Adventure of Awesomeness: January 2015
http://adventureofawesome1.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 29, 2015. Today I am thankful for forks. All growing up, whenever my mother needed to get something untied she would ask us to, "get the pickle fork." A small, sharp fork used many times to save the day. I, however, never needed the fork. I had very strong fingernails that tackled shoelaces, string, and even opened boxes and ripped tape. My toenails have recently joined the fray of splitting, and stubbed toes have turned into split open skin with major bruises. Awesome! The best part of...

Adventure of Awesomeness: May 2014
http://adventureofawesome1.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 29, 2014. My doctor told me that, "people who exercise tend to do better.". I once was really consistent at exercising.then I had kids. I was consistent again when first diagnosed with cancer, and then the kids were still there, and we moved, and my legs hurt, bla, bla, bla. To support my daughters, who are taking karate classes, I attended their free Mother's Day "bring your mom and do karate with her" night. It was very fun. The catch? So naturally I sign up. Well, it does. I don't really...

Adventure of Awesomeness: August 2015
http://adventureofawesome1.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 28, 2015. Things I Needed to Know that No One Told Me. Things no one told me about radiation, but that I needed to know anyway:. 2 Radiation destroys cells (this I also knew). I have felt very tired, and was especially short tempered the first week or so of radiation. I tended to notice it in my interactions with my children. Realizing this was not okay, I had an insight the other day. I was hungry. Very. Saturday, August 8, 2015. The Big To-Do about Radiation. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Adventure of Awesomeness: Post Surgery
http://adventureofawesome1.blogspot.com/2015/07/post-surgery.html
Thursday, July 2, 2015. 1 I had my neck measured. Never had that done before. I was measured for the breathing tube. 2 I had a breathing tube put down my throat after I was asleep, and taken out prior to waking up, so I never felt it. 3 I have a drain sticking out of the side of my chest. The drain catches fluid from the surgical site. 6 I got to wear ted hose. They were put onto my legs by first putting a small plastic bag over my feet to help them go on. Genious! How do I feel after getting it removed?

Adventure of Awesomeness: October 2014
http://adventureofawesome1.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 25, 2014. The Eye Has It. I drove today thinking I am grateful for the abdominal pain I was feeling. Grateful because it helped me to know that the antibiotic I am taking is working, grateful because I normally don't experience pain and was reminded of that, and grateful that I could still drive. That's a awesome story! I still made it to help at the Book Fair at the school; however, some things are just important that way! Tuesday, eye still sore and red. Make a call to my friendly onc...

Adventure of Awesomeness: June 2014
http://adventureofawesome1.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 25, 2014. I had a great experience today. I got a root canal extracted! I got this gem when I was seventeen. I had an infection in a tooth and my dentist said to me, "we've got to clean this out." Twenty minutes later he is telling me about my root canal. I am thinking, "What? I had a root canal done? That would have been nice to know before the fact.". I recently learned that root canals regularly turn toxic, harbor bacteria, and can even be linked to cancer. Crazy right? I had a scan se...

Friday, July 24, 2015. I think I can drive up to the Huntsman Cancer Institute with my eyes closed (don't worry, I won't). My latest visit was very informative and adventurous! After meeting with my radiation oncologist (cool title! I got a new drain put in. The best part about this new drain adventure is that the first drain she put in did not work well, so she put in another one. Second time's the charm! Perhaps I'll get this new drain out next week, but we are being very conservative this time. Lookin...

Adventure of Awesomeness: November 2014
http://adventureofawesome1.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 15, 2014. Blessings of the Smoke Alarm. I get to be one of the very few individuals who experiences leg pain as a side effect of a drug called Herceptin. That is why I stopped taking it several months back. The drug I am currently on is a mix of Herceptin and chemotherapy. I kept thinking, "I'm going to be positive and look at what I can learn from this. Hmm, nothing comes to mind, but I'm sure there is a reason this is happening.". Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). An Adventure A Day. Bless...

Saturday, July 5, 2014. I read recently that doing this little thing called, "oil pulling" can be beneficial. Basically you put a teaspoon of oil in your mouth and swish it around for ten minutes (some people say 15 to 20 minutes). I usually only last about 3 to 5, but even doing that much I have seen benefit. What oil to use? Here's a link for more info:. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
