As some of you know, my weekend in Rockport was not what I expected. I wasn't feeling well at all, but loved being with my besties. We still got to enjoy a walk on the beach, a dinner out, and we watched the oldie but goody, YA-YAs movie.
That Monday, I began to feel better and by Tuesday I felt amazing. I went to see the P.A, Katie and told her of my rough weekend with nausea and pain. She said it was absolutely normal because the radiation and chemo take a couple of weeks to completely go away. She prescribed a meal enhancer and boy has that helped. I''m also taking a - and enzymes to help with digestion and absorption. Now that I feel normal and hungry I have no doubt I can gain some weight and get strong for the surgery on Nov. 4.
On Saturday, our family, including my sister-in-law, Darla, who was here from Florida, participated in the Walk to End Alzheimers that Stacy was sponsoring. It was a beautiful cool morning. The walk was a few hundred people so not to crazy and was held in the beautiful San Gabrielle Park in Georgetown. I am planning to walk each morning and evening a few times a week to increase my heart rate.
I have not asked for any meals on the care calendar for now. We will need meals again in December during recovery.
My brother, Bob and his wife, Nancy are bringing my mom to see me on Oct. 10. I am not supposed to travel by plane due to germs. It will be a quick visit but I can't wait to see her. As most of you know she is 88 and has dementia so it's not easy for her to travel. Thank you Bob and Nancy for helping get her here. My brother, Tom and his wife will be here a well. :)
Hugs,
Cindy
