I joined the Well Fit Program that is offered to cancer patients for free membership for 8 weeks! It is held at the Avila Bay Athletic Club and it is very nice. Every time I go, someone wants to meet you and talk. I am going to try to take advantage of the classes and equipment while I can. I am going to try to do a class tomorrow if I get up early enough. Or I could take a later class too, or do the machines.

I would really like to do the aqua aerobic. Very low impact, which would be a good start for me. I did go to the stretch class yesterday and the Well Fit program is every Monday and Wednesday. I am making new friends in the group. It is amazing how many people have cancer and so many different kinds. We are all fighting for better health.

This will be a season of trying to get stronger again. I was really tired even with the little I did in the class. It is a beginning at least.

Tonight on Thursday, I met with my support group friends at the airport restaurant and a new gal joined us. We help each other and tell one another our stories. We try to include information that will help the new person on this difficult journey. Then afterwards we went to our support group and yet another new person in the group joined us. Every time I go to the support group, there are new people coming. Different kinds of cancers, but still there are new diagnoses every month. Sort of overwhelming when you think about it. I don’t know how anyone goes through this with the support of God or the support of other people. This is an event that no one should go through alone. No matter how strong a person you are. It is too daunting.

Anyway, it was a busy week with pet clients and getting the gym into my schedule and such. I did lose a pet client this last weekend. Rather sad. The owners had to put Maggie down because she was paralyzed and stopped eating. It is always difficult losing a pet. I grieved over her as well. She was a part of our lives too in a manner of speaking.
