Labor Day weekend

Posted on September 4, 2014 by Miriam Hurdle Leave a comment

This is a late posting of the Labor Day weekend fun that we had. Our neighbor invited us to dip into the pool. I did my exercise by kicking the water and stretching my legs to promote circulation of the fluid from the legs to my heart.

The sun was not too hot, so it was perfect for my skin. For a while after the chemo treatment, I would get heat rash responding to any heat from the sun, or sauna. or steaming room. It has been more than five years after the chemo. I guess most of the toxic in my body was cleaned out, so I am not as sensitive to the heat any more.

My husband did the barbecue and the neighbor joined us for a fun dinner.
