achy bones from boogie boarding
so yesterday, i finally went into the ocean-with my boogie board-and geez, does my body feel it today-
last week i had a visit to the cancer center.
i am 100% male and all of my tests have come back negative for any abnormalities.
woohoo.
this weekend, alison and i went to cape may. it was really pretty there and a great weekend, but there were NO waves.-so i was bummed and the water was freezing. So yesterday we left at about 9am and went to Avon by the sea, where there were waves and the water wasn't that bad-and for the first time, since last summer, i got to swim. i was so excited. i mean, swim in the ocean.
i am going to start school again in september, primarily online classes.
Last week was really great, I got to see my niece for the first time, in a long time. I was taking my pills in front of her one evening, and she of course, liked to the purple one-nexium that i take in the morning-
I walked away to get soem water to take my pills and she was on her way upstairs. All of a sudden, this little five year old shouts at me, "YOU BETTER TAKE YOUR PILLS SO YOU DON"T LOSE YOUR HAIR AGAIN".
I just said"okay" to her and started to laugh.
We thought for a long time she thought I lost my hair because of medicine but she thinks these pills are bringing my hair back, so I assume my sister will not have any problem getting her to take her pills.
But we had a great week. She wanted to actually stay with Aunt Jenn for a week. But my sister said "Um, I think she'd be good with you for two days adn then freak out for me..and also, I don't think you realize what you are getting yourself in to."
I retaliated a little bit, thinking I was completely capable of taking care of her, but then I started to think of how tiring it was even for a few days. i mean, from my appointment last tuesday, we went to charlie browns, and then to van saun park, then to my friend's house to go swimming in a pool, then to barbequeing, then driving home. i was done for the day.
But it was really great to see her and play with her. I also spent time with my family, and that was really nice. i got to see my aunts, uncles, cousins...my sister.
One of the hardest things for me has been playing a special part in my niece's life. Children are very important to me and I have spent 3 of her 5 years, very sick. I woke up the first morning after I was diagnosed in 2003-and said to myself, "i need to do this to watch taylor grow up."
I really want to be active in her life. She has had to deal witha lot of change from my illness and she has been so good.
She is one of the best kids I know.
I need to go get my mail, and do some errand type things.
My mom is leaving this coming weekend. I have another appt. on August 22nd. I am going every other week right now. SO that is good. My platelets are still down, but okay.
I am setting up my flickr account to have more sets of pictures. I will post that link, once I get more up. Also, Alison has a flickr acct. with some pictures on it, and I will post her link, once I get it.
Love
