Kickin' It Pink With Kristyn: Jan 2nd

January 2^nd – I’m currently sitting in my chair for my 3^rd round of Taxol. The 2^nd treatment was not as bad as the first. I did have some pain but not like the 1^st treatment. I also took Vicodin and Lortab every 4 hours which might have helped. I’m hoping this 3^rd round is similar, or better, but we’ll just have to wait and see.

I’m starting to get a little nervous about my surgery. Not the surgery itself but the recovery because I think it’s going to hurt! I know I can handle the recovery but that doesn’t mean it won’t hurt. I’m hoping my hair starts to grow back during that time, when I probably won’t be doing a ton of things.

I’m also a little sad that I won’t be seeing my chemo nurses anymore after my last treatment on 1/16. Hopefully that didn’t jinx me, I guess there’s still a chance that more treatments will be necessary. And I will have to come for checkups every 6 months so I can always pop my head in if I miss them too much.

Christmas was good. And Helena ended up getting to be here this week which has been nice. Our house is full but it’s full of love so that makes it feel good to be here. New Year’s Eve was mellow for us. Bobby worked and I went to dinner with some friends and out for a drink after and then home to fall asleep on the couch at 10:30, woke up at 11:30 to move to bed. I missed midnight but I know it happened because I woke up the next morning and it was 2013.

I don’t think 2012 was all that bad. I had to look through my calendars to see what all I did since my memory is kind of nonexistent right now. I found a lot of good things we did! And I’m going to show you with pictures because I think pictures are much more interesting.
