It's nearly December and I can't believe the year is over. But I'm glad it is behind me. I am finally regaining my strength and body back. My mouth sores have gone, but eating still has a few trials. I just top up with protein mixes when I think I'm not there some days.
I've started to socalize a bit more but evenings are difficult. By 9pm I am definitely ready to be home and often before that. Everyone has been very understanding but it's been nice to be able to host people again at home.
The sad news that my good friend Sally (who has been a mainstay during my illness) has been diagnosed with BC and goes in Wednesday for a mastectomy also. Hopefully I can be a strong support for her as she has been for me.
My fingernails have not grown back yet so I am still avoiding housework and water. Ted just loves that! I am back into lymph therapy regularly to try to regain my arm strength again, lost during radiation, but that too is coming.
We are looking forward to a few days with our friends in Edmonton next week then Dec 18 to Jan 2 in Puerto Vallarta, a coastal resort in Pacific Mexico, that we haven't been to before. Using he condo of Auntie Nancy (Tikal's bird-sitting companion!) should make for a leisurely stay. Ah tropical Mexico, starting to sound good! Feliz Navidad and all that...
