Status Quo

Things are just staying about the same.  I have had some side effects from this chemo but all in all they are tolerable.  My biggest frustration is that I tire easily.  I do well in the morning but start to slow down as the day progresses.  Oh wait maybe I am blaming that on chemo and it really is just my age :)  Wonder how long I can use chemo as an excuse?

Let me explain how tired I get.  Friday afternoon I spent time with my college friends.  Around 7 o'clock I began to wear out.  I came home laid down in bed to watch the Chiefs game.  I made it to half time and did not see or hear anything else until 11 pm.  I got up, put on the pajamas, brushed my teeth and proceeded to fall back asleep.  Last night I went to my friend's daughter's wedding.  I thoroughly enjoyed the evening (had my first alcohol in 5 months).  We were home a little after 9 and I went straight to bed.  Although Rick will say this is not much different then my routine prior to chemo.

Tomorrow Karlene and the boys are coming over.  Of course my day will fly by.  Then at 9 tomorrow night I begin my weekly regimen all over again.  Just say prayers for me that my counts are good enough for the infusion on Tuesday.

Nothing is planned for this week.  It is suppose to get warmer as the week progresses.  It is August but the cool weather has been nice.

This is my Bible verse for the week:  Psalm 27:1


The LORD is my light and my salvation-- whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life-- of whom shall I be afraid?

Have a great week.  I will post on Tuesday to let you know if I can say " one third of the way done".
