Kelly will have all sorts of healthy foods ready for me as we know that good nutrition helps the chemo work well!

I am especially proud of Kyle today, as he is giving the toast at a friends wedding. He and Curtis Brolund have been working on it this week and I know they will do a great job. Especially if they can manage to  enjoy drinks in moderation, at least until after the speech!

Amanda is doing fine. Happy that each day that passes, is another day closer to meeting baby. The heat has been tough on her, so will be nice in a short while, when she is done work.

Next week, I plan to join the gym. I am going to partake in some yoga, and do a bit of working out with weights. My doctor has okayed this and told me that it is healthy for my mind and body. It will also get me out of the house, which is great. While I am out, I might have to take a detour to Winners and Walmart, to get caught up on the deals. 

Thanks again everyone,  will keep you in the loop!
