It has been about 6 months since you have heard from me here. I have hit the ground running to say the least. Work is busy, very busy for me. I have been working 10-12 hours a day 6 days a week. I am pushing myself mentally and physically harder than I have in a long time. Maybe it is so I can forget about the last 6 months of life for a moment.
Once if the most interesting things I have done recently is to work in the community at the Mass Vaccination Clinic. I hope that this is a once in a lifetime experience. I worry the reality is this is just the first. I have always enjoyed volunteering and working in the community around large events that make a difference. I received my first vaccine on December 28th 2020 just after my first Quarterly Oncology Visit. I have never looked back. Getting Vaccinated is a personal decision, all I can do it encourage you to get it. It is science and it works. I had minimal side effects with the first Dose. I did Moderna and had a sore arm. The second dose was not too bad. I got a fever for about 12 hours and it was gone as quick as it came. I wanted to sleep the next day, but I was okay with that.
I have also been doing tax returns on top of all of this. So that has been a regular stressful blast. It is truly and love hate relationship.
April is an important month for Testicular Cancer (TC). It is Awareness Month. So I want to do my part. I am making boxes with T-Shirts, a little update and a bracelet and sending to those who supported me along the way.
I asked everyone to post a add the hashtag #foulball to their post so be sure to look for them. As I find them I will post them here.
Here is a progress photo for your pleasure. Yes I found 20 pounds laying around. And yes my hair is long. It is so so so soft. Baby Soft and it is more gray and I do not want to cut it. I am glad it is back and I know once I cut it that baby soft texture is GONE. So I am holding out. I did get the edges trimmed for a video at work so it has a regular texture now and is curly. So I guess I will have to embrace the curls. But I will NOT embrace this weight and will get on that ASAP.
