Up up up.

Every morning I have a routine as I wake up and get ready for my day.  One of those steps is to step on the scale.  Over the past 5 treatment weeks that number has read 145 ish.  Not today.  That number read 150 instead.  I know normally people aren't usually excited about weight gain but after losing 15 lbs I am elated about the 5 pound gain. I hope to put on a few more before surgery

I told many people in the last week it would be good to live like a normal Human for a few weeks.  I plan to continue to do that as much as possible but occasionally I will have something a Cancer patient has on their schedule.  Tomorrow is my Pre Operation appointment.  Normally my Primary Care Physician would perform this but his schedule is full until after surgery is schedule so I get the PA to do what is needed.  Just wait the BP will be high again due to the white coat and yet another new person I'm seeing.  She will likely criticize me for the high BP even though it is normally not. 

One other thing not normal occurred tonight.  During dinner we were presented with bread.  It looked so good the I ignored my gluten free diet for just a minute and caved in to the temptation of 1 small slice of bread.  It is the first bit of gluten I have had in 4 + months.  Of course I was careful not to have enough to do anything serious.    After no real bread for 4 months it didn't even taste like I thought it would.  Oh well back to my gluten free diet.
