Casting

So tomorrow Tim is taking me to Children's to get my casts put on both legs. I will have to go in on Thursday and twice every week once on Tues and on Thurs to be re casted. Hopefully this will only take 3 weeks at the most. I am sure it won't be comfortable but i don't really want to walk on my toes anymore either. I will post pictures soon! All my love!

Life...

Sorry i haven't wrote anything on this blog for a while, oh i miss it! Life after cancer so far is exactly the same with only less needle pokes, labs and scans. My port is removed and it is so weird not to have it, the surgery was fine but the site still bothers me. The plan is to do a ct scan and MRI every 3 months for the next year, and then every 6 months for a year or something. I am doing PT twice a week, unfortunately they believe that if my feet are to get flexing back i will have to do casting for the next couple weeks. They think it has just been too long since i have used those muscles,so they will put casts on both my legs, every week they will remove them move my foot up a degree or so and put a new cast on. If within the first week or two they will stop if results don't show but so far that's the next move. I can't believe its the end of May, i am getting excited for the wedding but also nervous because i am not feeling much better. I can't wait to eat, i just want to eat a meal its proving much harder than i thought it would be,i can't wait to get the feeding tube out but i suppose i should be able to get before we do that. i am still nauseous and don't have a great amount of energy. All in time i guess, just grateful to have no more chemo but hard to move on without feeling much better. I will post pictures soon! All my love

Surgery Day

Today i will have surgery to have my port removed!! I am very excited to not have a box in my chest! It seems like just yesterday that i went with my Dad and Tim to have it put in. Although while it was happening the past 9 months seemed to go so slow! I have been spending a lot of time outside and walking and doing PT! I am excited to be moving on and today is just another step in the right direction! All my love
