A Winter Break Update

The last two rounds of chemotherapy really left me drained. After the last cycle - which ended December 22 - just having a shower was exhausting, and I spent most of the days sleeping on the couch. 

Knowing that surgery was going to be in two to three months, the plan was to get healthy again ASAP. 

Along with almost everybody else, I got a nasty cough on December 29 - one that lasted for two weeks. I basically just lounged around on the couch for the three weeks after Christmas.

Now things seem more stable. I am getting stronger - although the weather is not cooperating to get outside for a walk to test my endurance.  But doing tasks around the apartment/building is much easier.

I got a surgery date - February 29. Even though I haven't done much (exercise wise) I am getting stronger - just feel less drained and overall feel almost back to normal.

Thanks to everyone who's checked in. Lots of food, lots of phone calls and messages.

Not much else to add - in a holding pattern until the end of February.
