I look forward to when my body adjusts to the Synthroid so that I can effectively burn calories and have the energy to dispel through exercise again. I had to go three weeks in an energy-deprived body to prepare for my RAI treatment, and now it will take a few weeks for my body to adjust to getting out of its hypo state. I'm not too worried about weight gain. I'm just waiting for the time where I can be running the treadmill again and back to my lifestyle the way it was before the big C. Next Wednesday I hope to receive a clean bill of health. You know I will be posting about it when I do. :) Excited to get there. For now, my body is healing and it is not in a state to deprive it. I am doing light exercise on my recumbent bike which the hubby pulled upstairs to put in my isolation room. I do not have much energy to go around though, so I have to be cautious about overworking myself. I cleaned a bit yesterday after sleeping all night and day because it was after the third day of my isolation, and I needed to remove trash, laundry, bedding, and mop and wipe down surfaces and clean the shower and toilet to remove my radioactive residue while it was at its highest. Now I have four more days and then I will need to do it again. I was beat after one hour. The hubby cannot touch these items though, so it had to be done. I miss my kitties. They are confused as all get out why mommy isn't letting them cuddle with her like usual. I know, babies. I know. I miss you, too. Having them near me helps me heal. Right now it's not safe because their mommy is still sick. They don't understand. They sleep against the door--have been for four days. Heartbreaking and precious.
My senior project is coming along nicely. My time in isolation has been giving me uninterrupted time to work on it. No worry about giving attention to my husband or the kitties. I sleep, play on the computer, read, eat, and work on my project. I've been webcamming with my mom, which is nice. I've been watching the rain out of my big pretty window, and that is my favorite. It's been raining a lot and will continue for days. I'm living hour by hour, day by day, and that is best for right now. I have some light projects to do as I am part of the graphics committee for our senior show in early May, and that has given me a boost. Before I was put on fundraising, and that was not helpful for either party as I don't have the desire nor the ability to do such an activity from where I am. I took it upon myself to switch to where I felt my talents could be utilized, and in regaining that sense of control, I feel more upbeat and positive about my contribution to the graduating class and to myself in general.
Life is good.
