My lack of blog entree is simply due to the fact that I'm not used to having a blog and so not used to go write things.... Also that not that much have been happening.

Still need some rest, so I'm taking it easy.


I'm doing well enough.  Still doing a bit of exercise every day. It's not very much. I do the 5 poses of yoga I used to do as a warm up (I would do 21 quick reps of each and that would take me about 10 min.) 

The 1st week, I did 5 reps of each poses slowly. Then I would do 2 strength exercises to strengthen the mid section with my exercise ball that was given me by my sports therapist before I got sick (1 for the abs and 1 for the hips and butt). Then I do a yoga breathing exercise.

Yesterday was my 1 week mark, so I did 3 more reps of the 5 first poses.  I didn't have enough energy to add reps to the other exercises, so I didn't.  Then I had some lunch and went to lay down for a while and when I got up, I had a normal level of energy.  Those exercises really help, so I do them, no matter what.  Except on Sunday.

Monday, I did a massage on a friend. She's the lady who rents me my office.  We used to see each other every Monday afternoon. She would give me an hour of electrolysis and I would give her an hour massage.

I was able to give her the massage, but it was harder then it used to be.  I felt fine after that, but tired yesterday morning.  So that's helpful. It helps me to see what I'm able to do and how long it takes me to recuperate. The doctor cleared me to do whatever activity I want to do or to work, so I was not out of line for trying after 1 week of rest.

What it showed me is that I will be able to start with about 1 massage a week for a while.  I will privilege smaller clients (the friend I gave the massage to is quite big and, though I'm able to do it, but it was a lot of energy) This way, I will be able to pay the rent at my office and a bit of fuel for the car... My parents are kind enough not to charge me rent while I am not able to work very much... Very nice of them, but I don't like this situation and hope to be able to pay them soon....






I got a home visit from the CLSC's ergotherapist to see if I needed any extra assistance.  She told me that it should be at least 3 months until I am back in a pretty normal routine, if I have no complications.

So for the rest, I'm home and I lie down a lot so I can replenish my energy as fast as possible.  I also eat iron rich foods at every meal and snack so that my blood counts will improve, as I was still a bit anemic before I left the hospital.

I'm hoping to have good results next week at the doctor's.  I have an appointment with the oncologist who treated me in the hospital and one with the radio oncologist who treated me there also.

Thanks for every one's support!
