Things have been getting better lately now that I'm so close to the end! With two left in December it still kinda felt out of reach, but now that I'm into January with one left I feel like my finger tips are touching the end and in just a week and a half I'm going to take hold. There was a definite lull in the middle there where I was just so sick of everything, still am, but I honestly wasn't sure how I was going to do it with each day ticking by so slowly and each day the same as the last, BUT, that's pretty much all over now. Anyone can do something for two weeks, or one more time.
Mom and I headed up to Huntsman this time. We dropped off some goodies at clinic 2C and chatted with the doc for a few minutes before going down to infusion. There was a snow storm on the way home that made it a two hour drive! Since I was in lala land it felt like fifteen minutes-ish. Sorry mom. We got home safe though and I now have another chemo weekend over with, one with no puking...yippy-ki-yay!
I'm so excited. I've been longing for six months for my life not to be centered around chemotherapy, to not have to 'plan' to be sick every other weekend. Waiting for my body to get back to being how it was. I was told after a while it really wouldn't feel like my body because it stops reacting how you expect it to, that's totally how it is. I feel like I've almost forgotten what it's like to be how I was back in the summer, it just seems like this is how I will always feel now. THAT, is what's so exciting, it's not forever! I want so badly to never have to do chemo again, and lucky me I think I may just get my wish! I'm excited to actually see the progress! See my hair start to grow again, see my body start to plump up a bit, (I might regret saying that one day). This is it, and I have never been more excited about anything. One more baby.

I am absolutely THRILLED for you! You've got such a great attitude! Way to go, Lindsay!
