We moved out of our home while it was being remodeled. Over the last couple months, I have survived pneumonia and the flu (last February). Yuck! I am now getting more exercise, which is a good thing. But I still feel weak from these sicknesses, the radiation, and the chemo. What is more the steroids have atrophied my long muscles which makes it difficult to get out of a chair. Nevertheless, I'm am now losing weight that I am no longer on the steroids, and waking more. Yeah! My right knee is now mostly rehabilitated. So I'm waking more which is a
good thing. Starting to walk long distances in preparation for my
first half marathon, Run Like a Diva. Christine Ibanez makes it so
easy! So I did a 10K (6.2 miles) this month and another 10 mile hike.
My physical, speech and occupational therapy are now done. Turns out that the fix for my rolling the mouse off the keyboard shelf was layered velcro attached to the right side of the shelf. Works great! Also, my right pinky can't feel when I type, so I a little bit of velcro on the "P" and the "M" keys. This doesn't work as well, because I'm not a touch typist anymore and when I look at the keys, I ignore the velcro and press the key next to it. Harumph!

At this point, my "comb over" was pretty much gone, so I shaved my head. It will grow back, but it looked horrible! I don't look good bald. I bought a very stylish wig. Then my hubby decided to buy me another wig for my birthday, despite my telling him that one wig was plenty and please don't. But he did it anyway, and when I put the wig on, it looks like I have an afro. What was he thinking? I must confess that I wasn't very grateful, and one of my priests joked that I should wear it for a week as penance. That left me speechless until I heard the giggling from beyond the screen! Very funny!

This month I had another MRI - all clear. It's too soon for "Spot" to recur anyway.
On Friday, February 21st, we went to the annual Revs vs. Sems basketball game. So much fun to see the priests playing the seminarians. Usually the priests win, but for the last two years the seminarians have really stepped up their game and have won. Well, they are younger and there are more of them! I looked very stylish in MY wig!
My husband's relatives came out from Massachusetts for a visit. That was fun! We went to a nice restaurant in Willow Glen and had a good visit. It turns out that they will also be going to the Holy Land just after us. This was the primary thing on my bucket list: to walk where Jesus walked and to see what he saw. So we signed up for a pilgrimage which will start next month.
