#3 Down!

Mabel and a photo bombing nurse

So today I found out these 12 treatments are considered four 3 weekly cycles so not only did I finish my third treatment, I finished my first cycle! Yippee!!!! I had my 2 lovely daughters with me the whole time since Joe was out of town. They are great entertainment (even though Kendall beats me every time I play games with her!). We did our usual "show up early for blood work" and then grabbed a bite to eat to kill time waiting on the results. 

Blood Levels Down = No Hugs ;o(

Well, my blood levels are dropping a little but not enough to have called off this treatment at least. I have been fighting a sore throat and and swollen glands. I am sure that had something to do with it. I am on a strict NO HUG policy now and it is so hard for me...come on, I am a HUGGER!!! I hug everyone all the time and now I really have to use some restraint with that. I haven't stooped to the mask thing yet. Between claustrophobia from it and looking like an idiot I just have not gone there yet. My one client that is a nurse says that after you wear them for about 1/2 hour they really do not work that well anyway. I so think that other than at work, if I am going to be in a social environment I may have to bring myself to use them. I just want to stay on track with the treatments as much as possible. Sooooo, if you see me wearing a mask let's give it a laugh together and move past it. Hey, in Japan they do it all the time. In fact the people who wear them are the ones that don't feel well. They are very considerate about not spreading their germs! I like that...Tokyo here I come!

Lunch, Beach, Rosary and Blessings

The girls decided that since I was a really good girl today that we could go have lunch! LOL We ended up eating at Prep Kitchen in Del Mar and it was very yummy. Then we walked down to the beach and said the Rosary together. It is so special so share that with my daughters. It is so beautiful to sit and see and hear the waves breaking on the shore and rocks. My favorite part is the incredible fresh breeze that dances across your face. I feel like the Holy Spirit is all around me and letting me know things are going to be okay. It is my plan to pray the Rosary at the beach after every treatment. What a lovely and appropriate way to give thanks!
