On my Toes!


I decided to have a pedicure and invited my daughter, Bridgett, to join me. We went for the polka dots to be frivilous and "summery." Even though most of the time my feet are too cold to wear sandals, I enjoy my twinkle toes at home. After all, one has to please oneself as well as look good to others. Besides, it was the only way I could get my busy mother of 4 to join me and have some mother-daughter time together. We really enjoyed catching up and getting pampered to boot!
My hair is growing back! I am almost all white/grey. No blonde left, probably could get it done, but I kind of like it so far. My husband loves the color, always compliments me on it. I'm just glad to have it covering my head again. I hated having a cold head.
On a serious note, I am due for another CT scan this week sometime. Waiting to be scheduled. Seems like I'm always waiting for something. I have been doing some physical therapy for
"reconditioning" after chemo. The therapist has no mercy! She is quite a taskmaster. Stands over me and makes sure I do ten of everything. I was really sore the first week. I have to get into shape for my grandchildren. Chasing them around is good cardio!
I'm going for cycle 4 of experimental therapy next week. So far, I'm pretty sure I'm on the drug, not a placebo. My blood pressure is higher, one of the side effects. I have never had any trouble with that before. I'm sort of glad because that means I'm getting the real deal. This drug prevents blood from getting to tumors. I hope for the best. It's hard to stay positive, but I have lots of support from all who love and care about me. We shall overcome!
This is a Good Day to Live!
