The Bullet Point Update

Fact Number One:
It is snowing - again. For an area that rarely ever gets snow, we were SHOCKED to look outside and see that in the matter of two hours (of cooking and taking down a well loved Christmas tree), that 2 -3 inches of snow had come out of nowhere! WT??????? I am not sure where I live anymore! But I have NO snow gear. I think it is high time to buy some decent boots so I can go out and enjoy! Since we rarely get more than an inch, I don't have good boots. Or jackets, for this. Strange.

Fact Number Two:
I have been quiet because we have all been snowed in, and Christmas break was afoot. A hubby and a child at home for three weeks (are we looking at FOUR!) YIPES! They have kept me busy busy busy. No quiet contemplative time to type. I am stealing a few minutes to put out an update.
(I thought I would tomorrow, but looks like I have a kid at home again!)

Fact Number Four:
I have had a stomach bug. Hence, one more reason not to write.

Fact Number Five:
I had my triple dose of Herceptin last week, right after a PET/CT scan. BLUGH. Not a nice combo. I get the results of the PET/CT scan back Wednesday. I am nervous.

Fact Number Six:
How is the transition going? Strange. Another reason for not writing. So much is going on in my mind/body/spirit. I just feel the need to cocoon up until Spring.

Fact Number Seven:
I am still tired, but not all the time. I just get tired easily and still need downtime/rest time. Kind of being on this side of it now, and seeing my body still struggling because of the ordeal of chemo, I am going to be kind and give myself January to tweak nutrition/food, exercise, and drain this overworked lymphatic system with the aforementioned food/exercise/sleep and a variety of other methods, including more acupuncture.

I am tickled at all the phone calls, 6 in a matter of hours, but I am still healing. Chemo is done, and now the real work begins. I am backlogged, but do plan to catch up with all the Loving Supportive Folks who give me calls and emails, real soon.

Okay, my few minutes are up.

Love to everyone!
Jenna
