Update

Today is Friday and I can't even tell you how happy I am about that! Some weeks just fly by and others crawl....

I had my blood work taken on Wednesday. Haven't heard anything from Dr. Chen about it, so that's always a good sign. I have by PET scan on Tuesday morning, should be a big day. I will be traveling for work after that and to go to a friends wedding, so I had to move my Doctors appointment from the 8th to the 14th. No big deal, it actually give everyone a little more time to get my results instead of chasing them. Sometimes I can be to on top of things :) As I learn more, I will keep you all posted.

I have a few challenges coming up....first is the Breast Cancer walk. I met a lot of great people during TNT (even thought I didn't have a great experience personally), the people in the program were great. So one of my friends' mom was just diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I decided to join her team. I am walking in honor of her mom and for my Grandmother (Dot), a three time survivor!!

Also, Brent and I are taking on another challenge (I think), the Surf City Half Marathon in February. Mind you, I can't even run a half a mile right now. I can walk and I can walk far, so I figure if I had to, I could walk the entire way. I am doing a 3 mile jog, run route right now. I know I have the mind to do it, just need to get my body ready to do it. My heart still has a long way to go....to give you a reference, I jog about 1/8-1/4th a mile and my heart rate is about 180+. Pretty insane, but that's my reality right now. Brent is very supportive and I make him workout before he "runs" with me. Need to slow him down!!

Here's the most recent picture of Katherine (my niece) playing video games with Jonny...priceless!

That's all for now, more to come next week.
