One Month Down

No real news from me - today is one month since I had my surgery and I feel good. Learning what I can eat and what doesn't work for me - usually by trial and error. I need a fill - I can definitely eat more than I could last week at this time. I'm scheduled to have it on August 5.

 

News on my mom is that she has started brain radiation. I'm so proud of her for choosing to fight this damn cancer. So we go to Austin every day to have it done for 20 treatments. Hopefully it will help with her balance issues and slow the growth of the tumors in her brain so that we can then focus on the breast cancer. It's terrible that her vision is almost gone.

 

It really puts things in perspective for me. I certainly don't want to diminish what we are all doing, but when I see my mom fighting just to live a little longer, I realize that I must take my cues from her. That's what we are trying to do as bandsters - just live longer and healthier.

 

God bless Rose, my mom, and God bless all of us as we fight for OUR health.

Hi Laura, Is your mom Rose? My mom is Rosemary!! Hang in there kiddo. It sounds like you are going to be busy in the up coming weeks. WE can do this together. I blogged tonight and just read yours. ;-) I got my first fill today. OMG I hope yours goes more smoothly than mine did. I have been thinking about you. Love Kathy imaluckydog

    • I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
