It's the day after chemo three and I am full of energy. I am still on the steroids which give you unlimited energy! Oh if I could only have this kind of energy on a daily basis! Today is the last day of steroids though so tomorrow I will only have my regular energy.
Today I was up and hit the gym. I did my 60 minutes on the elliptical and it felt good. I did a few weights and 10 minutes of stretching. I then had my last physical therapy appointment. My range of motion is all back to normal. Gosh I will miss my physical therapist....she's a doll! I then went off to the Pandora store and treated myself to my 3rd Pandora ring...one for each chemo. I picked out an extra special one for my final chemo which is in 20 days (yes, I am counting the days!!!). I will proudly go and pick it up three weeks from today and gladly say "I am finished with chemo"!
After that, I was off to get the "nasty" neulasta shot. I hope it does not cause me any bone pain this time. Last time it somehow missed me and it was a pleasant surprise! I am hoping for the same this time around.
Hard to believe I had chemo yesterday. I had such a GREAT day today. The sun was shining and I was busy and full of energy. I never thought I could do this whole chemo thing. I have been truly blessed. I know I am over the chemo hump now and that just feels SO damn good!
I hope the coming days bring me no side effects. I hope the coming weeks bring a continued full head of hair and minimal shedding. That would make this all so much easier!
On another note, I went bathing suit shopping today. ICK! What in the heck do you do to hide these ugly tissue expander coconut boobs? I don't know how I will plan on going to the neighborhood pool in May and early June before my final implants are put in. Lord...these things are ugly! I am going to have to really shop for a bikini with good coverage of the coconuts. I have a feeling this will be getting expensive to find something to hide this look.
I told my husband about the bathing suit shopping and panic and how I was going to cover up these things. He said "don't worry about it...people will just think you got a really bad boob job". Nice...gotta love a man's perspective (smile).
