Carolin's New Hobby

The lovely summer of 2004 came to an abrupt end when Carolin was diagnosed with cancer. What follows are the random thoughts and experiences of the Camerons as Carolin fights back.

Back to a healthy lifestyle

Well I took the entire month of August off from going to the gym. Other than walking the dog and my big breast cancer walk, my body had a whole monh to lay about. So this was the first week back to working out. I have decided to start running again. My last run was back in February. I am starting out really really slow and running 2.5 minutes and walking 2.5 minutes for a total of 35 minutes. My legs have been fine but my lungs are burning. Rylie says that running is harder than walking too. On Wednesday was my first day back at the gym. I did a Body Pump class. It was nice to see all my friends again after the summer and it felt good to sweat hard in a class. Hopefully I can keep things up through this next round of chemo.

So Jessica is back at school and life is returning to a normal schedule. That works good for me.

I had a wonderful weekend in Pincher Creek. Got 19 pages completed without any pressure and that felt great. Now that I have a new scrapbook room upstairs I hope to do more pages at home in my spare time.

That is about it. I am going to try and wean myself from these steroids. I am quite disturbed but the weight gain. I am not having any other side effects other than my hands shake. But that is a small side effect.

Gotta run to get Jess from the bus.

Love Carolin

    I'm in Carolyn's Bible Study in Norway. You have a good friend in Carolyn, she has asked a lot of us to pray for you and your family. So while you are sleeping sweetly in Calgary, we are covering you in prayer in Stavanger! Love from your sisters half a world away.
