I think your Dr's forgot about the positive effect of the boot "stomping and kicking"!

Great news Kendra, so happy for you that the treatment is going so well. Keep up the good work and your happy positive attitude.

As always, I appreciate the words of encouragement and support! I'm feeling pretty bloated right now, I guess because of all the steroids they pump into me to help with the side effects of chemotherapy. However, I'm feeling well otherwise and should be ready to go back to work tomorrow. I only teach from 8 to 11 so I'll have all afternoon to rest, if needed.

Our son came out to visit from California for the weekend. It's the first we've seen him since before Christmas. There's a chance he'll be going to Iraq this summer but if not, we hope to go see him in San Diego and our daughter in Denver in August. I truly hope to be done with chemo by then but we'll just have to see what the scans show.

I hope y'all are doing well and looking forward to a thinner summer! :unsure:

Good luck on your first day back at work! :) If they don't behave themselves, you now have this amazing boot to kick them you know where!!! :blink:

Great news about your son coming home, shame about Iraq though. How long has it been since you've seen your daughter? As I said before family and friends are so important at a time like this. Enjoy! :biggrin2:

We haven't seen our oldest daughter since Christmas either so we're definitely going to go see her in August!

My students are wonderful and require no kicking! They're all on my side, too, so they look out for me. I can't believe how quickly we bonded but it's a great class! :scared2:

Take care, Sades! :tongue:

Oh, my students aren't kids! I teach at community college so my students are all adults. The program I'm teaching this summer is a college prep program, getting them ready for the math entrance test. There were 500 applicants for the program and only 30 got in. I have 15 of them and they all happen to be women. All of them are working on two-year degrees in the medical field except one who wants to be a computer network administrator. They are very hard-working and motivated -- a teacher's dream class! :biggrin2:

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
