First Post!

So I've decided to start a blog page since it will be easier to write more detailed entries on here. I am completely overwhelmed today as the money I've raised for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society has sky rocketed to $7,548. THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT. It is so incredibly exciting. (http://www.active.com/donate/tntsc/tntscKPerry -that's where you can donate if you like!)

Saturday I walked my 5 miles in about 1 hr and 10 mins. Not too shabby. On Thursday I met with a personal trainer at the gym and did these weird plyometric exercises. I don't think I have ever been so sore in my entire life! I only did one set of each exercise and I'm supposed to do three sets. I woke up Sunday in intense pain and could barely move. Thankfully I'm feeling better today :)

I got a call from the foot dr.'s office today and my orthotics are in! Woohoo. I'll be picking them up tomorrow afternoon and I'm very excited about that. Tomorrow I also have to go to St. Mary's for my pre-op for the port removal surgery I'm having on Friday. I'm hoping it won't be nearly as painful as it was going in! Also, I'm having a plastic surgeon close so I won't have another awful looking scar.

On another side note, my hair is starting to grow back! It feels funny to have such a fuzzy head. I'm glad that it's starting to come back in.

Ok that's all for now. Thanks for checking up on me!

Kim, just read your page. I also read your articles this week. Amazing! How great that you are able to encourage others with your determination! I had lunch with your mom last week with her injured foot! You will need to show her a good time in SC! She likes activity!
