Wonder Woman🎵
I have a friend who checks in on me every morning before Chemo, and he tells me to be strong. And today, I am sitting in Chemo feeling strong. Wonder Woman strong. Being at Chemo always makes me feel strong, like I am doing something to fight this cancer. I have to put more effort into feeling strong on Sundays and Mondays when I am getting beaten down. But I will always get up again. The first Halloween costume I remember picking out was Wonder Woman when I was five years old, and I was so upset when I had to wear my winter jacket over it and cover it up to go trick-or-treating because it was snowing. And I was so proud of my Wonder Woman underoos when I was young (NOT posting the picture I have of me fighting evil in them!). And now that I am older and have inherited the gambling gene from my grandmother and her mother before that, my favorite slot machine is Wonder Woman. I played on Wonder Woman during a trip to the casino with my grandma and Aunt Kathy, so my grandma gave me a Wonder Woman sports bra for Christmas!! My family took an all-girls trip to Las Vegas when I was in college because that is what my great grandmother wanted to do for her birthday! But I digress — got too excited talking about slots! Anyway, Wonder Woman has always been my favorite super hero, and this picture reminds me to be strong like her. I am just hanging out getting Chemo for the next two weeks, and then I will meet with my doctor again in two weeks. We will probably talk about setting up my next scan sometime in the next month. Today, I am sitting at Chemo kind of sad that I am just getting the drug that only takes 1/2 hour to run. I like my every other chemo where I can sit and refuel for an hour and a half with my feet up, a heated blanket on, just relaxing and letting the Chemo do its magic. Will try to stay strong on Sunday and Monday, but I will rise again for Chemo and to blog again next Friday.
