The New Me!!

Don't worry the old is still here. But I am feeling like the me before chemo for the first time in weeks. Feels good. Well yes and no the old me was a hypochondriac, vain, worry some, controlling,,,,OkOk I'm feeling like the new old me, sweet, loving, giving, laughing all the time.
I think its Christmas and the excitement of connecting with old friends, and that actually on face book I'm going to get to wish people merry Christmas know how they're doing. By the way if anyone gets a diamond ring don't tell me. I want one don't know what Franks waiting for. Wow selfish me. He just bought me a four poster bed I've wanted one all my life. But no ring whahhwaa waaaaaaaa waaaaa ring. Its OK our anniversary comes up in February could get i t then. I keep singing to him oh"on the fifth day of Christmas 5 (real loud voice) 5 Golden rings!!!! He doesn't always laugh at this.Well another chemo is around the corner and well all I can say is "Bring it On"!! I survived the first 3 , the nauseousness , dancing on the ceilings from the steroids, 8 pound weight gain which you would think was 100 the way I go on about it to Frank. The heartburn, tiredness oh and lets not forget the hot flashes, llllllllllllllloooove those, followed by mood swings, almost split personality mood swings. The best for last is that all food tastes burnt. We went to Dairy Queen one night (treat for the teenager) and everything that had been fried in the fat that those french fries had been fried in I could taste. Onion rings, chicken all that flavour in 1 oily french fry.
After two weeks of all that 1 week of normalcy and then I get to go again. But I love my life. My friends are fantastic, acquaintances of those friends are supporting my friends. So many help you get through this. Whenever people see me in public they tell me how great I look, this makes me happy. I think its the smile because I'm so happy to see them. Wee had the staff party for Franks company here we had a blast. 3 guys plus Frank brought their guitars we danced, ate , sang. Three non alcoholic beers later I was speaking french.I used to think alcohol gave me the confidence to speak French but the confidence comes from in side , building you're self esteem daily, now I made some mistakes but they understood me.
Before I sign off I want to advise some of you who haven't as yet purchased those 5X times the size mirrors for you makeup. I am now obsessing about the wrinkles on my ears. Don't do it yourselves..
