Gearing up for Chemo


Here’s a photo of me with the red wig. It’s still possible for me to look fairly normal. It’s a little scratchy, but I can do it for a few hours at a time.

It’s chemo day. I’m a little apprehensive, given what happened last time. Landing in the hospital was not my idea of fun. However, tomorrow I will get a shot of nulasta which should forestall that possibility.

Glen took me out for a very nice dinner last night at the Bombay Cricket Club. It was my first time out in public since my hospitalization. We made a date to watch chick flicks in our jammies since I’m wary about going to theaters at this point, it being cold and flu season.

Nadine has organized a hat and earring shower/potluck for me on the 20th at my house (I’m allergic to cats so her house so mine seemed the better choice.). If you are reading this and didn’t get an invitation and would like to attend, contact her or me. Anyway, that sounds like fun. I added the earring part because it seemed like an excuse to get really creative. Bald heads look better with earrings.

I’ve been feeling well enough to exercise lately. We’ll see how I feel tomorrow about that. However, for now it feels good to move my body again. I have been taking yoga classes as well. I just found out about a free 12 week fitness program for cancer patients run by Cancer Care Resources at the Mittleman Jewish Community Center that I might look into. That’s a bit of a drive for me at this point, but it might be worth it.

So, I’m working on my EFT certification. I’ve been watching old DVDs and hoping to send off my Basic Certification exam soon. Once I do that, I’ll work on my advanced certification. I’m trying to use this time profitably. The next big project will be to put a web site together for an EFT practice. I figure if I just keep taking one step after another, I’ll eventually get to where I’d like to be.
