Sorry I haven't posted an update. I have been feeling great and been busy doing life as normal, and I haven't taken time to post.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Ours was great!!!! Everything tasted so yummy and I was so glad that I was able to eat without getting sick. Dan and I went out shopping the day after Thanksgiving. We didn't go out until 8 am, and it was fun to shop and get some good deals.
Over the weekend we got the house all decked out for the holidays. Lights everywhere inside and out. Abby (our 7 year old) said that she thinks we have the best looking house anywhere. The magic is so fun with little kids. At first I thought I didn't want to bother with all of the work of getting all of the decorations out, but I am so glad that we did. It really puts you in the Christmas spirit so see all of the twinkling lights and the nativity, and the tree, and garlands. So beautiful!
We went with my family down to Salt Lake City to see the lights at Temple Square. It was so pretty. My favorite part is when you go in the visitors center and walk up the ramp and see the statue of Christ. It was hard not thinking about the possibility that I will be making that journey after this life sooner rather than later. It was wonderful to think about being in His presence again. I love this time of year when we celebrate Jesus' birth and life and mission.
Well I went to visit the radiation Oncologist today. He said I will need about 25 treatments. So once a day for 5 weeks. It is better than 6 weeks! He won't be doing radiation to my hip and pelvis at this time, but he will try to extend the treatment field to radiate my sternum (which had cancer) I go in for my simulation and tattoos tomorrow morning.
I am really tired today after being so busy for so many days. My brain thinks I want to and can do everything, but my body says "Slow down!!! I'm exhausted." It is hard to find a balance. I can't wait until I am done with treatment, and life can go back to normal.
