While waiting to hear the date for my surgery, I've been resting at home and enjoying the feeling of being on my way to completely cancer free. 

As scared as I am about the surgery, I'm very much looking forward to it being done. The surgeon has agreed to do a double mastectomy and a plastic surgeon will be doing immediate reconstruction. They both seem very confident and feel everything should go very smoothly. I'm hoping they're right. 

As each day goes by, I'm feeling more like myself. I feel so much better when I wake up. My head is clearer and I don't feel like I've been hit by a truck. This good feeling fools me into thinking I have more energy than I do. It's caught me a couple days when I tried to make it without a rest. Then the feeling of being hit by a truck returns. But as long as I take it easy, I'm feeling quite well. I'm getting to my level 10 classes with a cancer rehab group and really enjoy their company and the giggles we share in between hot flashes and huffing and puffing. I've enjoyed getting out to visit with my friends and my coworkers and have some laughs as well. 

Spring is a good time for renewal and implementing healthy habits. This has become my new focus while enjoying my active boys and playing in every puddle and every dirt pile we see along our bike rides and walks. Every challenge and rough day this winter has been worth it to be able to enjoy these fun spring days with them. So much to be thankful for and so much to look forward to!
