Oh CHEMO brain...

Chemo Brain has become my latest residual effect that I am frustrated by.  I guess I could cut myself some slack since our family schedule is growing increasingly more and more busy BUT I hate when I make a mistake with our schedule... and I did that today in a huge way!

I double booked us with our bowling Christmas gathering and one of our family Christmas gatherings.  Each would be so hard to miss and we wanted to be at both.  I agreed to the family gathering whole heartedly without even thinking that it would be on the same day as our bowling league.  Keith is the VP of the league so this is one year we cannot skip out on a third Saturday of the month.  The family, of course, came through and have helped us change to the Sunday for the family Christmas celebration!  They are the best!  We love our Klunder Christmas and would be so sad to not be with everyone!

I have also doubled up on one of my appointments for Herceptin and leaving for the Blackhawks game Friday.  This should work out fine as long as we get everything to work out on time... OH yeah!  We were blessed with 4 tickets to the Blackhawks game this Friday night.  Cousin Tim gave us tickets again and we could not be more excited!!  We are also so excited because we are able to take our dear friends, Wendi and Ken who have kept the girls throughout chemo and all other treatments!  They are excited to go and we are so happy to be able to do something to thank them for all they have done for us!  

Really if I look at all that I have been able to do these past months and all I am taking on in life it is amazing!  I am so proud of how strong I have become and how much I have come to appreciate all I am able to do.  I still have the moments that I am frustrated with my inability to do something or lack of energy to finish something.  BUT overall I am so glad I am able to do all that I do now.
