Number 7 well underway!

Yesterday and today I was in for 7th treatment. All went well this week, tomorrow I go in to have pump removed. Feeling great so far, we'll see how the next few days go.

3 weeks off!

It has been really nice to be free of treatments for awhile. Gives a taste of what it will be like when I'm all done. I have been able to do quite a bit around the house and appraisals. I just wouldn't have been able to do during. A busy weekend as well. Good friends Carla and David are coming for lunch and a visit Sunday afternoon. They are camping the Pinery. Alaena, Nader and Noah are coming later Sunday for supper and staying over night. We are having a celebration for Alaena's birthday on Monday. So will have a house full as well. Looking forward to seeing Steph and the boys, although I did run into them on the road yesterday for a brief hello. Lookinh forward to Tuesday and getting back into the clinic. NOT! Oh well got to get it done. Continued prayers are welcome. especially that my blood count improves daily.

Not again!

I posted on Facebook about not getting in again. I will be back on original schedule, just behind a week. Nothing I can do, so they tell me. I eat good, drink lots and been sleeping good, so I don't know what is causing it. So, I might as well enjoy it. Been working on bathroom vanity, want to finish drywalling in bathroom, so I can paint!  Slow go but getting there. Please keep praying, I'm getting discouraged and would like to just stop treatment, but half way through, might as well finish the fight. Talk to you all later!

My turn!

Well, I guess it doesn't matter in the long run what you eat. Went in on Tues, one component of the blood work requires 10.0, I was at 9.9. Needless to say they sent me home. Go in next Monday for treatment. Bummer! On the bright side, it may be a blessing in disguise. I have felt great since Monday. I cut the grass, worked on yard, even sanded the bathroom drywall compound. Put another coat on and will sand it today. So I am able to get lots done, that needs to be done, but just not enough time between treatments. This gives me that time. I gues that's about it for now.

Half way!

Finished # 6 on Thursday. I am sorry I don't write as often as I should. I try to keep busy and sitting at the computer is hard to do, believe it or not. Even sitting watching tv is energy draining. Last Monday before I started # 6 I cleaned out my shed. Put away winter tires, got snow blower moved to back. Brought out weed whippers and chainsaw, put new gas and got them running. All ready for summer. Got my new wood chipper gassed and oiled up. Just got everything ready for the summer. Tried the chipper on Sat, does it ever work nice. Cleaned up quite a few branches and twigs. Have a wheel barrel full of wood chips, maybe for garden or hosta path. Worked for 40 minutes, then laid down for an hour. Wears me out, but recover somewhat. Friday was a lazy day, didn't sleep, but sure was horizontal a lot. Sat I did a little outside, Sunday, got garbage out. Had a town wide garage sale this weekend, we didn't get anything out. Got rid of an old mattress and some drain tile. Mary Beth went to London today, meet Alaena for lunch. It's her birthday today! Hope to get a few things done this week, before I go back on Tuesday, the 10th for more chemo. I have thought so many times of calling it quits, lots of people have and get along just fine, but guess I'll keep going. The biggest thing is making sure my blood count is good for treatment. A couple of guys my age have there at the same time as me, but last week both had too low white blood cells and couldn't take chemo. That delays them a week. I don't want that to happen. Rest and eating good, I think makes the difference. Guess I'll go have a shower, maybe that will give me some energy to get through another day!
