Wow, time flies when you're not having chemo! The first cycle of my second round is completed and I made it through with the usual issues -- fatigue, some nausea, that weird sensitivity on my neck and upper back -- but by my birthday on Thursday, I was in fine form. I was even dancing in the kitchen to Ray Charles!! I'm not having any problem being 46, because for at least the past six months, I thought I was already 46! It's pretty bad when you don't know your own age. Anyway, I had a lovely birthday and Ed and I made a four layer cake, which we shared with our neighbors and friends. Yummy! We also had Turkish food for dinner, which I really enjoyed, and I received lots of beautiful flowers and lovely cards. I can't believe I used to get depressed over my birthday. One thing cancer has going for it: it makes you appreciate reaching another birthday and having people you love to share it with you.
The celebration and feeling great lasted a day and then while changing my clothes and having a coughing fit Friday night, I pulled a muscle in my back. Now I look like an old lady when I move around. I have a follow up with my surgeon today, so I'll mention it to him, but he'll probably tell me not to cough while I'm moving. LOL
Today would have been my dad's 77th birthday, so happy birthday, Dad! There are a lot of people thinking of you today. I really miss you, and wish I could give you a big hug and kiss, but I'm sending you one in my heart.
I'll be back soon!
