Chemo infusion #3 & Waterskiing

June 19, 2018

Not only did I have a wonderful symptom free week my weekend was even better!! I met my beautiful baby boy nephew for the first time Friday night. He smiled at me and was making the cutest faces! What a blessing. Saturday I went to my nieces dance recital and omg was she adorable with her little tutu! We then went to the lake for the rest of the weekend. Flawless!! So beautiful and truly enjoyed every second. Sunday morning we were out on my dads boat and I randomly said out loud  “I’m going water skiing”. Instantly my Dad and Mom got all flustered and was worried about me (so typical) haha! I wasn’t trying to be a hero or prove anything I just wanted to get out there so bad. Water sports has been such a big part of my life and sitting my ass in the boat all summer just wasn’t going to happen. So there I was in the water all ready to go, I told myself “you’ve got this, you will get up, don’t you dare let go of the rope”. And somehow someway I got up on my ski. I was all smiles and won’t ever forget that moment. If you believe in yourself anything is possible. The link below is a video of me waterskiing! Check it out if you want

Hope everyone had a wonderful Father’s Day! Love you Dad and Larry ❤️

Yesterday was my 3rd infusion of the RED DEVIL. Only 1 more to go! Typically your always in a room with one other person. Love talking with other patients and hearing thier stories. So I sat with a patient named Fred… yes FRED lol! He was diagnosed with a very aggressive cancer 10 months ago and was told he had a 20% chance of living. He said he was devastated at first and thought this was it for him until he woke up one morning and told himself, “it’s not going to play out that way, I will survive”. He received PET scan results that day stating he was cancer free. Him and his wife were glowing with happiness that filled the room. They almost had me in tears! Go Fred!! 

Today I am really nauseas and tired. But hanging in there and getting ready for DAY 3 tomorrow. Here we go!!

Pow pow 🤜💥
