Good Weekend

I hope each of you has had a wonderful weekend.  There is so much to be thankful for in our lives.  I pray that God continues to give me strength so that each day is better.

Physical therapy on Friday was awesome.  The therapist did some massage techniques on my arms to help with some cording that was developing and limiting my range of motion.  Now I did have to cry "uncle" a couple of times because it wasn't all pleasant but my movement has improved so much.  I have another session tomorrow and hope it continues to help.

Yesterday was another first for me in several months.  Rick and I took a drive to Rocheport, MO and had dinner at a winery called Les Bourgeois.  It was about an hour and half drive and I did well.  Of course it would have been much better if I could have had a glass of wine!  But all in all I had another good day.

Today I got up and fixed chicken salad, made chocolate chip cookies, and had some visitors.  Karlene and Ethan came over for the afternoon!  We tried to "sanitize" Mr. Ethan and I didn't kiss on him but it sure was good to see him.  I have not had physical contact with him since I began the chemo treatment to avoid his little germ infested body.  I missed having him around here.  Thank goodness for technology though because we do Facetime almost every day.  Once again I had another good day.

Now this doesn't mean I don't get tired.  I do.  But I am learning to pace myself.  I will have blood work again on Wednesday and hopefully my counts are coming back so I can have another treatment next Tuesday.   Hey after that treatment I will be half way done with the schedule of 4!

Yes...it has been a good weekend.
