Someone asked me how I was feeling...
My absence from the blogging world shows that I am feeling GREAT!!!
I'm finally up off of the couch and doing things again. Yesterday I decided that I wanted to make a skirt for myself and I honestly burst into tears as I crouched on the ground, cutting out my pattern. It's been so long since I've been able to do something for me like this. I usually spend the energy I have to do the things that I have to do like laundry, cleaning, dishes. So that was really nice to have the time and energy to sew a skirt again.
I really am feeling terrific. I've been working out, making three meals a day, keeping up on all the chores around here, going swimming with my boys, I am feeling wonderful.
I have my days, when I've done too much and I have to slow down and take it easy, but those days are getting farther and farther apart from each other so that is good.
It's funny how the mind forgets. It's only been two months since my last treatment but I'm already forgetting how time consuming and burdensome it was to go through chemo. It's been a whole month since my arm has been pricked for a blood draw. I'm so glad...
The only real side effect I've noticed from being on chemo is that sometimes my fingers and my toes will go numb for no reason. It's like they just fall asleep and tingle... it's weird. I think that it's nerve damage from the chemo, but it's not debilitating at all so I'm okay with that.
Also, I've decided to keep my blog public for now. I've been thinking long and hard about this one, and I think I will keep it open. I started this to be a family blog and I've never really done that. I've really just used this to talk about my feelings on things and thrown in a picture here and there. I'm not really good at documenting, "we did this on Monday, and this on Tuesday..." Yes it may seem a little self centered to have a blog just about me, but I'm getting over that ;). I'm just going to keep things the way that they are and if you'd like to stay for the ride... great!
If I do decide I'm going to be a dedicated family blogger then I will open another blog and just invite our family and friends.
Anyway... I'm really feeling awesome. Thanks for asking ;).

So glad you are feeling great!! I like coming here and reading about you!
I'm glad you are starting to feel more energetic. I actually cleaned my front room slash kitchen today. I was embarrassed that you came over yesterday to give me the cutest and most delicious little gifts and I didn't even have a clean surface to offer to put them on. After I have Curvy we'll have to go to sewing group together or we could even start our own. :D
Love ya Megan!!! Glad you are starting to get the energy back! And I'm glad you are getting into sewing...I am too as a way to relieve some stress...and boy does it feel good!!! Love ya TONS!!!
Yay! Extra energy is really something to be thankful for:) My hands fall asleep all the time since chemo. My dr. didn't really think it was a relevant side effect, but it sure is annoying. It happens all the time when I am holding the phone up to my ear:)
Glad to hear you are doing so well and too busy to sit still and blog.
Meg, this post makes me so happy. I'm so glad you are doing so good! I'm so glad you are happy and doing things you love again. You're recovery is going so well. The tingling- my feet will feel like their swollen, when they aren't. But that's the sensation I get, and I can't feel my toes sometimes. They are a little tingly and numb when I press on them. It was really bad for awhile, and it freaked me out, but it's getting better and better all the time. It seems like it will eventually go away.
Great news! SO glad you are feeling better. It makes my heart happy! Love ya!
I am so thrilled you are feeling great! I totally understand the crying. I cry with appreciation when I see what I am still able to do. Like still being able to take care of and have the things I need to pay my bills and give to my children even when things seem so financial bleak. I have really been thinking about blogging especially after our lesson on journals at church last week. I realized that even though I think know ones cares about what I think and do that my kids will want to know someday and that seeing what I faced in my life and who I felt...the downs as well as the ups will maybe help them not feel so alone someday.
That is SO awesome Meg!! Love to see the difference! How neat is that?! So glad you are staying public. I've goteen so used to reading your blog I was sad when you were thinking about going private!! Take care!!
YEah!!! So happy for you all!
I love your blog...as long as I can keep checking it out I don't care what you do! :)
Meg, I am so happy you are feeling so much better. I love your happy attitude! You are a super example to me!
I'm sooo happy that you are feeling great! There's nothing like feeling better after a long horrible thing to make you so grateful for life! Love ya!
