Ramsgard102: Busy, Fun weekend & Chemo #3

Warning, I had a fun weekend.
So my WBC's continued to rise, as did the energy, so I was able to get out and have some fun. Saturday, Ruby & I helped at the community playground build, it was an awesome thing to be a part of & it is Going to continue to be an awesome part of the community. I did a cartwheel into a handspring to capture the excitement I was feeling and just to let you know, cancer did not take my cheerleading skills away. the split will be next, stay tune.

I only did a 2 hr. half shift so as not to over do it & I did come home and nap. Had a great picnic Dinner with great friends, but again home by 9pm for bed. Everything is possible in moderation in cancer treatment!

Sunday I slept in, walked the dog or long walk, went to ruby's art how at local Bookstore. Ruby did the Adirondack painting on top left, the white reflief on the bottom left, and the egg in far right corner. Thanks to Ms. Janie for all she does with the kids and their art, they love her and the work!

Nice day and we got a new kayak, so off to the lake. Ruby & I kayaked for 3 hrs., the boys were canoeing with the boyscouts on the Erie Canal. during which time, on the wayback to country club, I "dumped" the kayak reaching for my water bottle in back of kayak. Funny now. Bit scary then, but all was well. The lake was cool 62 degrees! My bald head felt it!
A nice dinner waiting for us when we got back from the Meal Train and a massage from Maria in the evening, a new per- chemo treat!

Monday was Chemo #3 .Skaneateles Grandma & great friend, Ms. Bev accompanied Andy & I this week. My WBC's were back up to above normal at 12! One extreme to the other for me.

Saw Dr. Lemke. Brought in the head dress & spread the Chemosabe cheer throughout all the infusion rooms. We made Dr. Lemke sit and pow wow with us, you can see what peace she is at doing this on her face. Might have to start out every day like this at the ROC.
Below, I am trying to have her exam me, seriously, with the headress on.

Met Marcia & her lovely daughters. It was Marcia,s first time, so I sat with her and walk her hrough some of hat o expect and best ways to deal with things. Always good to give back. Marcia looked pretty good in the head dress for her scrapbook picture. She'll be ther on my rotation on Mondays, so I,ll keep an eye on her.

.Ellen & aunt Ann were at a follow up for Aunt Ann's double Matectomy from last month, she is looking and feeling fab & she too looks good in the head dress
