6.7.23

Monday I received the call about my CT scan. Everything looked good! They are booking into August now so my surgery won’t be scheduled until at least then! 🙂 It’s also been 6 days since my Lupron shot. So far I haven’t noticed anything different! Not sure if that’s because it take a few doses to accumulate like the chemo did or if it just takes a couple weeks for my body to notice the changes. I guess time will tell. 🤪

Evalyn had another follow-up on her fingers Friday. Everything looked good and there was signs of new bone growth so that was good. She no longer has to wear her hand splint. YAY! We go back in 3 weeks for another round of x-rays. Hopefully we’ll get the green light for no more buddy tape and she’s good to go. 🙂

Here’s a little humor for you! I was all set to get a little video or a picture of me getting my first Lupron shot. Then I found out where I get the shot… haha! Plan B: take a picture of the shot instead. It’s a pretty hefty needle so getting it in the arm is not advised… As she was warning me about all of this, all I could picture was the scenes from the war movies where the nurse jabs the shot into the soldiers backends and they all jump in pain. I’m thinking oh no this is going to be awful and I have to do this every month! 🥴 She assured me the women handle it better than the men. 🤣 She said the men are big babies. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I barely felt the poke (wahoo). However, later in the day I could feel it- it felt like I had a nice bruise. 😬 Thankfully that only lasted the day!

The paper I got with the list of side effect from the Lupron shot… 😬 I know they are fairly common to what women go through during menopause. It just really stinks that it’s getting forced on me now verses my body getting to go through it naturally.

Tuesday (6/6/23) marked 10 weeks since my last chemo!! My hair is coming in fast!! And it is so soft!! Looking at it you expect it to feel like a buzz cut. Nope! It feels like a fluffy, little bunny. 🤣❤️ Easton and Colton will ask to rub my fuzz and then laugh and make a face saying something like oh that feels weird or it’s so soft!!

Look at it!!! 😀❤️

My eyebrows are filling in nicely too! They are about half way in.. I think there is hair across my whole eyebrow, but the outside edges are just really light. If I want them to look full I still need to fill them in. But hey, I’ll take it! Hopefully by the end of the summer they will be back to normal! 🙂

Saturday I had the opportunity to take some pictures for a wonderful family. It was my first real session back after all my cancer treatments. What a blessing it was to photograph them. When you think of it keep their family in prayer too as Bev is in the middle of her cancer journey and will be starting Taxol soon. ❤️

One more kiddo has officially started their summer break!! ☀️🍦⛱️ I have one scraggler left. ONE. She needs to be done by the end of the month or she doesn’t get to go swimming at the waterpark when we go for Kaden’s state trap shoot! So you can pray that she will stay motivated and finish her work!!

The last time I had my nails done was 6 years ago when Aaron and I went to Hawaii for our 10 year anniversary! What a treat it was to meet up with a dear friend, enjoy some coffee, and get a little pampered.
