Patience

If this was a normal chemo week, my next treatment would be tomorrow. I can't put it into words how grateful I am that I don't have to do that anymore. I have a CT scan on Thursday, then meet with my oncologist next week to discuss results. 

Piece of cake.

I am getting frustrated with my system taking its time to get ME back. 

The neuropathy is still present, but getting better slowly. This morning, I could feel the coolness of the vinyl floor in the kitchen...something I haven't felt in about 3 months. 

My fingertips are still numb, and my hands get sluggish quickly. I made booties for the dogs over the weekend...it was quite the challenge to make them with half-dead hands, but I did it!

I still huff and puff after doing one flight of stairs...frustrating in a 3 level townhome!

I actually styled my hair this morning. This is the first time I have done so in about a month. I still hate the way it looks...stringy. BUT, I hate the way I look in hats, too. I guess I just have to avoid mirrors for awhile. 

Once again, a reminder that I have to have patience and to cut myself some slack. My body has been through hell for the last 7 months. It's not going to be back to normal in 2 weeks. It takes time to heal, and my body has a lot of healing to do. 

Ronda will be back...it's just gonna take awhile.
