Not bouncing back..

I'm definitely having a harder time bouncing back from this last round of chemo. The cumulative effect must be kicking in. I did make it to the gym yesterday and did Body Pump (weights) but I don't have the energy to do any cardio. This combination of chemo and steriods is not making my bathroom scale very happy. The doctor gets very concerned if you start gaining weight because of toxicity. I am definitely retaining a lot of water. People try to resassure me that it is just water but it doesn't make me feel any better. I worked so hard to get into shape and now I will have to do it all over again. I am on the 5 week count down (2 weeks until the next chemo and 3 weeks recovery) to when I can get my life and body back to normal.

I am going away this long weekend to Pincher Creek for a scrapbooking retreat. I need to get my scrapbooks up to date. It is important for me to have these done for Jessica. I try to stay positive but there are days when I think about not being here and how hard that will be for Jessica.

Not much else knew. I'll write again soon.
