So now what?

What on earth will I do on Wednesdays now that I am done with treatments? LOL! I still have lot of appointments, at least one a week through the end of the month and maybe even in to December. I'm not sure how long I have to have my weekly blood work. When I go next week, if my counts are ok, I will get my flu shot. It'll be the first one I've ever had, and after getting the flu two times last year, I promised myself that I would get one this year! Then blood work the week after that, and the following week will be time for my appt with the oncologist, and the week after that I have to have my port flushed. Then I know for sure that 3 out of the 5 of us have dentist appointments this month. The twins will be celebrating their 7th birthday this Sunday. Nana also has a birthday this month. And we can't forget Thanksgiving!! Wow, this month is crammed, I just thought I would get to rest since treatments are over! I have got to get major SERIOUS about my weight! Not only will it help keep the risk down for the cancer to come back, but I can't get my reconstruction done until I get some of it off. I think I will be asking for a month's membership to the gym from several family members, that would work wouldn't it? But I need to start before then, with better eating habits at least. Well, on to something different, how was Halloween? We had a good one. Despite being tired from chemo, I managed to get the kids in costume. Ethan changed his mind at the last minute. He was suppose to be Groucho Marx with the funny glasses and black hat, but ended up being a farmer. Autumn was a witch. Grayson was the cutest lil cowboy ever! It might have something to do with the fact that I was just super proud that I made his costume, very cleverly and CHEAP! For his vest, I just got some of the felt sheets at WM, cut them in a vest shape and left enough on the sides for fringe, then sewed them on a shirt he already had, and for the pants, I used a pair of his jeans and the chaps are made from a pair of pj's I had! Just cut them out and sewed 'em on! Of course I used really big stitches so I could take everything off since it was clothes he normally wears. The hat was one that Autumn or Ethan wore for kindergarten graduation, so we already had that too. His mamaw took him and bought his some cowboy boots. She bought him a sheriff's badge too but he wouldn't wear it when it came time, lol! Anyway, here are some pics so you can see for yourself.




Doug's mom took them to family close by before I got home from chemo, then I took me and Doug took them to their kindergarten teacher's house that lives really close, and then down to Doug's brother's house. And that was it, terrible isn't! Believe it or not, they got just as much candy as if we had went to 20 houses, so I don't feel bad at all! I'm tired. I was really hoping that I wouldn't feel as bad this week as I did last, but I'm not sure it's gonna happen. Last wknd was BAD! I stayed in bed all day long Sunday, and didn't do much on Monday either. I'm just glad it's over so I can concentrate on feeling better now. I'm going to Kim's tomorrow for some scrapping, but I may just work on some "thank you" cards since I haven't sent any out to those that donated to my race fund, especially if I'm not feeling good. And a special note for my aunt Barbara, thank you so much for always leaving me a comment! Love ya bunches and I hope your beach trip was great!!
