while going through my 3rd of 4 chemo rounds.
Also taking cardio classes including treadmill, bike, information on life style and diet all which hooked up to heart monitors.
But the hardest thing for me is breathing on really cold days which we have had plenty of here with little rain to accompany it. Bad year for skiers so far. No new snow.
We rented a three bedroom condo in Government Camp for 2 days before Xmas. The outdoor heated pool was our exercise. Movies on a 5 foot TV, a jigsaw puzzle and group cooking and eating were the big activities.
Sister Marta arrives Friday to travel to Elizabeth's beach house this weekend with me and then to accompany me to my last day of chemo Monday until two weeks from now. So by late January I am done with treatment and on to every 3 month checkups.
Hope to get on a bike outside in February and see what my reduced lungs will let me do. Hydrate, exercise, breathe, keep my weight up: my mantra with Deborah's coaching reminders.
Wish each of you a wonderful 2014, and I am sharing my own wish: a cancer free year for everyone!
From dry, chilly Portland, Deborah and I extend an invitation to each of you to come visit and see this place when you can make it.

I'd add laugh to your mantra. See The Secret Life of Walter Middy. Great film in many ways. I was sort of dragged there and so very glad. Would make anyone feel good and maybe laugh. I certainly did. xo karen
ReplyDeleteGreetings from chilly Austin!
ReplyDeleteVery good to hear from you, and hear that you are so close to your last chemo treatment.
Seems like, as usual, you are focused on the right things and determined to do all that is within your power to get back to health.
Happy New Year wishes and hugs,
