Still • I • Rise

Happy Monday!!

One of my favorite go-to salads ~

Cucumber, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese & Olive Garden dressing!! Sometimes I add pasta noodles!

YUM!!

Had Labs & Scans done in September and all is looking good!

In honor of Halloween month --> William & "Steve" 🎃

Today is my first day of PT for my L shoulder! I'm ready! Surgery went well but it still aches from time to time.

Then football 🏈 this weekend and celebrating William's FIFTH birthday with family! 🎉 How do I have a 5 year old already?! 😭

I also plan on meal prepping a bit today!

But hopefully I'll be able to catch up on some much needed sleep at some point because I didn't sleep well at all last night! 💤

Happy Friday to you all and I hope you have a great weekend!! ❤

Shoulder surgery is coming up quick ((6 days))!

Lots of other appts recently too..

Blood draw
Port flushing
Telehealth calls & messages
GI appt now scheduled to see if I have an ulcer

Neverending!!

But it is what it is!!

This isn't always an easy thing to do! But we sure can try!! ❤❤❤

Update:

I had my regular labs & scans @ UNMC yesterday.. everything is good in terms of my cancer! So I will return in 6 months for L&S w/ port flushings here in Lincoln every 6 weeks.

However, I need to:

☆ Increase my water intake
☆ Increase my sodium intake
☆ I have a kidney stone
☆ And I'm showing beginning stages of AVN in my hips =
no weight bearing (only bike, walking and water)

**If the AVN progresses in my hips like it has in my shoulders I'll most likely be getting more surgeries 🙄

Physical Therapy assessment today.. wonder if I'll keep going or if it'll be my last session until surgery number 2?!
