Hangin' with the twins....



I am sitting here in DC with my twin nieces. They are awesome and very well behaved. They even sleep through the night, sometimes for 12 hours straight with only a break for feedings.

We have a nanny that takes care of the three babies. That includes me!

I am in constant pain now. I am weak and lost even more weight. I am off 50 lbs off my 2007 high of about 200lbs. Now, I have even registered ~150lbs on the scale. I cannot sit up straight because of pain. I spend most of my time horizontal like the girls.

It's odd how I eat my meals. I eat lying down, often on the rug or in bed. I am making do until my chemo Tuesday. Hopefully it will start fixing me.

We have a new massage chair, zero gravity chair and a memory foam bed that adjusts. These are all attempts to make me comfortable and able to function a little better. It is nice to be able to sit reclined, with my laptop and watch TV again. It seems like such a luxury! Looks like I will be spending less time on the floor...
