Conquering the World

June 29th

Today was chemo day and I woke up feeling like I could conquer the world. Then I got tired and laid down for a little bit – LOL. Lots happened today – got my interim hair cut, I think I look like a bad ass – but a little bit of a pixie too!

I may not have shared that we are doing a dining room kitchen renovation…I know you are all shaking your heads saying has she lost her mind completely! Well the beauty is that my wonderful sissy has let me and Millie move in with her for the time being – this way she can watch over me as she isn’t traveling right now and she makes sure I am eating and resting and exercising. Basically she can boss me around – she likes that and it is comforting to be here and not living in complete chaos.

On the other hand Steve is living in chaos but seems to be faring ok and he comes by everyday for a visit – but he is keeping his eye on the renovation and they have all decided that I will see no more pictures till this is all done…I just write the checks hmmm.

The last 10 days have been filled with lots of family – my mom was here and then my sister Suzy and niece Annie from Louisville. Steve and I are going to head to the beach for 4th of July week and let the kitchen renovation continue on a 24/7 schedule cause I told my contractor that if my cancer was going to be aggressive I needed him to be aggressive to and get her done!

I know we all wanted my last post to be fake news and the hope that my blog was taken over by the Russians (BB I borrowed your material) and well…shit not so much. But we are fighting and will head to Scottsdale for a second opinion in/around early August as well as talk clinical trials. Everything is in the works for that right now! Next set of scans will be around the end of July so we will know if this chemo is working by then!

BTW if I haven’t said it before let me say it now, I have always been impressed by those fighting T1D and the constant managing of that disease. I am now more impressed cause I was given a new prescription that required me to give myself injections 3xs a day for the last 10 days and there is nothing fun about that – I repeat nothing. You T1D warriors are impressive and truly bad to the bone.

Thank you for all the wonderful notes, calls, text and emails you all know how to make a girl feel so loved! My warriors are the best a girl could ask for – I am so blessed!
