Yes, I know I've been very quiet this week post my last chemo treatment. The good news is that I this has probably been the best week ever post chemo treatment...go figure that? That of course doesn't mean that I had no impact so I decided to dig deep and just be "quiet" on the blog front during this week.
Unfortunately it's been a very busy week at work (I worked from home but still working) so it took all the energy I did decide to spend this week between family and work. I've had several people resign from my group this week as well as having it be the mid-year busy time. I know, I know...most of you have said it to me before, you are worried that I get too busy at work especially during such a big week. But this is exactly why I decided to be quiet this week and only do things that were "necessary".
I went to the surgeon yesterday and all thumbs up on the healing side there.
The next several weeks are still putting together a health plan that I will openly share. It's an interesting space where the perception is just because one finishes up with chemo that the treatment is done...well, I thought that too up until Monday! Now it's understanding the impact of the chemo and the battle the body has been under and getting it back up to full strength.
So with that, I'm going to go make my Green Gunk juice (broccoli, kale, cucumber, green capsicum, radishes, and apple...I know it sounds terrible but these are the type of things that I need to include in my diet to get my body back in shape...and it's really not that bad).
To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.
