Things are finally slowing down!
There isn’t much going on for me these days which is a relief after the ordeal of the last 8 months! I go every three weeks to the Nipawin hospital for my Herceptin injection – so far I’ve had 3 of them here and they are going okay. I am usually tired that day and the next so I just come home and take it easy. Other than that it is business as usual. I even went into work for 2 days and helped my coworker bake for the snack program but then I had to go home and have a nap. I still do need that ½ to 1 hour nap a lot of the time. I am going to the gym usually 3 or 4 times a week. Now that the radiation burns are healed the skin is very tight so I lost some of my range of motion again. I am working really hard at getting it back but I have a ways to go. I'm hoping to be back to normal when I see the plastic surgeon but so far there has been no word from him anyway. My fingernails are so close to being back to normal again. The fingertips - especially on my thumbs are still a little sensitive and my tongue still feels a bit strange. I think about 1 more week and I will be able to have a manicure! However my hair is growing sooo slow. It will be at least another month and maybe two before there is enough there to do anything with.
