Not much has been going on since my last treatment of Hyper Cvad. Well nothing medical.
I started maintenance and everything seems to be ok. Though I do still feel tired at times, but not the extent of what it once was. ( Go Hemoglobin!)
Other than the fatigue and my liver enzymes being slightly elevated from the oral chemo, (which I was told to stop for a few days to see if they level out or if they need to adjust the dosage.) I’ve been doing pretty good.
Actually really pretty good.
As per previous bitch and whine fests, I am still “cleaning up” cancer’s shit fest, and expect I will be cleaning up for some time.
As fleeting as it is, time is all I have these days.
I’ve been trying to incorporate some work out activity, but I’ve noticed that my legs feel stiffer when I move. I walk with the gait of a 80 year old who has just had a hip replacement. The backs of my ankles just feel tight and strained and unwilling to bend to the fluidity that is needed to put one foot in front of the other and walk. It’s as if all of a sudden I am living out my nightmares of not being able to move. More specifically, to walk. Those dreams of feeling like my feet are cemented to the ground and it takes every ounce of will to lift them. However, in real life I push those damn legs to do what they were evolved to do. Move.
Because of the intensity and severity of the chemo, lack of bone density and osteoporosis has began to show in my femurs. A regiment of Vitamin D has been added to my cache of pills I have to take on the daily.
I have been trying to incorporate more physical activities to my day. Working out specifically or walking, though the dedication and discipline of the work outs are not sticking. Some days I’m on it….other days I’m just too tired and would much rather lay on the couch reading and eating a box of Milk Duds.
And Milk Duds aren’t doing anything for my ass and thighs.
I’ve been hooping here and there, but nothing of great extent. My body still feels heavy when I try to perform certain moves. My legs especially.
Even though I have grown quite distasteful towards my physical appearance, I have decided to join in my troupe’s upcoming burlesque show. I won’t be doing a hooping number, as I am no where up to par with my hoop abilities, so I will be doing a traditional bumps and grinds number. I’m actually quite excited about the idea of the number, so I hope I can execute it in a fun, silly and flirty way.
Now if I could just get excited about my stomach, butt & thigh ripples, that would be even awesomer.
