Embarking on my 3-day adventure

Well, I am leaving in a couple of days to attend the breast cancer 3-day. I am really looking forward to the whole experience. I couldn't be walking with better friends! I am so lucky to have these girls to train with, and now to walk and camp with! I will be home on Monday, so I will try to post pics and stuff when I return!

As far as my health, I can't complain really. I have been dealing with lymphedema. For those of you that don't know, my lymphatic system isn't working properly and the fluid is draining down my arm and into my hand. It causes swelling and pain. I have been wearing a compression sleeve and glove and that seems to help a lot. The worst part of it is I was bit by a spider on that hand during one of my flare ups. As a result, I got cellulitis (bacterial infection). So, on top of my other meds, I was on a few antibiotics to clear it up. I never knew how painful cellulitis could be! It is a serious thing! Go figure. I always thought cellulitis was a case of too much cellulite! I have had that for years!

I had my herceptin treatment today. I can't believe it, but I only have 3 treatments left. It looks like my last treatment will be on January 20th. I am really looking forward to that day! I am to the point where I don't want to be touched by any one. I just want to be left alone. I think I am ready for a week and a deserted beach with just my husband, a good book and some tequila! What else do you need?

I am going to finish packing and I am going to go to bed at a decent hour! Ta-ta!
