Healing

I'm starting to feel human again. I still have some issues with my gut, and I do have some neuropathy in my fingers and toes. Other then that, I'm getting along pretty well. It was a brutal last round of chemo, and I'm so glad it's over with. Day by day now, I'll start to heal and get my strength back.

Typing is no fun when you have pins and needles in your fingers. I definitely hope that goes away.

I'm looking forward to walking outside in the sunshine for more then just a trip to the mailbox. I'm still out of breath quite a bit, but as the anemia clears up I'll feel better. The hot sun actually feels really good on my bald head. I've gotten brave about not wearing hats. I can't do it for long cause I don't want my head to burn. Last thing I need is skin cancer.

I wonder if I'll ever stop equating everything I do with "I don't want cancer again". I wonder when I'll stop worrying that every single twinge is cancer being somewhere in my body.

Princess M is home sick today. Hopefully I can avoid the cold she has. Lots of hand washing in this house!
