Feeling Good

The problem with having a week off from treatments and feeling "normal" is that I try and do too much.  I "forget" that I can't do things like I used to do.  I'm not sure how I managed to watch the kids while going thru treatments last time...thou guessing 3 1/2 years has "aged" me some.....I have always gotten up in the morning and been out the door, now it's taking me more time just to get moving.   The amount of drugs that I'm taking and having put in my body are also making things difficult.  The shot to boost my white blood cells causes numbness and swelling in my feet and hands...and just like last time it isn't effecting my left hand...and I'm right handed...ugh... It is also effecting the way I'm walking.  I have a tendency to "lean to the left" ( and were not talking politics)  and look like I've had a few too many drinks. So when I'm out and not able to lean on a shopping cart or Bob I have a cane..or as Bob calls it, a "stick".  Never thought I would be using one, but the thought of falling and breaking a bone has humbled me.   The past few days have been good and I have been getting out.  Book shopping with Bob and Beth, breakfast with Dianne and Elaine..lunch today with Beth and Tracey and maybe even alittle retail therapy if I'm up for it.  Enjoying the cool weather and sunshine.
