8 weeksNov 10 2009 14:22
I've decided to be supper positive these next 8 weeks. I'm going to believe that the changes I've made personally will help. Being with family, eating better and trying to walk more. I'm not going to let this get me in a funk. I hope that my new cancer support group will help too.
I'm kind of nervous about going to my first meeting tonight. Why? I'm not sure. Maybe cause its admitting that I really have cancer. Or am that bad off. I hope I find someone that has the same problems with their hands and has some good remedies.
The hospital also has other activites for patients and their families. The two Tai Chi classes are on Mondays. I have to see if one falls on one of my short days and I can go. There is also a jewelry making class that I'm going to sign up for. I've been wanting to try it. If I like it Bonnie says she has a bunch of the stuff I could use.
I feel bad that I haven't been in chat. Or really kept up with everyones journals. I don't know what I do all day now.
Bonnie has left for Tampa to see family. Me & Nathan have to get together over what we are going to eat this week. I was looking for protien to eat today and turned my nose up at rotissery chicken (LOL that used to be all I'd eat). I picked shrimp. I'm just getting too spoiled. I hope I don't have to cook this week. The guys will be really disappointed. But they both like to cook.
Its raining here from tropical storm Ida. I got up at the usual time but feel back to sleep. I do have a few important things to do today. We are setting up a new bank account for me so I have to change things with my job.
Good news: my sister got one of the check for the correct to my 2008 tax returns. With the second check my recliner will almost be paid off.
I'm thinking about getting Gary & Bonnie the Family Fued game. Hey, its really for me since I love the game and live here now. LOL I know I should be ashamed.
So for the next 8 weeks - no thinking about funeral arrangements, no thinking about what to leave to whom, and please I don't want to here the phrase "make you as comfortable as possible" makes me think of people really on the last leg and getting morphine.
Ok I won't use the phrase even though I was thinking of it in relation to envy over your new recliner :P ((Kim)) Things are going great, a tai chi class sounds like so much fun! |
Hehehe I was thinking the same thing as Rune - perhaps you should add a disclaimer that the phrase "comfortable as possible" CAN be used when referring to the recliner. But other than that - I shall banish those words from my vocabulary. :) I think you have an excellent plan of attack. I believe that there is something to be said for mind over matter. {{Kim}} |
Hi Kim. I don't comment on your posts much but I really liked this post. It just feels positive. I would love the jewelry making! I hope it turns out to be fun for you. I'm jealous that you have a comfortable recliner too. A long time ago I replaced my favorite recliner with a stationary bike...so I would exercise instead of do nothing. Stupid idea! :) I wish you (and Tucker) a wonderful day today. |
*runs through waving hands in the air* Everybody sing. {{{Kimne}}} You have a prezzie headed your way. It should arrive in 10-12 business days (November 24-26). |
Yay for a comfortable recliner! I love your positive attitude! Take care and lots of hugs. |
Spread love, Darlin'. Just keep spreadin' love. {{{{{Kim}}}}} |
i am a strong believer in the power of positive thinking! i really think the cancer group is a great idea. it will be good to be around people who not only support you, but really understand exactly what you are going through. and tai chi and jewelry making sound fun! |
Making jewelry sounds awesome, something I would love to do. We have a Family Feud game from when my kids were little. The board, not the DVD. It was and is a favorite. Whenever we're together, we get some game going, we have a closet full of games. Love your new resolve. Mind over matter works. {{{Kim}}} |
(((Hugs)))!!!! The support group will give you some good feedback on solutions to some of the side effects Im sure :-) |
Jewerly making sounds great. Are you making our christmas gifts. I love jewerly. It sounds like a cool class. Hugs |
Jewelry making is a lot of fun! I made Christmas presents for all of my nieces, and my mother, and it was a huge hit. One of these days, when the girls are a bit older and less inclined to scatter it all, I'll take it up again.
