Chemo graduation anniversary!

Tomorrow marks 1 year since my chemo graduation! I just read my post from last year. It almost feels like I'm reading about someone else. It's all so surreal. The biggest thing I remember about my last day was the fact that I had to be quarantined from all of the other patients. My favorite part about chemo was visiting and hanging out with everyone all day. I was always there from morning till late afternoon so it made the day go faster. Being trapped in that room was not fun! I had to be locked up because I had a crazy rash and they thought it was shingles. Turns out it was impetigo.

I've always heard the first year after chemo is the scariest in terms of having a relapse so I have so much to be thankful for today!

Abe had impetigo when we were in college-and Kelsey Anderson did too! At the time, Nancy & I were working in the same place, and must've brought it home to our roommates! Abe had it ALL over his face, and his was SO depressed about it. That was the first time I realized he cared about his looks. HAHAHA. Congrats on the 1 year Anni! We should celebrate! AND what're you doing for your birthday?!

Katie I am so happy for you. One thing that I noticed in all your pictures was that you were smiling. You are a beautiful person. Happy Brithday too-Friday the 13th right?
