Feb. 22nd

I apologize for being so slow with my updates.  Nothing much is different.  My meds are straightened out and I am now feeling pretty good most of the time.  I am not ready to run any races yet but for the most part I am doing well.  I get frustrated with a couple of things - chemo brain for one.  I thought post menopausal forgetfulness was bad - it doesn't hold a candle to "chemo brain".  Trying to hold a thought is very difficult and makes getting back to writing impossible at the moment.  I am journaling however and that hopefully is keeping things in my mind somewhere. :-)  The other frustrating thing that goes along wit this is that my creative energy has come back and my physical energy is lacking.  So even if I can hold thoughts together I run out of energy before I get very far.  Oh well, things could be much worse.

Mostly I am so grateful for how well i am doing and for the fact that I will recover.  I see so many people in much worse places and it can only make be thankful.  I continue to be so thankful for all the cards, notes, thoughts, prayers, etc. that come my way.  I am truly blessed!!!
