Doc cleared me on Friday for all exercise and activities. Obviously, I have to listen to my body and try not to push it too hard. (Soooo much easier said than done.) It was a gorgeous day in SoCal and I rode nearly 8 miles!

Party Time
Now that all the hair is gone, I've been pondering the purchase of a wig. Truth be told, I'm not totally interested in procuring a "normal" wig that I'll only use sporadically. My hair has never been something that has defined me. One thing I'd like to think defines me is my desire for fun … Continue reading Party Time
My mantra.
Yup. Last day of round 2 is about to begin.
Prep Work
On a scale of 0 to organized I'm puttering at a 7 right now. Getting this week's meds organized. Putting stuff away around the house so I can succumb to week 2 in peace and cleanliness. My MIL and FIL were a whirlwind of activity last week, dusting and cleaning the windows. I'm so grateful … Continue reading Prep Work
Hair Today. Gone Tomorrow.
This post was created nearly a week ago, but with one thing and another, it didn't get posted. Here it is now. The head is fully shaved at this point. It started falling out a few nights ago. Not like I'm standing still and hair is just jumping off my head, but any time I … Continue reading Hair Today. Gone Tomorrow.

I'm eating what I can but I'm still so full from the IP. Thank goodness for Instant Breakfast. Time for … Continue reading Wiped. Out.
IV bonus
Because I don't have to be horizontal for IV, I get to sit in the cushy chair that includes some perks! Its the little things.
New Round, New Routine
The infusion center handles their procedures a little differently than the hospital. We learned on my Day 8 infusion, they are far more efficient. What took the full day in hospital was done by 2:30pm at the infusion center. This time around, I'll be responsible for taking my own pre-medications, less benadryl. Turns out, benadryl … Continue reading New Round, New Routine
Today’s Buddy
Got a furry friend to keep me company and a human friend on their way later. 🙂
Finding a rhythm
Yesterday was a hard day. I woke up already nauseous and, like pain, once you're behind it, it's tough to get back ahead. It took most of the morning to get myself in order, but I eventually rallied for a quick visit from my in-laws and a trainer session with one of my girlfriends. I was able … Continue reading Finding a rhythm
