chemo day

i had chemo #3 today, and all is well.  my counts were much higher than last time, so the neulasta shot did it's job.  i'll get my next dose of chemo on saturday, and then the next neulasta on monday.  followed by my 1st meeting with the plastic surgeon.  then on tuesday i meet with the cancer surgeon again.  hopefully after all of that i'll have a surgery plan and possibly a surgery date in the calendar.  

julie brought us dinner again tonight- yummy quesadillas :)  she's so wonderful!!

i had an amazing day on sunday- missing bowling saturday sucked, but my sunday made up for it. i was able to change the sheets on the kids beds with symma, work in the garden for a bit, play outside with malachy and joel and julie, and then i took the girls to the playground all by myself while kj napped.  

i must say i have a new found respect for kenny.  he's been taking the girls to the park a lot on his own since i've been sick.  and i did it all the time last summer.  what i didn't realize was that when i did it, izzy was immobile.  not so anymore.  the child is fast.  and fearless.  she climbs everything she can, and slides down everything she can (even when she lands on her head).  she goes across the bouncy bridge which symma didn't do until last year...  it's crazy!  i can't believe that he does this on almost a daily basis.  you can't keep up with her.  thank goodness i had symma there to spot her when i couldn't get to her :)  i was able to do it, though, so it was an awesome day!! 

i'm going to watch scrubs with my hubby now.  more another day :)
