It's Been Over a Year Now...

Ah, yes.  The Grammy's still suck.  

Oh.  

Woops.  Sorry.  Just thinking out loud there for a second.  Back to business.  I think I've finally returned to my normal self for a little while.  My balloon body has since disappeared thanks to the diuretic.  On Friday, I weighed in at the doctor's office at about 182 pounds.  A week earlier, I was pushing 200.  Scary that your body can carry around that much additional water.  I can fit into all my shoes and khaki's again!  Thought I was going to show up in sweats to work at one point.  Which, wouldn't have been an awful, at least for my comfort.  

For the longest time, the appearance of my hands have been affected by the radiation.  They have this red hue to them all the time.  It looks sort of like your hands were outside in the cold for too long.  The redness is finally starting to fade, and my skin color is slowly returning to normal.  

It's been just a little over a year since I was first diagnosed.  Hard to believe that much time has gone by already.  

What?  Now we have dancing washing machines on stage?  Seriously.  The Grammy's have lost it.  I think I'd actually rather be watching the Oscars.  

More later...
