17/15/15 =3 miles in the McDowell MoutainsX2

The cancer's gone. GONE. Not in remission. Cancer's GONE.
My hair is coming in so fast. I even have enough to make sure it stays behind my ear :)
Cea is waiting with baited breath to start tweezing the eyebrows that are starting to come in too. And let's just say, as far as downstairs is concerned...I'm no longer 12. Closer to 14 I think.
How about 2 weeks in a row I've got to hike the mountains With Julie and Emily. The mountains are beautiful. My muscles are tending to work as though I've been on chemo for 6 months. Wussybutt muscles I say. They had better get in gear and start shaping up. I liked when they were stronger and bigger and could climb a mountain much more easy and willingly. I have faith they will get back to where they should before too long.Next week I really want to double that to 6 miles. I plan on getting to abuse these muscles to play softball here soon. I called the surgeon to get the ports out too. 3 Ca-125's have come back at numbers that are quite celebratory. They are staying below 25. I really really appreciate that.
Work started. It's OK. I really like getting to be a nurse again. But really not appreciating getting up in the morning for that am routine of rushing out the door for school, work...work late...miss madi's softball camp at school. Then having to come home and fit in fixing dinner and housework. Dang being off for 7 months has it's bonus'. I see the Dr on Feb 9th so he can tell me all the scans and labs have come back with no cancer, and let's pull the ports.
Today I got to get down on the field to take pictures at a celebrity baseball game. There were lots of old timers, some new timers, and some guys that just simply paid a lot of money to help sponsor the game to benefit little league. I had a blast talking with all of them. They were all so nice. Pete LaCock from Kansas kept rubbing my head. He told me how he got to be a bone marrow donor and save someones life. It doesn't get much better than that. I only took approx 700 pictures. they should be happy with that. Pete was going to put me out on second base. How cool would that have been??? Then the boss guy cut that plan down. Bummer. But I did get a Giants baseball cap, just in case I played...had to have a hat to play.
My intent is to start getting up and riding soon. I really suck at being cold, so once the sun starts coming up a little later, I'll be good.
Lastly, I did get to beat Chewy up the stairs. It wasn't my fault he was sleeping and didn't hear me get up right away. right when I got to the stairs, I started running. That's when Chewy heard and came running up too. I beat him by a step.....Yeah. I'm sure thinks I was cheating, but if you snooze.. you lose... I say.
I found a lucky penny on the trail Sat. Bonus. :)
Camping is coming up soon :)
I'll put some pics up soon from the baseball game, and hikes. there's some good ones
