No Major Updates Today
There were no MDA appointments today so no new medical information, but we had a lot of activity. I hired a green certified cleaning company to clean the condo and today was the "deep clean" day, now they will maintain every 2 weeks. Having someone clean was good for my soul. Jason and the kiddos went for their health assessment at the gym we joined and came back completely wiped from their workout. I stepped down on my steroids today (I finish them Friday) and I was able to eat much more healthily and reasonably.
The gym we joined has a certified cancer program in conjunction with MDA. After I have doc's approval, the trainers at the gym will work with the nutritionist and doctor to design a regimen for me. I'll have 4 trainers working with me 2-3 days per week and I will do my it on my own the other days. My primary goal right now is to focus on nutrition and body to make sure I'm up for the radiation & chemo. So far my body has done an amazing job at recovering from surgery so I have to focus on keeping it as healthy as possible moving forward.

I love love the green cleaning service and the nutritionist and coach! MDA seems over the top incredible - hitting it on all fronts. I am glad you are able to wean of steroids now..my Dad just got off a long round of them (a month?!) and he said he became like something out of of the Shining when he hit the kitchen;0 Thanks for the updates. I am thinking "go kick ass" thoughts from Minnesota.
You know every time I try to skip a workout from this point forward I'm going to picture you and realize I'm a total wussy. Keep on being an incredible badass!!
You go girl!
