This morning I went to Well Fit and even increased my repetitions a bit and my weight on one of the exercises...and I was challenged by my trainer to go from my knees to my toes when doing the plank. It was so much harder and I have a long way to go...but I did it!!
Today the nurse came to the house to give me my Neulasta Injection. She comes the day after each chemo treatment. Neulasta is a white cell booster that helps my body produce more white blood cells to reduce my risk of infection. Sometimes I can feel it working in my bones - they get a little achy.
Matt took a picture so you could check out my hair loss so far. Still have some hair on my head...not sure how that's possible with the amount we clean out of the tub every day and off my pillows!! It's incredible how much hair you really have on your head!!
A few thanks I want to share - to Bette & Jenna for the cool new books you dropped off for me and to George & Pam for the gift certificate to buy more! I'm so spoiled!
I also want to send out some loving to my cousins who had to say goodbye to their beautiful puppy TJ. I'm thinking about you guys and know you will be missing him like crazy!! Much love and hugs from Waterloo!!
Sending good luck vibes to my nieces Emma & Olivia who are gearing up for the fiddle contest tomorrow. I know you girls will make us proud. Smile and enjoy it!! And somebody take pictures for me!!
Well...it's nap time for me. Happy safe and long weekend to everyone.
With lots of love always!!
