Living

Yesterday, I saw both my oncologist and acupuncturist and they both welcomed me back to the land of the living.  I have a sick liver that is now functioning, compared to a sick liver that was not functioning at all.  It was all a very happy medical day.
I have been being a vegan, but been told I can eat white, not fatty fish.  So I am hoping to start doing so soon as well as bringing healthy oils back into my diet. Luckily, I am married to mr. healthy oils guy. So we have great options in the house.  Today, I also managed to go out and have lunch with a friend at a cafe.  I managed.  I did have a choking session due to my darned vocal cords not closing and getting some water in my lungs, but when I got home, I was not complete toast.  Out all day... from 9am to about 2:30!  Very exciting.  
We are planning our trip to Puerto Rico with the Dales East and are very excited about it.  Looks like I am no longer on the fast track out of here.  Someone mentioned that I have nine lives, I have to count to see how much I have left.  As it stands, right now I feel like any time I have is all bonus.  This week, I have chemo on Wed and my dad is coming to visit on Thurs through Sun.  We then leave on next Thurs.  Luckily, we have a great house and chicken sitter lined up.
