LIFE HAS CHANGED
Life has definitely changed for me during the last 9 months. Since being diagnosed with breast cancer in October, it has been a long journey. After my stroke in April of 2007, I am not sure that I wasn't just existing. Yes, I was busy and involved but in looking back it was on a guarded basis. Today I am living life to the fullest again and not afraid to take chances. I flew on my own and met friends in Atlanta recently. I didn't let my deficits weigh me down a bit.
My hair started to come in about a month ago. I still need to wear my wig or head covering, but seeing hair again is wonderful. I am scheduled for a blood transfusion next Monday as my counts are still low. Hopefully this will be my last. My nails are falling off from the chemo but this, too, shall pass.
Life is so good once again. I am scheduled to do another volunteer study in PT for my leg again and am looking forward to this. I still watch our grandson twice a week and even did this during chemo. Can you believe he will be two in early July??? Our yard is full of lovely flowers...and much of this is due to all of the rain we have received.
I'm not on here as much as I used to be as I am volunteering at the breast cancer center as well as Make A Wish.
I love you all and pray daily for my stroke net friends.
