Up, Up and Away

Wow,  this is the first week since last May that I have not had some form of a medical appt. I sort of feel lost, but am certain this will pass. All in all, I am feeling pretty good. I joined the Healthy Living Centre and have been going walking Monday-Friday. I am treating the excersize as the next part of my treatment. Chemo and steroids were very hard on me so this is a way to get my energy and stamina back. Last week I was walking and felt a spring in my step for the first time in a long time. What a great feeling that was!

I had mentioned on my blog that I had been working on a celebration and to stay tuned for details. I was hoping to plan a splashy affair this spring,  but my body isn’t where my mind is in terms of being ready for this. Because of this, I am sad to say that this is not in the works at present. I am wishing to one day do this to thank many people who have been so good to me and our family but don’t feel I can at this point in my recovery. 

This Friday, our family is off to Toronto to spend some time together. We are looking forward to this time together. We plan to do skating at the Nathan Phillips Square, the Hockey Hall of Fame, Yuk Yuk’s comedy club, the waterslides at our hotel, and we are all pretty excited about going to the Leafs vs Devils game. (Thanks to Alex Urbom for getting us these tickets!) Wohooo. The trip will be a great way to have some fun together after this stressfull year. 

My latest docs apt went well. My port has been removed and my doctors sent me on my way and will check in with me three months down the road. I will be in touch again soon.
