Well, I had chemo today and the doctor took me off the Taxol, so I was there for less time.  Some of the other benefits to not having Taxol is that I only have chemo twice a month instead of three times (none next week), which also means I don't have to have my blood drawn on the weeks I don't have chemo--YEA--and maybe my hair will start growing in and my neuropathy will go away.  I developed an infection under one of my fingernails this week (and infections are serious when you're undergoing chemo), so I am taking antibiotics to try to get rid of that.

I got fitted for my leg brace last Friday but it's not ready yet.  When I do get it, I'm going to have to wear tennis shoes with it, even with my work clothes--what a fashion statement!  I am still going to physical therapy and hope to be walking on my own by the end of January.

Kelsey planned a "bake day" for all the ladies in our family last Sat. so with all those hands, I got a lot of baked goods but didn't have to do all the work--it was a lot of fun!

I hope you're all enjoying this joyous season as much as I am.  I wish you peace and God's blessings!!!
