It sure is a Jorney!
This past week I have done lots of reflecting.... I am so grateful for so many things. Having that last chemo behind me seems pretty great thats forsure. Kelly and Wes were with me for the last round and that seems so fitting as they were with me the day we got the diagnosis. I did the happy dance as we left Cancer Care and Kelly and I had a very emotional ride home. Seems a long time ago and so many things have happened since last May. Promised myself no looking back only looking forward.
Im thinking one of my biggest challenges will be to get my stamina back. I tried to get on my treadmill this week. Monday i did 15 min, Tuesday 20 min, Wednesday 30 min,Thursday 20 min and then i have crashed since then. I thought maybe i could run 30 min by now...not so much. Walking at 3.2 mph is about as much as i can do. So I need some patience thats forsure.
Have been journaling lots and resting every day. Manda continues to visit me lots and bring those beautiful little boys over to see Grammie! Kyle is away this weekend looking at the university in Leithbridge. Hes just looking ahead at what he will do when he graduates from colledge.
Kelly is sanding down our kitchen cupboards and thats our last job for awhile. Seems he has had to keep so busy to get through this.
We are all looking forward to our little get away on March 1st to Toronto. Planning on a few fun things and will be so great to just be together as a family.
Well think thats all for now. I promise i will keep resting and not sign up to run a marathon quite yet...hahhahaha
Keeping you in the loop
Always, Donna

Hey Donna,
ReplyDeleteWell ...It sure has been a long journey for you, your family & friends. This form of communication has been phenominal for us all to hear of your progress & be able to say a few words back to you. I had a visit with your main "Wingman" on Friday. So I hear your form of travel this summer will be on 2 wheels...too cool.Kelly looks great...as always. Now I will call to make an appointment to come & catch up. Donnie has back surgery on Thursday here in Brandon, in hospaital for 4-5 days & then no sitting for 6 weeks, only laying flat, standing or walking...should be interesting. XOXO Ricki
Congratulations Donna!
ReplyDeleteWe are so happy for you/Kelly and the rest of your family to get to the end of the treatments. You should be SO proud of yourself and your positive attitude thru all this. Thanks for providing your news and progress for all of us via the "love loop".
Keep on being strong girl.
Best Wishes Always....the 66's
