A friend of mine is going to run in the Boston Marathon this weekend. I am so very proud of her. Although I feel like I did my own marathon this morning. I walked a mile on the treadmill! Now I was not a speed demon but I got the mile completed. I am trying to get my strength back and be in the best place possible for chemo.
I cannot believe how my range of motion in my arms has been compromised. I am doing the exercises the physical therapist assigned but they kick my butt. Lifting my arms over my head is a workout in itself. I do not go back to the physical therapist until the first of May so I will just stay on this path of workouts.
Yesterday Karlene and Ethan spent the morning here. He is such a great distraction for me. I think of nothing but his joy for life while I am with him. Of course Karlene is looking like the next little Newsom man could enter this world at anytime. He is not due until May 11th but this week the doctor said it looked more like an April delivery. I know God will do what He thinks is right but I would love to have a new grandson before I start chemo. Only God knows the answer to this.
I am going to enjoy this weekend. It is suppose to be beautiful weather before a cold blast happens again next week. Rick is playing golf and I am going to spend some time on the deck.
I hope everyone will have a great weekend also.
