Blessed

I am doing well.  At least until I do chemo again this week.  :):)   We had a fun week end.  We made a super quick trip to UT.  We left on Saturday and came home on Sunday.  In that short amount of time we got a baby blessed, a Priesthood ordination done,  lots of loves and hugs, a session with the foot zoner, and a trip to Cafe Rio.  :):)   Earlier last week I really worried that I would not have the stamina for the trip but I did extremely well.   Yay!  Sweet memories.

Zoning the feet helps stimulate the nerves and increase blood flow to the organs connected to the nerves in the feet.  I love this foot zoner.  She used to be a hospice nurse and years ago she cured herself of cancer.  She is so knowledgeable.   I learned from her that the chemo accumulates in the outer extremities because the body is trying to protect the vital organs from the chemo, so, because of the damage and chemo in my feet the whole experience was extremely painful.  After one foot I joked that maybe that was enough, we could skip the other foot.  She thought there was some improvement from my last visit to her in July. This could simply be results from the chemo treatments.

I was able to ride my bike this morning.  I think we ride at least 7 miles.   I can't believe I am able to do these things during this heavy chemo.  I pray it will continue.  I do feel very blessed.  Tired, but blessed. :):):)
