Super Froggy--Cancer part 2-update: finally port-free

Freda Kahlo is not my look.

<googles>

thanks for making me learn something today!

In spit of your best efforts

Well, my eyebrows were looking very sparse.
Luckily, I found my light colored brow pencil.
Nice paint job, if I say so myself.
Probably my best feature, so glad to get reinforcements.
I remember having to pluck like heck to split the unibrow.
Freda Kahlo is not my look.

Frida Kahlo is quite the interesting person. Did a report on her for one of my college classes many years ago. Salma Hayek did a decent job with the movie but I was disappointed that the movie was so much about her husband. She was so much more than that.

. . . her husband. She was so much more than that.

It happens much too often.
One is indeed fortunate to find a supportive mate.

Tomorrow is my seventh infusion. Earlier this week, I had another
pulmonary function test, and today another heart echo.
They sent a new rx over to tbe pharmacy for a drug to slow my too-fast heartbeat.
I plan to ask if I can get aquatherapy in a warm pool, to get back into better condition.
I really benefited from it early in 2020--but that came to a screeching halt,
because of Covid.

[chunkyfrog]

Chemo was today.
They had to skip the bleomycin because the pulmonary function test--
from TUESDAY--STILL had not been read by my pulmonologist.
I shall call the office Monday, to inquire if there is any good reason why they
couldn't even "phone it in".
[[[Maybe they need to see me again.]]]
Or I can make somebody feel guilty . . .

good grief! cancer fighting ain't easy, is it?

this last spring, ymca opened up and they seem to be staying open so far. fingers crossed. i like them because they have a pool area with a "river walk". has been a boon for me as it helps me to get rid of some unwanted "covid weight".

wish they did water aerobics, though.

Only one heated pool here that I can get to with Medicare.
The rest are private club$$$, AFAIK.
The hospital center is currently doing aquatherapy--now to put a bug in the right ear . . .
I was getting therapy there for my back when Covid shut it down.
Should not be too hard to get me back into warm aqua.

good. a nicely heated pool can do wonders!

It's the right (cold) time of the year to get my wet on.

Yesterday the nurse called me to say aquatherapy is ON.
Before I could make an appointment, I needed to
FIND MY SWIMSUIT!!!!!
Finally, after turning a closet inside out, I FOUND it!
Poor thing lay forgotten for nearly 2 years. (I'm a tad slimmer now--thanks, chemo.)
Too late to call the therapy center, I decided to wait until this morning.
They called ME. I go in for the evaluation visit tomorrow.
Happy, happy, happy.

Huzzah!

Speedos can be hard to find.

Tuesday is my first session in the pool.
I need to check the fit--I lost a few lbs so far during chemo.
Not much, but enough I need to check.
