Since my birthday, I have been on this kick to do something nice everyday. Kinda like paying it forward.
Today's DAILY niceness: wrote an email to the restaurant I had lunch at complimenting the workers and great customer service.
After going in to urgent care on Feb 2, 2013 for what I thought was the flu, I was told I might have leukemia and was transported to a hospital in Chicago. I spent almost 5 weeks being treated for APL (Acute promyelocytic Leukemia). Now I'm on the road to recovery. Cancer can come without warning and it stops your life in its tracks.

Remission!
I haven't posted in over a month, sorry about that!
The long and short of it: I am in remission! Yay! I started maintenance therapy, which is a daily pill regimen. I am taking more ATRA (tretinoin), methotrexate, folic acid, and 6-mcr (did I abbreviate that right?) for one year.
I have spent this entire month in physical therapy, because my right hip has had shooting pains on and off since summer. Its so much better from physical therapy. Anyone who tells you physical therapy is a joke didn't take it seriously and doesn't know what they are talking about.
Okay! That's about it. I am hoping to remember to continue on this blog, but I will start integrating other parts of my life, as well. Trying to get to normal is my next adventure or chapter in this book...
