Happy days! Am feeling great. My sense of humor has returned, and I've cooked some tasty dinners for Paul the last couple of nights. It's nice to get back into the kitchen for cooking instead of just eating. I continue to pack on the pounds, however. If my stomach is empty I feel sick. If it's full I feel fine. Therefore I keep it loaded. We also haven't been doing our walking as my energy level is low. Really weight gain should be a small issue at this point, but you know........
Both pets love my bald head..they try to lick it at night (or wait-could that be Paul?)! I ventured out of the house bald yesterday to bring in our trash cans. This was my first trip outside of the house without a covering. A friend was just entering the driveway, thought I looked pretty good and asked to feel my fuzzy head!
Have heard from some of you that you are worried about my picture with Brian giving me my mohawk. No that is not a cigarette! It is my straw that I pretend to smoke during happy hour or stressful times! Still smoke free and loving it! Don't doubt the strength of someone who fights like a girl!
Heard from Margot today. She was in Dublin walking in gardens. Thought she'd phone me next from Monet's Garden. She's had someone mailing cards for her locally as Paul or I receive one every single day. Sure must have taken her a long time to prep those!
Next chemo session is Tuesday, July 14th.
Expect Great Things!

I have used the last two cloudy days as an opportunity to do errands, housework, watch T.V. and play computer games until I am cross-eyed. It was a little piece of sunshine to check your blog and see that you posted something new. It kinda feels like when I was little and I checked inside the mailbox to find a letter - for ME! So glad to hear you are hanging in there. Enjoy this week before your next treatment and stay tough! As usual, I'll be wearing my pink on Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteMaybe..you and Steve will come over and visit before then.....thank you. your warmth covers me like a Pendelton blanket!
ReplyDeleteSteve saw you guys today in your Z! He was driving incognito in the Kia, so I'm sure he went right under Paul's alien radar. I hope that means you had a great little road trip on this gorgeous day! Escape!

ReplyDeleteDear Leah,
ReplyDeleteI was happy you posted again. You are never far from my thoughts and my well wishes.
I hope your next chemo isn't as hard on you as the last one. Perhaps this time around your body will understand it managed this attack last time and won't be so shocked.
Good Luck!
I am with you on the pound packing. Mine is financial stress induced eating. Perhaps we can share clothes come September....
Pam D. is hosting a gathering at her condo
July 30th in honor of Darcy. It's her birthday and to meet her daughter of course.
If you feel like it, a day with girls sometimes is fun...... If you want to I can forward details later on.
Be strong, we all expect great things Leah!
Love Monica
Better yet Monica-instead of sharing clothes in September how about you come over and we'll share a tub of cookies!
ReplyDeleteHey Leah,
ReplyDeleteI will share cookies, cake, cheetos, pizza,
wine, beer, bread and jam, hot dogs, just about anything you can stick in front of me. About that Fight for Life Diet??? Well I did buy raspberries,,
I will come over I promise. I see your garden and I am tantalized.It is beautiful. Are the flowers all perennials or annuals. If so,,,,holy cow! I will call in a couple of weeks to see if you want company.
By then, Jen (my daughter will be settled into her new apt,, the 3rd in 3 years)
And by then we will have met with the realtors and perhaps have a game plan on this house in FED WAY. I continue to offer the escape to Hood Canal, the retreat at Harmony Hill, the water, the mountains.
Take care tomorrow........
and the next few difficult days. PS The do is great and you do look fabulous!
Love you
Monica
