Things are much better these days. I’m still fighting cancer but it’s been an easy fight as far as cancer goes. It’s been a little over a year since my surgery but it feels like it was yesterday.
The weight gain has been the hardest part. Luckily with thyroid cancer chemo is ineffective so the only real icky part has been weight gain. I weigh 230lbs. I gained 60lbs since I had the baby. It’s ridiculous. I can’t even wear my maternity clothes I’m so huge. Shopping when you’re 230, 5‘9 is just fucking impossible.
I start school again at the end of the month. I have an associate degree and now I’m going for my BA. I’m taking a full class load so I’m going to have my hands full.
My son is 17 months old. He’s bit of a late bloomer. He was slow to crawl and just now started walking but he’s wicked smart and cute as hell. He has gorgeous strawberry blonde hair and pale skin and ugh I could just eat him up. He’s a happy kid. He’s always smiling and he plays pretend by himself all the time. I do laundry or read and he just plays with his toys and occasionally comes over to give me a kiss.
Bryan and I are really wonderful. He’s working with me at the restaurant making a little more money than he was. He’s driving now and has been working on his art like a fiend. I’m very impressed by him in many ways. He’s such a good father. He changes poopie diapers without complaint, rocks him to sleep, reads to him. I know so many shit dads and dads who are there but just suck but Bryan is the cats meow. We got married on April 20th after the baby was born so we’ve been married almost a year and a half. We’ve had lots of crazy sex and of course the whole cancer thing just makes us hold each other closer. My favorite is when he kisses my forehead and tells me I’m his best friend. Sometimes that’s the most important part of marriage; being best friends.
I felt I should update but I can’t think of anything else to share at the moment. Pictures next time.
