The Driveway

This morning was kind of a big deal. It snowed an inch or two, and it was the perfect day to stay in and bake cupcakes (or brew beer, if you're Jarrod.)

So Jarrod made us breakfast and then went downstairs to brew. In the meantime I did my treatment as normal, but I was having a pretty good morning, I wasn't coughing a ton... 

So I had a crazy idea... I decided I was going to try to shovel the snow off the driveway. And I did! I shoveled the driveway! I've never done that since we moved here. I had to take one break, to come inside and sit with my oxygen on for about 5-10 minutes, then I went back out and finished. I was getting pretty worn out during the last half, and audibly reminded myself "You can do this... There's just a little bit left." And then I was done and I came inside to sit with my oxygen hose on again while my heart slowed down and my oxygen sats. came back up. 

I went down to tell Jarrod, since he had no idea, and he was surprised! And very happy for me. I am so damn proud of myself, I can't even tell you. I feel like I've had a slight grin on my face all day. Take that, CF! 

I did that!
