This is a super busy week for appointments. Yesterday (Monday) I had an ultrasound ordered by my OB just to make sure that my ovaries are okay. There’s a question as to whether or not I might go into early menopause. Then, I had my first PT here. It’s been weeks so even though a lot of what we did was evaluation, the exercises I did do are killing me today. The front of my thighs are super ouchy even to the touch! Hopefully, by tomorrow, it’ll be better. I did a lot of walking today and that helped until I stopped or went to sit down.
FUN FACT: Joshua’s Occupational Therapist and my Physical Therapist lady are both named Julie.
Today was the normal Tuesday blood work and bandage change. My levels are either the same or slightly higher. No drops so that’s good.
Tomorrow, I take Jacob to a speech therapist to be evaluated. He has pronounciation problems and Joel and I swear that he sounds like someone from Boston.
Thursday, I have PT again after a morning mammogram. Then, on Friday Joshua has OT. Oh, and Gabriel’s celebrating his 2nd birthday on Saturday.
Whew!
Mom and I go back to Moffitt next week. Our appointment is on Friday, April 23rd in the morning so we’re going to go up Thursday and come back on Friday after the labs and appointment with my BMT doctor.
I’ll pretty happy today because last night I had a horrible headache and ended up going to bed early. I’m always happy to be pain free – although I wish my thighs would stop hurting. Ouch, my muscles.
Keep the prayers coming and add our friends Elli and Manny to your list. Manny was unable to start his round 7 of chemo due to borderline counts. Hopefully, he’ll be where he needs to be next Monday. In the meantime, he needs to rest and enjoy his 30th birthday this week.
