I know it has been along time since I have blogged about anything useful of beneficial or inspiring to you all. I really don't know what happened since the last good blog. I will try to explain it.
I believe that when I finished my chemo it was like a whole new chapter was beginning and a bad chapter ending and I had a hard time talking about it. I just decided to live in the newness of what I was feeling. As I reflect back it all seems so foggy and so long ago. "did all?that really happen".? Wow what did happen.?
My life is slowly coming back a normal...well a normal for me. I don't think my life will ever be normal like it used to be. Things have certainly changed...I look at people, life and opportunities differently.
Glenn went on a month long mission trip to Cambodia and Myanmar the week after I finished my last treatment. I was glad for him to go. It was a very meaningful and door opening experience for him...maybe for us both in the near future.
I started getting my hair back a couple of months ago. Now it is about 1-1/2 inches long on my head. The good news is I am so over scarves, headbands and most hats. Glen and I are at the beach right now..It has been so wonderful not to have to have a hat sitting on my head waiting for a big gust of wind to com along and blow it off...can't you see me ..this bald women running down the beach tring to catch my run a way hat.?? hahaha. Now I just wash and go. it is short...but it is still growing and I am proud of my hair!!!!
Much has happened..I started back to work 2 weeks ago. I tried to go back to full days, but I found that was a little too much to start with. I am working half days for awhile. Until I get my stamina built back up. It took more out of me than I thought. I am so thankful for my employers for working with me.
I have so much to share with you all...I don't want to bore you either. I started my radiation 2 weeks ago.. so far that is going well. No problems yet. I will tell you all about that next time.
Since I was diagnosed with breast cancer...two of my friends and followers on here have been diagnosed. Jane and Maria I think of you everyday. They would tell me what an inspiration I was being to them and bam!!!! they got bad boobs too. I am telling you people....you never know what direction your life is going to take. Be ready. Be brave. and hold on.
Gotta go back and get out of our hotel..I think WAFFLE house is our next stop!!!!
Love to all and I will finish spilling my soul next time.
Melanie
