197 Pounds

It seems almost too quick to be finished with my fifth round of chemo; but, I only have one more left: August 2. Wednesday I weighed in at 197 pounds, the most I have ever weighed. I think I am going to focus on putting on that last 3 pounds to hit the 200 mark. The sad thing about that weight gain is that it is in spite of the plethora of dead cancer cells leaving my body and plenty of muscle cells going along with them, leaving behind mostly fat cells and water molecules.

Thursday I coached half of the day, and Friday about 2/3 of the day, including a time where I actually jumped and spiked the ball over the net. It was a girls' net, but I hit it pretty well and landed without pain. We even played "Queen of the Court", and I was proudly a queen for a good chunk of time. Pretty good activity for a day or two out of chemo. I didn't vomit, and we had backed way off of the medications.
