Gearing Up

I've had a better week this week.  The first part of the week was pretty emotional for me.  I arranged for help with the kids, not knowing what the week would be like.  I was feeling pretty guilty asking people to come, but now it seems that the week after "chemo week" will be doable.  I'm still pretty fatigued and often take a nap during the day, but the rest of it is managable.  I can even drink tap water again!  I'm so grateful for everyone that has helped us out in one way or another.  There have been dozens, I don't even know how many, that have made this process doable for us!  THANKS to all of you!

I don't have a lot to report today.  I went to the gym twice today.  My sister asked if I wanted to go this morning and all I felt like doing was jogging.  But today is a weight day, so I went back tonight to do the weights.  Mat, Brooklyn and the baby came too, Brooklyn loves to run on the track with her dad!  She is so funny!  We watched Biggest Loser this week.  One of the Trainer Tips right before a commercial was to do standing lunges all the way through the commercial break.  She did them for the rest of the show!  Since then, I've see her doing random lunges, I guess whenever she thinks of it, she just wants to do them.  I had some exercises from the physical therapist for my arm (getting my range of motion back in my surgery arm), she'd be right down there on the floor, watching me carefully and doing them with me.  She's so cute.
