What a fun and fantastic trip we had...it felt as if we lived and were actual residents of Florence while we were there. Lots of great food in little cafes tucked away or right out in the midst of Italian life. It didn't matter, it was all great for relaxing, conversing, people-gazing and all that fun stuff. We did side trips to Rome, Venice and Siena, walking until we thought our feet would fall off. It's hard to believe that one week ago today, we were standing in the Vatican.
Now it's back to reality. I'm seeing Chris Brown, the nutritionist, on Saturday morning. I did not stay vegan in Italy, but I'm totally back on track now. I believe she is going to put me on a highly alkaline diet...I've done a little research on that and wow, the acidic list is full of the things I seem to like....oh well....I'll wait to see what she comes up with. I definitely need some direction from someone knowledgeable.
I have had a persistant ache on my right side for the past 2-3 days...I think it's just muscular, from sleeping wrong or something, but it's peculiar how every little thing now becomes a slight concern--before this diagnosis I might not have given it a thought. I really don't like being afraid of the little aches and pains, but my perspective is just different now, not in a good way. There is fear of the unknown, not that any of us has a crystal ball of what the future holds, but with cancer, I do know that the unknown is, most likely, not going to be rosy. I guess I'll take some aspirin for now...
