March 19, 2005

I have been cleared to return to work on Monday, and I am anxious to do that.  Not sure how many hours I will last, but I really need to get out of the house.  It’s been hard to be home without seeing people, including my friends and the people I work with.  I have discovered that it’s difficult for me to exist without people around!  Of course that really shouldn’t be a surprise to me…

I had no real pain from my surgery, only soreness, most of which has disappeared.  I started weekly chemo on Thursday, and yesterday that hit me pretty hard, but today I feel pretty good.  Now I can drive and do almost everything else EXCEPT teach my spin class!  For me, going without exercise has been like being without air!  I can go back to biking on March 28, but we’ll be on spring break that week, so it will actually be another week after that until I can go back to class — yikes!  I am getting very antsy!!!

I am getting behind on my thank you notes, but I plan to write them today.  Having people bring dinner on my bad days has been a HUGE help for our family.  And all the cards and little gifts have been very important to me and appreciated more than you know.  But mostly I just miss seeing everyone out and about.  I am looking forward to getting the chance some time soon to go to some sort of big party – probably the first one will be the Century Club dinner/dance next month.

And since I have purchased so many shoes lately, I will have just the right pair to wear that night :-)
