Getting better?

So from what I can tell I am healing nicely from my Pneumonia, Blood Clot and Bleomyacin Toxicity. I am still supposed to take it easy for the next month but I am getting up and around A LOT more. I get very tired very easily and am still pretty slow. I started driving this week. I have driven more in the last week than I did the entire month before this week. I have had something every day this week and it is the same way next week.

I had a nice 32nd birthday. We went to dinner with my mom and the kids on my birthday and then Saturday Frank and I went out to dinner on our own. It was nice and I even had a drink! That is a rare thing when I am healthy but after the month I had I figured I deserved one!

So yesterday I went in for my radiation simulation. Tomorrow I go in and finish it. They will give me "tattoos" that they will use to know where to set me up for the radiation. Then I start radiation on MONDAY! That is one week earlier than my goal! I also had expected to have to do 6 weeks of radiation and I only have to do 3 1/2 to 4 weeks. This means that one month from now this should all be behind me! I will still have lots of appts and scans I am sure, but for the most part I will be DONE! We can get on with our lives! I am hoping that it won't take me long to regain my strength and I can get back to work by July 31st. Maybe sooner! I am very excited to get back to work. It is a huge stress to not be working. I love being around my kids more. It is making up for the fact that I am not "taking care" of them. At least I get to be around them more.

Zander had his last day of pre school today. He will be in Pre K in the fall at St. Al's. They have been wonderful to us, especially in the past few months. His previous teachers from his pre preschool class invited him back today for a graduation. They had little graduation caps and he got a diploma. He hasn't been in that class for a few months now, but I think Miss Brittanie and Miss Amanda always had a special place in their hearts for Zander. It was very kind of them to invite us to their graduation party.

I will try to update you and let you know how the radiation goes. It has just been so crazy with all my appts the past couple weeks and like I said, next week is no different.

Thank you everyone!
