Broken Record

There really isn't anything to report these days.  Which is a good thing:)  I seem to know what to expect from this chemo after 6 weeks.  I hope it stays the same for the next 6 weeks.  As I have said that doesn't mean I don't have some side effects from it but I seem to be able to work through them.  One of the side effects are mouth sores.  Although I think I may have contributed to them by eating the homegrown tomatoes!

I have been pretty much staying inside.  First of all it is very hot in KC and I cannot tolerate the heat.  Second there are a lot of "viruses" that seem to be going around right now.  I have stayed well this long and do not intend to get sick now.  I have not seen my "Petrie dishes" for a few days.  Emerson had his vaccines on Friday and I cannot be around him.  Ethan has been running a fever so that takes care of my visits to my boys.

Tomorrow I have physical torture.  I haven't seen the physical therapist for several weeks so hopefully she won't torture me too much.  I have faithfully done the exercises even on the days I really could have cared less.  Hope it has been enough.

Tuesday I have infusion number 7.  Please say prayers that my counts are up enough to have the treatment.  It is one day short of the week between treatments so I hope my body is ready.  I will see the nurse practitioner before I receive the chemo.  I am so fortunate that the team of doctors are always checking up on me.

I will post on Tuesday as soon as I have the results from my bloodwork.  Hopefully this heat will break and later this week we will have some cooler fall weather.

2 Samuel 22:33

 It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect.

Have a good week!
