How I spent my summer.

The energy drain I experienced last fall and winter culminated with a diagnosis of cancer in late April. This was followed by surgery,daily radiation,weekly chemotherapy and two 3 day hospital stays for radiation implants that were removed on the third day. Plus, all the stuff in the off hours. I lost 14 pounds. I did not lose my hair. I kept up with Saturday KB classes for established students only. I slept and read a lot. Friends brought food and I ate what I could. I could not tolerate uncooked or cooked fruit or vegetables. No nuts,seeds,or fiber. I ate ice cream until it wasn't fun anymore. Eating quickly became a matter of not what is good for you but more what you could tolerate. Calories were calories. Swedish fish,grilled cheese,pro-biotics,pop tarts.
Treatments are over and that is a thrill! I practiced with my KB class last Saturday. I was sore for two days but walked it off taking any of our three dogs for a walk.
The 12kg feels heavy no matter if it is carried,cleaned,racked,pressed or held overhead.
