So Dr. Z could not see me Friday so I went to see her yesterday. Had blood work too so Friday should be a quicker treatment. All numbers look good, no issues, got the okay to workout and lift weights - just take it slow, do lots of stretching, and keep hydrated. I have started to put on some weight as my stomach adjusts and don't want it to get out of control. I also haven't lifted weights in a very long time and feel like I am becoming mushy. So, I will try to put together a routine that will meet my needs for right now, burn some calories, build some muscle and keep me healthy. I have downloaded a couple meditation tapes to help with relaxation, and I want to get a simple Yoga routine for morning and/or evening stretching, and then about a 30 minute light weight routine to use 3-4 times a week.
I am feeling pretty normal but when I look in the mirror it is scary. My eyebrows have become very thin and my lower eye lashes are almost gone except for a little fuzz so not much for my mascara to hang onto.
I am getting a little tired of looking at that face - it doesn't match how I feel. Well, off to work in Centreville and then chemo tomorrow. Here comes the weekend already.
