I am finding it fun to do things I have not had energy to do in so many months!!  Tonight I baked chocolate chip cookies and zucchini bread.  It feels so great to be back to "normal."  It is a new normal since I did have to take a nap this afternoon since I was still tired from the weekend and work was rather busy. 

I am looking forward to gaining even more strength over time and find all the other things I have not done while fighting this cancer.  It is like Christmas each day when I open up a new activity that I have not enjoyed in a long time! 

A new nightly ritual we have started in this family is to play a rowdy bunch of games of Uno right before bed.  The girls have gotten so into playing this game and they are all at the perfect ages to play it!  Keith and I played with them last night and then the girls and I played tonight.  It is a great way to find family time and have our competitive nature come out in a good way.  These are some great memories!

I know you will say I am crazy but I am Katelynn's room mom!  I was called last night and decided I wanted her to have a great year overall so I took the "job" since no one else did.  I have already googled ideas for 4th grade parties and think this will be a lot of fun in the end.  ...We will see!

I have to make more appointments to check in with the doctors and find out the next steps.  I will meet with Dr. Lu to discuss when the final surgery will be now that radiation is over.  I have to talk with Dr. Ganshirt about the possibility of putting in another port... still not sure about this!  My veins are difficult but I do not know if I want to put another port in?!?!?!  I see Dr. Posner in a few weeks as well as Dr. Chung.  Herceptin is this Friday afternoon so all is just moving in the right direction!  I do have to begin the Tamoxifen which I have put off for a week and need to just start it!
