Powerback! 💪

Image
After almost 3.5 years since my diagnosis, I’ll be returning to the work that I love. I’ll be starting a job this week with a company called “Powerback” where I’ll be doing home care visits providing physical therapy… ironic name considering the past several years of battling cancer.  😅   I’m excited and grateful for not only this particular opportunity but just the privilege of being able to return to work as a PT, as there were many times when I questioned whether I’d be able to have the strength and endurance to do this again. So, my excitement is tempered by a sense of nervousness as I consider what I’ve been through and it’s just been such a long time! But I feel ready and take this next step of reintegration back to life in faith, knowing that God must have a plan for me.  The initial thought of potentially doing home care PT crossed my mind while I was receiving home care nursing visits myself. I got to know many of my awesome nurses quite well and so appreciated ...

Ringing the bell! 🔔

Image
I haven’t written a blog post for a while so wanted to share some exciting updates. A couple weeks ago, our family celebrated a greatly anticipated milestone called a bell-ringing ceremony which marked my dear niece Tabitha’s completion of treatment for her leukemia! It was a long two year battle which often felt like a bad dream. Tabby is a true fighter and couldn’t be more proud of her as well as her family.  💪 During the ceremony, her doctor shared a heartwarming tribute to Tabby’s courage and perseverance. And after Tabby rang the bell to the roar of cheers from our family and the staff, there was an image that will forever be etched in my memory… that is of Tabby and my brother Dan embracing each other in tears as the flood of emotions overwhelmed them. I started getting teary-eyed even as we just drove to the hospital that day, so I can only imagine how it must have felt to stand there ringing the bell in the place where they had endured so many difficult days and nights, fi...

Two steps forward, one step back

Image
At my follow-up appt last week, my transplant doc expressed concern with the Delta variant surging as well as RSV and other stuff going around. Because I’m still unvaccinated and my blood counts have gone down more, she recommended that I avoid gatherings (especially indoors) until things improve. This has been hard to swallow as I was just enjoying getting back to things recently such as going to my church and seeing friends and family these past few months. Grace pointed out that when setbacks like these occur which affect us all, it seems to be tenfold for our family.  With that said, my doc advised me to go ahead and get the Covid vaccine especially as kids prepare to return back to school soon. So I’m scheduled for my first dose next week. Thankfully my immune panel result from last week came back higher, so we’re hopeful that the vaccine will work in my body despite still being on steroids. Please pray that the vaccine would be effective and that adverse side-effects would be...
