Here is just a little update on what's going on around here since I'm not blogging much these days...
- My computer is still in the shop. The hard drive died... sob sob. I'm hoping that by next week it will be back home. My wonderful and generous SIL Anjie is letting me use her old lap top so that I can keep up with all my tree orders for Mother's Day. She has totally saved me, I'm so grateful for her!
- I had a Pet Scan on Monday and will see my doctor on Thursday, May 6th to go over the results. So no new cancer news until then. My mom came down for a whole 24 hours, just so she could play with Tru while I sat in my bedroom and read books, magazines, and napped. Isn't that nice? It's so hard to not touch Tru after one of these scans, he is such a mama's boy and a cuddle bug, so I really appreciate her coming to help me!
- This is going to be Trent's last week of night classes EVER (hopefully? fingers crossed). He's been going to work at 6 AM and getting home around 9:30 PM for the last month, and it's killing all of us. Tru just cries because he misses Trent and doesn't see him at all for days. I miss having a husband and someone else to entertain Tru. So we will all be happy when finals are over this week.
- My hair is growing in, it's so soft and fuzzy. I can't stop feeling my fuzzy head. I'm excited, I hope that it grows fast. My eyelashes are filling in too but they are super short, and my eyebrows are starting to come back. About 2 1/2 weeks after my last treatment everything started coming in, so it happened pretty quick. Also, I went from popping pills all day long for one thing or another to taking no medication at all other than vitamins (well, and you know, the no baby making pill). The only real side affect I'm still feeling from chemo is getting worn out really easy. I can do one big thing a day (like cook a big meal and do the dishes afterwards) and then I'm done, totally out of it.
- I have 25 lbs to loose... annoying. I hate that non of my clothes fit, so Monday I'm going to start really working out everyday. I've been walking with my pregnant friend, and she leaves me in the dust, that's how out of shape I am! So I'm going to start on Monday and work out everyday. Everything that I have read online says that exercise helps speed up the recovery time from chemo so I'm all for that. I'm still pretty exhausted all the time, but I think if I sit around waiting for my energy to come back it will never happen. I'll be careful though and if it feels like too much I will take a break for a few days.
There you go! I hope that you all have a great weekend!

So good to hear from you - I miss your blog posts. They are inspiring, real accounts of life as it goes sometimes. Thanks for being you!!! I would love to exercise with you too!!
I see the sunshine breaking through! It's so exciting to hear that sunshine in your posts! I am so happy for you!
Hey Meg, Its great to hear from you. I hope you get good news from the scan. I'm glad Trent is almost done so that he can be home with you guys. What is he going to school for? And I can totally relate about the weight situation. Trying to lose weight is definitely overwhelming sometimes. Good luck with working out and getting healthy again.
I'm excited for you too. I'm also glad you've set some goals for the next little while. I know they always help me. If you need someone to watch Tru, I'd love too. I know what those long days are like.
(side note) I too am looking forward to Dale being home at a decent hour, even if it is just for the next month. :D Yeah for hard working husbands!!
yeah.... i've been pretty bad about the excersize part.. hopefully i can get myself to do that soon. that was so nice of your mom to come, nice break.
I'm so happy that you updated! I always wonder/worry/pray for you and it's good to know what's going on. I'm glad that you can at least do one big thing a day...it's better than nothing at all. You have the same amount of weight to lose as I do...*sigh*. Keep up the positive attitude! I love you!
Hi Meg! You posted on my blog awhile back after I shared my story on Design Mom. For some reason, I never saw the post until today. Sorry! I wish I would have seen it sooner and offered you more support during your treatment. Good luck with your PET. I don't know which part makes me more anxious...the results or all the waiting you have to do (waiting room, dark room, long tube, etc...)! I'll be thinking about you. My email address is royandbrenna at gmail dot com. I would really love to be in touch with you. It's nice to have someone you can share your experiences with and we seem to have a lot in common. Hope you week goes quickly and I've got my finger's crossed for good news!
