Tired Feets

We walked about 10 miles today all around New York City. This was officially logged via fitbit! My feets hurt! New York is great, enjoying the city so far-I'll be a little slow I bet tomorrow. 

NYC

Our flight and check in the lovely St. Regis was a breeze. We have a chandelier and fancy pants everything, pretty nice. We went to see Times Square just to say we did. Too crowded, really obnoxious-but done! Check it off the list! 

My bad sleeping was apparent last night. I didn't bring anything because I thought I'd be exhausted and that woukd knock me out. I was mistaken. The butler brought us coffee (no joke) and were getting ready to do something-not sure what!  

Doney, Done, Done!

I finished a year of herceptin today!!! Yeah me! This completes a year and a half of non stop treatment. Thank goodness for modern medicine, good doctors and fantastic nurses to see me through.  I was joined by Marley today and all went smoothly. My bloodwork is good and I'm now on the path to seeing the doctor every three months instead of six weeks. Whoo-hoo!!

In celebration of this feat, I am treating myself to a trip to the Big Apple. On the way to the airport now. If I could, I would have snuck Marley in my carry on. She's been my light at the end of the tunnel the entire "journey".

Hope to continue on the path of health and wellness. Oh, and I'm down 2 lbs., not a lot, but a good start!

Happy Day!!

Hugs to everyone! Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers to keep me healthy and strong! Love!

Time Flies

I just wrote a long post on the wrong blog and it won't copy and paste. Poop. I'm doing well. Haven't heard from mugga scan so I'll assume that my heart is fine. I have some odd leg sensations, like muscle spasms that make me a little concerned. I'm only concerned because tamoxifen can cause clots. I don't have any signs of a clot in the normal way, or else I'd be more concerned. I have an email into my doctor to see what I should do. 

 This Friday is my last herceptin infusion. Yeah! Close this long chapter! I'll keep my port for another year I think. Just in case. Screw that. I would like it gone. Going on a trip with Kristin this weekend to kind of celebrate the end-haven't really celbrated any other milestones-too many I guess.  

Dane's gone to a second week of camp, he had such a great time, again, he asked to return. So we let him go. Kind of miss the boy, but he's having so much fun. Miscellaneous week for Marley and I.  Just enjoying the time off. 

Yuck

Tomorrow morning I have my last, I think, Mugga heart scan. The test itself is no big deal, but I have to get an IV drawn and I really hate that. I'll be a big girl and deal, but not a fun way to start the day.

Hope it all comes out normal! I have one last herceptin next Friday! That will mark a year of that treatment! 

Happy Fifth of July!

I've been forgetting to blog lately and that's a good thing because I have nothing major to report. I'm doing well, feeling great.  My only complaint is that I have limited mobility in my left arm and shoulder. It hurts and makes it hard to do some things.  Even get dressed. I'm going to try to go back to PT, I'll call on Monday. We were supposed to be at the cabin this weekend, had the car packed and all. Plans changed and we were Batavia bound. That's okay, went to a party, saw fireworks, went to the flea market with a bunch of girlfriends and Marley caught a big fish. She went fishing with a friend and her dad, so I missed it-but I think were "hooked" on fishing! How fun!  Anyway, I'll keep on trucking !

Clean, Home & Safe

It's been a long few days. My little camping trip and Marley's two night try camp was pretty hairy last night. Dane and I never really felt or knew the extent of the storm once we were hunkered down in the cabin. I knew it stormed, but I had no idea of the damage it had done. I did notice that the ceiling fans were out, the whole park had lost power. Busted trees and flattened corn crops.

After breakfast and cards, we tried some fishing but everywhere we went was ridiculously high or rapids. The beautiful Rock Creek was flowing like chocolate milk, it was up several feet from the day before. The Kankakee River had full trees floating down it like the Mightly Mississippi. No fish caught today.

At three we went to get Marley. As we pulled in we saw downed trees and realized that they still were powerless. She was happy to see me, but not running like she had a a terrible time, thank goodness. I guess they got hit even harder. The sirens went off, we didn't hear them. They had to take shelter in the bathrooms. I'm sure that scared the crap out of them.  Then after that storm passed the second line came through and all the girls slept on the floor together. Needless to say Marely is exhausted. They were all safe and that is what matters most. It does stink that her first camp experience had to have a major storm involved. She told me that she was really worried about me and Dane in our tent. She knew we would got in the car if it was bad but she was concerned. That's my good girl. 

So everyone is showered and home. I plan to go to bed very soon as I've had little sleep these past two nights. Crazy, because I slept well last week in Door County. See how much the weather makes or breaks a camping trip? 

Body is a little sore, but to no fault of anything except camping. Still enjoying feeling great!
