12 Things I have learned and confirmed

We had a good week here up on the hill.  Monday we were able to get my chemo plan, we feel good about it and it feels very doable. I start November 5th and will go every three weeks into the new year. Then we will roll into radiation. I am taking life one day at a time right now. I did take a leave of absence from my job as a para educator and hopefully will return next school year.  I already miss those little kids and my daily hugs! Tomorrow I am getting my hair cut short so it isn't so drastic when I lose my hair. And I have no idea if I will be a wig person or not but am working on picking one out. I have a feeling whatever the day brings.

12 things I have learned and confirmed over the past few weeks:

1. I love roller coasters but living on one is hard work!

2.  I got lucky when I married Curt Alpeter 22 years ago

3.  Angels are everywhere

4.  I am more attached to my hair than I realized

5.  Hearing from friends past and present has been grounding and is keeping me focused!

6.  I am competitive and I like to win!

7.  Be real and present

8.  That being said I like a plan and need a goal

9.  Support is everywhere just be open

10.  Say "YES to drugs" Warning: This is for adults only with the consultation with their doctors : )

11.  TV is my friend and Parenthood is our family therapist

12.   I have lots more to learn and confirm

All will be well. The best gift anyone can give me is to take care of yourselves, keep up the prayers and positive energy.

Thank you for your continued support and love!

Love,

Lynn
