3 Month Follow Up

I went to see the doctor last Wednesday and I guess the good news is there is nothing to report. We are to follow up with him again in 3 months and He will do another PET Scan on that day. That is a scan that shows my entire body and lights up any cancer cells present. Amazing where technology has come. He also set me up for an appointment with a sleep doctor for a sleep study as I have had obstruction and quit breathing when I sleep for the last two months. However, I am not sure the point of a sleep study if there is nothing they can do. Guess they are needing a little extra money. Still really dizzy in the mornings it usually takes about 2-3 hours to get rid of the dizzies. Still not tasting much. Drinking my Veggies in the morning with protein powder. Then 3 ensures throughout the day and a sensible dinner. Usually ham, or chicken or a salad. Ribs or pizza. Experimenting trying to find something that is tasting normal -- not yet but soon I just know it!

Energy Coming back!!

I know I haven't blogged in a while, Sorry, Not really much to report. Which I guess is good. Things are running along pretty good. I have increasingly been feeling more like I did with energy and Just feeling like my old self. Rob always says " I feel more like I do now than I did yesterday" but I am "feeling more like I did yesterday than I do now" hehe. Which was much better than i do now. I can start to get a hint of the me I remember from several years ago before all this started to take over. And I am so excited to get more and more of those good days back. I have started back to exercise class, not going as often as I would like as it is causing some visual disturbances that last for about an hour after class if over, so i am taking it easy until after my doctors appointment next week. I am also waiting for lab results to come back, they rechecked my white count as it was running low the last time they checked it and they wanted to recheck to see if this is something we need to worry about or not. I am still not tasting much, I am living on 3-4 ensures a day and force myself to eat one solid meal. Have to get 1100-1200 calories a day down to make mom and dad, Rob ...and everybody else happy -- I must maintain my weight, which also means if I exercise I have to force down another 300-500 calories on that day. YUK! But I gotta exercise it is so good for so many things. Like healing. Also when I eat food anything other than my ensure, i get these lovely blisters all over the inside of my mouth and throat that last for about 2 days to 1 week and it annoys me. So my favorite thing to do USE to be eat. Now I am going to have to find another new past time. Hopefully exercise. But we will see how that works out.

We went home to Fordland this weekend for mothers day and had a wonderful time. I got to see all my family, even if it was for just a moment I was soooooo Glad I got to visit with them. Got to see all the babies, Abbye went to church with mom, dad, Rob and I and we had a wonderful time. ....My cup runneth over!
