Next phase

I will be starting PT on Thursday. Luckily, one of the therapists recommended to me is in my building, so I don't have to go anywhere except downstairs. I've been trying to do some of the exercises that the nurse gave me after the drain was pulled. Let me tell you, it's a little painful. Ok, it's a lot painful. I'm sure at some point I'll be able to make a "snow angel," but not today!

Also on Thursday, I am meeting with my medical oncologist to discuss the chemo and treatments. I have a whole list of questions for her about this process. I'm not exactly sure when the chemo will start since one of the things I remember from my first meeting with her was that she will have me get a bone scan and CAT scan before starting any treatment.

I am not feeling well today and am really wishing I had stayed home. I'm freezing cold and have been eating saltine crackers which are not really helping. I may go home after a meeting I have this morning. This means taking the bus and probably calling my mom to come pick me up at the Tacoma Dome.

I'm also having weird hormone things going on since my surgery. With the PCOS, I've been basically pre-menopausal for the last 3 years with no real periods, just spotting on an irregular basis. But the day I came home from the hospital, I had started a period that lasted for a week. Another one started on Sunday or Monday. I don't get it.
