Hey, I just thought I would write. I'm doing good. Happy June! So, It's been a full year (April 17th '08) since my last chemo. I have been through physical therapy & my own therapy. I am doing pretty good. My hair is 100 % over my ears now, but where they did radiation.... at the base of my head and behind my ears, and around, hair seems to not be growing at all, or even want to grow. And it's been a year =(.....But at least I have hair that's growing over the bare part. I'm kinda bummed about the radiated spot though.... But oh well. God still loves me!!
I have a job now. and was hired in late April, so it's been a month now. I work at kroger as a bagger. I was originally hired on as a cashier but after a week, I wasn't quick enough dealing with the money, etc. So I escaped to an easier job-or so I thought-bagging. Ya... it's not easier.... but same pay.
Do I like it?
No!
But at least I am out and about on my own two feet!! Makin' a living.... and working like a normal adult =) I know it's hard to find a job now-days, so I will stick with this one.
And I like to talk to the customers, "How are you doing?" And all that. I have learned already that cancer is in everyone's family, although I don't boast about it but in some of our conversations I tell them I had brain cancer and how I have come through it and they always seem to be shocked at where I am at now and it's only been two years since my diagnosis.
But I'm still lookin' for another job or magically win the lottery.....
I still live with mom & dad. I don't have a boyfriend (unless there is one out there that proves to me, there not all the same). So marraige & a living on my own is far, far away! I just take everyday, a day at a time. Whatever happens, happens. I wish it was a little more fun to type about haha.
Mom, dad, brother, sister, bro-in-law, and nephew are all doing great. And the only man in my bed, Dupree... I love him so much. If I didn't have him, I wouldn't laugh as much as I do!! And such a little creature he is, to take up our whole queen sized bed!! Ughh
Hahaha, well good night everyone.
And I'll write later!
