I am getting better

Hey all!





I have been having trouble getting into my blog sorry!

March 6th was colon cancer awareness day. The color is blue...not what I would have picked. The hospital near our home hosted an inflatable 20 foot colon. You could walk through it OOHHHHH. It showed all stages of cancer......like I really wanted to get up close and personal with that. A friend at the college where I work wants to rent it next year. I may help her get sponsors and run the day.

Anyway- I am 6 weeks out of chemo. Doing OK....excpet I can't feel my hands or feet. Opening jars with my teeth.....they think since I do have some feeling it may not be permanent.
I had a colonsocopy early April. They checked the work they had done last May-everything looks great! I got the port taken out 2 weeks later. Yeah! A cancer marker blood test will be
done every 3 months and I will have a CT in May. I am clean for now. Someone said that looking into chemo is truly a hard road....but looking back would be a blip. It is true- all those awful, naseous moments and the hard visit to the hospital in August. Just memories.
I was thinking about it last week and if I had to do it again I would. Right now I am concentrating on not falling on my ass when I am teaching. My strength and balance are in the toilet. I tried a push up the other day.....I got stuck in the push. Almost had to have my students crank me up.

I spend most days just like Jim...looking for work. One of us has to have full time work and bene's. We will find it! Chris made the Baseball team at Barlow and Laura is playing ASA again.
I look forward to a wonderful spring. Thanks to everyone who has kept me in there thoughts and prayers. it worked.

More later-

Liz



As for me- I am 6 weeks out of chemo 13th. My hair is softer and thicker.....can't feel my hands or feet though.
