If you've been wondering where I've been, I'm on vacation. It's my annual It's Christmas week and the kids have a week off from school and I don't know what the hell else to do so we're skiing trip.
My last radiation treatment was December 23. Since then I first got caught up in the whole Christmas Eve/Day whirlwind, then we left for New Hampshire on December 26.
I have to say, it was the perfect way to end it. After my last radiation treatment, I didn't have a moment to think about what I'd just been through because of the whole holiday thing, and now I'm away from my normal routine. If I was at home, there would be constant reminders.
Even better at getting my mind off what I just went through, this year I started to volunteer in the adaptive skiing program we participate in for my son. Thus far I've worked with two students and it's been a wonderful experience.
Less than one week out from my last treatment I'm already feeling less burned, and much of the fatigue has dissipated as well.
Even better, my psyche is on the mend as well.
Unfortunately, there isn't much snow up here in New Hampshire. While we've been able to go alpine skiing, Nordic is not possible.
Glad you were able to take sometime out to smell the roses (so to speak). Many blessings in the new year.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are finished with radiation and that you are feeling better. Celebrate the New Year and pray for more snow!
