School summary:
The girls are off and running with school. Michaela is in her freshman year of college at the local community college. She will transfer (hopefully) to Texas A&M next year into the Dance Science program in the Kinesiology Department. Her goal is to become a physical therapist specializing in dancers and athletes. Emma is a junior in high school. She is taking a dual credit math class and is doing well. Jordan is a freshman in high school. I don't know how this much time has passed and I only have 2 students left in our homeschool. All told, this is my 16th year of homeschooling.
This was taken in Boston before we headed to the Museum of Fine Arts.
Ballet Summary:
Jordan continues to take classes. The drive isn't too arduous even though I do get tired. The three of them also take private lessons with a former Ballet Magnificat dancer. She was Michaela's leader in her dance in the spring show when she was 4. It's a nice close to the circle and I love it.
Jordan at Boston Ballet Summer Intensive.
Cancer Summary:
I had a followup appointment this week. I have periods where I see my oncologist every 3 weeks. I won't see her again until after my next PET scan which will be sometime next month. My treatment regimen stays the same with Lupron and Faslodex injections, Zometa infusion, and Kisqali orally. For the past six months or so, I've had pain in my heel. I hadn't wanted to deal with it, but I finally asked my oncologist about it and whether she thought it was medication related. She didn't think so. She suggested I get in with a podiatrist so I called and made an appointment with my primary care physician. It turns out I have calcification of my Achilles tendon. It hurts almost all the time when I first stand up and walk. It doesn't always hurt a lot when I am walking but I also think I've compensated without knowing it. I'm on some more meds (yay) to help with pain and discomfort and to decrease the inflammation. I have an appointment with a podiatrist in a week and the doctor put in a referral for physical therapy.
This is one of the best cakes I've ever tasted. It's a gluten free one from a bakery called Flour Bakery in the Boston area.
Final Summary:
It's been an interesting week being off social media. I feel disconnected from all my friends and it's a bit lonely but I've read a lot and am feeling peace. I'm by no means completely at peace, but am getting there. I needed to disconnect. I've prayed quite a bit for y'all. I miss hearing about what's going on in your lives. Drop me a line via Facebook messenger or my email which is [email protected]. My love to y'all. Have a great rest of the weekend.
Loving your updates. The cake is quite distracting though. Love to you all. Glad you found out what was wrong with the got
foot.
