Cancer makes me excited for Scrabble and fresh air!

Well, I am feeling really good the past few days!  I have even went grocery shopping and took Deacon (our dog) for a small walk when the weather was nice!  It was amazing!  I hope that the next 4 rounds of chemo allow me to feel this way, because I feel more like the old Ashley.  The next 4 rounds of chemo are an entirely different chemo drug, so I have my next treatment next Monday and this will be the first round of that drug.  I just pray that it doesn't send me back to square one with the nausea and other side effects.  I was planning to go to the gym and utilize the seated bike today, because my feet seem to always hurt, so I thought the bike would put less pressure on my feet.  However, our driveway is a sheet of ice and I am waiting for the ice melt to work.  The good news to this is that I got outside, took out the trash, and scattered ice melt over the drive, even though it was freezing cold the fresh air was good.  So now I sit by the window and play online scrabble and watch for the driveway to de-ice, and the moment it does I am going to try to make it to the gym before the 9-14 inches of snow falls in the next 24 hours!  So that is the current and exciting life of Ashley, lol!
