Post Treatment #1 - Much Better

This picture was taken today at church! Last weekend, I rested all weekend and didn't make it to church. My stomach was bothering me and I was tired but that was it. I felt better by Monday afternoon and great by Tuesday. I was actually able to work on my new classroom at our Freshman campus and I felt terrific. So, at this point I would say it has been a really good week and I don't even feel like I am on Chemo. I still have my appetite, energy and a normal taste in my mouth. I am sure that will change as they increase my dose but I am happy with how I am doing right now!

I am trying to upload a video for the first time. If it works, take a look at my new classroom on our Freshman Campus! It is bare but I want to show it off before it gets equipment in it. Here are some stills if the video doesn't play.

This Thursday, anyone who can make it out to see me, is invited to Brio in the Winter Park Village from 6 PM to ? The next day, I get my port placement - Yippee! I have until midnight to eat and drink. So, I have to hydrate myself well. (no, I don't mean alcohol - you sillies) Hope to see you there!

I officially start back to work Monday, August 23rd for pre-plan. Yes, Florida has gone from starting back to school in the middle of July to late August. Crazy I know! That week will be very busy because we also have open house at all of our schools! So, I really want to get as much as I can done now. I will also have a lot of equipment to get set up - if it arrives. Then I have my 2nd round of Chemo the first week of school. I will leave school when the students do, go straight to MD Anderson and home. You can see why I want to get a lot of work done now.

Boy, this year is going to be "some kind of fun". Don't worry, I am starting to think my toughest years are my best years. 1992 for example: The year my Dad died and my house was totaled by Hurricane Andrew... I started dating David (my husband - who lost his Grandmother and childhood pet, Princess). But, I also worked on my first TV show at Nickelodeon (GUTS) and then followed that with Clarissa Explains It All - which was awesome! Still, David and I like to say, the year we started dating was the worst year of our lives.
