The is the best day 2 of a cycle I’ve had so far. No nausea, just a little tired, the shakiness is barely there, and I’ve continued to urinate all day long! The hot flashes finally stopped during the night. I felt good enough to head to an APL Reunion that has been planned for the past couple months.
We had a key person who sets up these reunions, Lovella, we call her Love. She moved to Denver when APL moved the customer service group to Denver a million years ago. Anytime she was headed back to the Los Angeles area, a reunion of some sort was planned. I finally got Hubby to go to one last year. He actually enjoyed meeting up with old co-workers.
I was hoping I would be well enough to go to the reunion today after all my Infusion dates were changed. I’m so glad I did.
It was so nice to meet up with old co-workers, catch up, and I met Wanda, Love’s sister who has gone through Breast Cancer twice. Two different diagnosis 7 years apart. And yes, that can happen. Dr. Susan Love talks about it in her book.
I got to really catch up with Brenda and Amy. I loved working with both of them.
It was a great day! Thank you APL for introducing me to such fantastic people.
Life is reconnecting
I’m so happy you felt well enough to attend the APL reunion. Reconnecting with old friends and coworkers is important. Just like class reunions and family reunions, it gives you an opportunity to begin to stay in touch with the people with whom you have a bond. Once my class of ‘61 had an email list, I reached out to everyone on it. That was probably 25 or 26 years ago. I’m still in touch fairly regularly with many of them by email, Facebook and/or Linked In. Most are people who were not my close friends during our school years; but the friendships have now been forged through our experiences shared over the years since reconnecting. My life has been enriched by those rekindled friendships. I hope you will have a similar experience with you former work colleagues. Keep connecting with all the means of communication available. LYTTMAB!
