I had a super weekend in Cincinnati. Carole and I returned to Cedar Rapids Monday morning, so the 5:30 AM wake up call was not a lot of fun, but it was worth it to be able to stay an extra day. I got my 4th birthday dinner (in 4 days) last night, then had friends come over for dessert. I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow last night at 10:00 PM because I didn't get a chance to nap all day, but I wouldn't have changed anything. Now I need to change my focus away from food. I've definitely been eating way too much.
I've continued with the chemo drugs every day, and my radiation treatments resumed yesterday after a three day layoff. They will continue Monday through Friday for another 5-6 weeks. So far, I haven't seen any major side effects from either - no major fatigue and no hair loss (but they tell me that will come), and I feel like I am walking stronger and straighter than I was four weeks ago. I keep telling Carole to give me the car keys, but she keeps telling me I don't need to drive. It's kind of like the opposite of Driving Miss Daisy.
Thanks again for all your thoughts, prayers, gifts, emails, calls and concerns. I know I've said it before, but your support has been overwhelming.
Thanks!
