Ok - not really working 9 to 5.. more like 8 to 5.
I've been a bad blogger and haven't been keeping up on what's been going on. So a good place to start is the fact that I landed an awesome new job! I'm a Graphic Designer and it's great! I love it! I even have my own office. :0) Best part is that insurance started from DAY ONE and there is no pre-existing clause. Someone is definitely looking out for me.
It was such a weird experience to go back to work full time after not working for six months. Weird. Six months ago, I could hardly walk and was in the hospital. After six months of Physical Therapy and Radiation - here I am. Walking. With my AFOs, but at least I'm walking. I still get really tired and hot from walking but life really is so much easier when you can walk. Makes me that much more thankful for my working legs.
I'm still going to Physical Therapy twice a week and just had my first session in the pool! Man - is that water some resistance. At least it's fun and nice to get in the water during this hot weather. I will say that I'm not very good at swimming without a noodle... stupid ankles/feet aren't quite there yet. :0)
Other bummer news - I have the most heinous heat rash EVER! On both of my legs from my AFOs. (You can actually see the outline of where the braces go.) I guess that's what you get when you wear socks up to your knees and plastic braces wrapped around your legs pretty much everyday. Good thing I have a dermatologist appointment next week. Hope they can give me something to help it.
Good news - had my latest MRI and the tumor is slightly smaller. Woo-hoo! It's not gone - but I'll take it. :0)
