Starting to plan Jason's bar mitzvah! This morning I put on my favorite jeans, another first, and went to the synagogue for the party fair. The jeans are big on me. I have lost 10 pounds since the night before the surgery, and I can't imagine my old breasts weighed more than a couple of those pounds. So I'm too skinny, and I'm trying to figure out what to do about it. Thanks, MJ, for bringing me cookies and chocolate just at the exact right time! Anyway, the party fair was productive, and I walked around there the whole time. Felt like crap at the end, though, so I used a scooter at ShopRite. I think I'll miss using the scooter, but I love having my body (especially lungs) in working order again.
Yesterday I walked around the block. Once with Ken and the dogs, and once with my friend Bonnie, who came down from New York during tax season (she's an accountant) to see me. So yes, that's TWICE around the block!

This is what it looks like when you get chemo. Exciting stuff.

Hi Michelle. It was great to see you yesterday. Please, enjoy the chocolate and cookies. I love them myself but I really don't need them :) Eat some for me too. You look great and walking will get easier every day.
You must be getting the strangest looks while using the scooter. People using those are usually 25 years older and 150 pounds heavier!
Do you get scooter rage?
