I feel good! In fact, if I didn't have the constant reminders of head covers laying around the house, minor physical discomforts and the "cancer" idea looming in my head all the time... I would almost not even believe its happening to me!
Throughout the past 2 months, I have tried so hard to continue working out regularly. That is something that is so important to me. Not to burn calories or lose weight. Simply because it clears my mind. It invigorates me and makes me feel like I still have control over something. It makes me feel strong and in charge of something! I ran the other day for the first time since the mastectomy. YES! I feel so "normal" right now.
I can't wait for the Race for the Cure in Salt Lake City on May 8th. You better believe I'll be a part of that. These are my people :) I have such a love and such compassion for anyone who has been affected by this disease. My heart has grown, my outlook has been broadened and I welcome these changes with arms wide open!!!

ReplyDeleteWhat a shock it was last week to go to your blog. You are so strong and you seem very upbeat. I think of you often !! You will be just as beautiful with no hair. Keep up with the positive outlook. You are such a great example to me. I have a package for you. I will send it when I can get to the post office between nursings.
