Vocal rest

It is day 3 since treatment on Friday (I call Sunday Day 3...) and as usual, this is the day that I have a sore throat and what feels like an empty stomach, although today I did have a good appetite. Also, I have some aches from the Neulasta shot given the day after chemotherapy. Today is a day I just stay in bed or on the couch doing mindless activities. I am reading Life of Pi though, which I'm enjoying. (I just started- no spoilers!) Today is also a day I try not to cry because my larynx feels so high and it hurts when I get choked up, because it literally feels like I'm choking!

But I don't have anything to cry about today. I had a great visit today from Christina and I can't say enough how much I love this girl and treasure our (almost 20 year) friendship. Now that she lives far out in PA, I enjoy every minute I get to spend with her!

My sister went back to college today. I start school on Wednesday, but I have the best schedule ever. Two online half-semester courses, one in-person class half-semester course (done in March) and a full semester PIANO course! I'm so excited! Since I will be finished with my required speech courses, I figured why not pick up a piano elective! I've been wanting to play again and now is my chance. 

Oh also this Tuesday, I am interviewing for my "dream" internship to take place in the fall. I'm going to spend a day observing and interview at the end of the day. 

And two more big things... 1. I am halfway through my treatments!!! 2. I still have my hair!! I never imagined I would hang into it for this long. Crossing fingers it will just thin out and I won't need to wear a wig, but if I do, that's okay too. I've got a great one picked out. 

Thanks for reading and have a great week.
