I just planted grass seed. I found a bag in the garage with a little left over from last year so I decided, since it's going to rain anyway, I will throw it out there and see what happens. Keep your fingers crossed for me! :) I am usually brought down by the gray skies and rain but today I am hopeful that it will bring wonderful change (in my lawn) and that it will not flood my basement, like sometimes happens when we get a lot of rain. I will just be hopeful.
Tomorrow is chemo treatment #8 (?). I am losing track but I think it is #8. It is a long one! I will get all three infusions tomorrow in addition to having blood work and seeing the doctor. It is going to be an ALL DAY affair. I just printed a bunch of information for my critical task for school. Guess what I will be doing while I am sitting in the office tomorrow waiting for my name to be called... I was assigned Other Health Issues - Diabetes. How very exciting for me. Luckily I have some life experience around working with students with diabetes so I have a jumping off point -- not to mention the fact that we have had many family members who have had the disorder.
As for me, things are still going well. I find myself focusing more and more on the stuff on my list rather than taking care of me. I have to be reminded every now and then (whether it be from severe heartburn or drop-dead fatigue) that I am still battling cancer and that I need to put myself rather than my list first. It's tougher to do when you feel so well most days. Anyway, tomorrow will certainly be a reminder that I need to take it easy and follow the directions of my doctors. I will do my best to be a good patient.
Keeping the faith! :~)
