Ready

3.21.2020

We had a beautiful day. We spent much of it just being around home together. You might think homeschool families do that all the time but no, not exactly. We still have to practice being near one another and relaxed but not necessarily entertaining one another.  So, we did that. It went pretty well.

I had a big week. We decided that I will undergo chemotherapy starting Tuesday, March 24. I had a PET/CT scan so we could get a baseline going forward - i.e. how terrible of a situation is my body in? I had acupuncture to start preparing in advance of chemo. Friday I had surgery to put in a port. I had one nine years ago. I call it my button to the kids. It makes it so they can more easily poke me over and over again without the trouble of trying to access my poor, scarred, worn out and sad veins.  After surgery, I baked scones for the kids (and myself). I feel that these large milestones (surgery) leave me deserving of a little treat and a whole wheat scone counts. Then, Healing Touch. I’m feeling pretty good after surgery and looking forward to next week happily. I am ready.
