Hello all, I took some time off from blogging while my mom and dad were in town. Cari spent the night X-Mas eve so we all could wake up early for Paige. She surprised us this year and was up before we were. That was a first. Gifts were plentiful and we all had a good time -- I hope all of yours was the same. We ran into some bad luck just after mom and dad left though. Paige, dad, Cari, and I all got a case of the stomach flu and has kept us all down either in bed or near the bathroom. I was going to post Tuesdays weight from the holidays which had gotten to 170 lbs, but was already down to 166 lbs just after one day of being sick. I should say that I will not have to have a colon cleansing any time soon.
I had chemo yesterday instead of today this week. I wanted to be around for the book closing at work. Paige had a chance to go with me because Cheryl had to work and she jumped on it. It was a real commitment for her because I had to get her up at 6:30am to get there on time with the weather and roads. We still were 20 minutes late. She had fun, we took pictures with her Nintendo DS and played with our faces with the decorative modes. She got the layout of the place and soon had mastered where snacks, water, ice and the restrooms were at. The only thing she missed was the care dog that gets to come see everyone. I am not sure if that is a Friday thing only, or if some of the volunteers just didn't come in for the holidays. We had one person "graduate" for cancer treatments while we were there, she was from Wyoming. There seems to be a lot of people from there coming to get cancer. They rent an apartment when they come, I can't imagine what a financial burden they are placed under.
I have two more treatments until my next petscan, the new protocol is 4 treatments now to make sure the medication stays on top of things.
Talk to you all later and have a safe Happy New Years.
Love you all for caring,
Jeff
