Getting Stronger

I have been home 10 days and it has been wonderful.   I feel that I turned a corner this weekend and have more strength and better appetite.   I have spent less time on the couch or bed during the course of each hour and love to be up and doing things.  Although, my body will let me know when it's time to hit the couch and rest.  I'm respecting that and I am not over doing in any sense.  My days are pretty lazy.  But if I can get the dishwasher loaded and unloaded and the laundry done, I am happy.  I can even read now as my vision is not blurry like it was in the hospital.  (The chemo does weird things.)  
     I hope to even start making some trips to the grocery store soon.   I can do this without a mask on as long as it's not peak time and I don't detect any sick people around. (It means keep a distance from people)   I would love to be able to even drive a little.  Maybe next week.  I'm not on any medications now that make me drowsy.  I just need a little more strength. I'm even going to start walking around the neighborhood for short periods.  
      I'm grateful for the help the neighbors and ward are giving me with meals 3X a week.   I've been able to eat more and it tastes all so good.   I really hate to be the center of attention, but so grateful for all the help we have received.   I am learning how to accept help and I am so grateful for every effort in my behalf.  
     We got word yesterday that I will start the next round in about 2 1/2 weeks.  It will start with chemo, and it looks like it will be outpatient.   I'm so glad for that.  The chemo isn't as potent as the last go around, so it will be nice to be home.   And then I will go to the hospital for another lengthy-probably longer than the last stay.
      Thank-you again for all your support and love.  We couldn't do this alone.
Love,
Kathy
