5 MONTHS and ONE DAY CANCER FREE!!!!

 Life is beginning to go on in a more normal fashion...but its definitely a new normal but that's ok...I will take it and run with it!! I've just got home from my walk this morning and am sitting outside on the deck blogging....just loving my life.
Last week was exciting as Kyle graduated from his 2 year business program and we are very proud of him. He is busy working again this summer for a construction company and keeping busy. He will be moving out to try life on his own so we are happy for him. Cant wait till he invites us over for dinner!! Will be sure to tell you all about it.
Manda and Wes and our little boys are all doing great. Sawyer has been busy with pre school in the new YMCA building and also going to gymnastics. He's doing great at both and really showing signs of growing up. Little Fraser (nugget) is also doing great. He took 4 steps yesterday and is definitely getting ready to walk. Mandy and Wes are going to be keeping in shape running with and after their boys. We just love our time with them and are so glad we get to be with them so much.
We have all been going to the lake and sure are enjoying it. Last week we were out in the boat and we didn't just have to sit at the dock in it...it ran and we were able to cruise around the lake. hahhahahaha  That's for those of you that recall last years boating trip! I still have that same old sense of humor hey!
My health is generally good. My legs still give me trouble but we are trying to finds ways to reduce the discomfort they cause me. I continue to enjoy my afternoon naps and my green smoothie! I have lots of hair as its getting thicker all the time. I have not dyed it yet and not sure if I will. That seems pretty minor to me now! Well that's it for now. Enjoy your summer. Keeping you in the loop.

         WHAT A DIFFERENCE A YEAR MAKES!!!

Hello to all! Well the last week has been an emotional time for me as i have been doing lots of reflecting and been so thankful for many things in my life. It was a year ago May 30th  since i was diagnosed. I had so many uncertainties and so much fear then but I'm in a way better place now. I went to cancer care on Friday and delivered a card to them with a letter to share with them how I'm doing. I was so happy to see everyone and got and gave many hugs and shared a few happy tears. I walked out the front door and looked to the sky with much thanks. I felt so healthy and confident and so very very proud as i left the parking lot.

Been feeling fairly well. I had a couple tests in Brandon last week and the DR has informed me that my leg and hip pain is because i have gotten arthritis in my hips so that's been why my legs are bothering me so much. He suggests i keep active so I'm happy to say I'm heading back to the YMCA tomorrow morning and will enjoy swimming 3 mornings a week and doing some yoga. I will miss the healthy living centre and the friends i have made there but will see how i do at the Y.

We have been enjoying our yard and in our spare time Kelly gets out on that new motorcycle and I've been on my pedal bike. Trying to get my legs stronger.If you see me sitting on a corner I'm probably resting!!hahahha

Well think that's all for now. Thanks for the many cards,calls and kind thoughts of me especially this past week, I'm sure one lucky lady.   Keeping you in the loop  Always, Donna
