...All the underdogs won today in football....we are still moaning the loss by Seattle though...and the Trailblazers lost in double overtime in basketball in Toronto....
Linda is feeling a bit better today...which is a great sign that she is moving up from the neutropenia....my hope is that in a couple of days she will be back on top for the last week of this third cycle....her blood pressures haven't been too bad either.
This week will be a busy week with our first meeting in support groups..we have dinner and then split into discussions among caregivers and discussions among cancer patients. We also are doing more Reiki this week as well as my therapy sessions...and then Friday it will be another session on breathing and stress reduction for both of us.
My blood pressure seemed pretty high today...and accelerated when I became active in any way. I have a meeting with my primary Doctor on Wednesday and hope to get some things squared away. Today I laid down and listened to some affirmations and imagery...and woke up two hours later...even Linda had to come up and see if I was alright..what a role reversal. She is so caring. My intention for yesterday was to let go of doubt (actually self doubt holding me back) and creating peace for my self today. Today I didn't really come up with anything (is there such a thing as off on Sundays...I guess not)...today was a day of creating "quietness" for myself...it was letting go of "having to do something"...I think Linda adopted the same idea....she's been pretty quiet today.....napping...reading...napping...
We look forward to a better week and some of the planned activities lined up for us....we feel at the end of the week we will be so much wiser and healthier.
