.....with promises that the Sun will come out tomorrow.....supposed to be the best day of the week.....and that's a good thing....cause Card Club is coming to the cabin. So say some prayers the weatherman doesn't change his tune!
Yesterday went very well. I went over and saw Dr. Londer (1st time since he ordered the chemo to start, as he was on vacation inbetween) and I specifically asked how long I could expect to go through this chemo regiment. He said the letter from Mayo says to use this radical regiment for about 2 months and then to do a CTscan......so that sounds to me like 4 (2 week rounds) and then the scan and if it's clear....and those two small spots are gone....we'll just watch me....which is scans every 3 months. Now I hope this is not just a pipe dream.....but it is what the doctor at Mayo said too! So my July looks good. and I'm already into the 2nd round....almost half done.
Jimbo came in with lunch about 11 a.m. or so, and all the nurses salivated over our salads....I think they sent someone out to get them some too! After lunch Jimbo and I settled into a game of Gin....didn't have a cribbage board....and he was also mercyless. I did have several Gin's but he always managed to get more points then me. But it did keep me entertained, and we did get a lot of conversation in about the cabin....and the fun they had last weekend. I hear they even got some work done...like fixing the leaky facett (luckily Sulivan is a plumber) and Rob Aase brought a better saw blade and they were able to cut up those two downed trees....now we have one more left in the driveway that I just gave them permission to take down too.
Last night was not a good sleep night for me....between the restless leg, night sweats and just plain insomnia, I got up at 2:30 and took a second Ativan and then played Spades on the computer for an hour before going back to bed. I finally fell asleep around 4 a.m. and was awake again at 8 am.
Even so....I'm feeling great today. They changed some of my medications that they give me IV added a 5-day version of Zofran (anti nausea) and took away the Benedril and then added an antibiotic for help with the funny rash I have which has spread onto my scalp....at least you can't see it there like the point of my nose...but it itches.
Today I have an appointment to have my teeth cleaned and then this afternoon we will be celebrating Rosie Mortenson, Jim Nieswaag and Tom Lux's birthdays. This is a long standing party and we meet at the Green Mill at Riverdale this year....if you'd like to join us....it's open to the public.
Got an email from Carol Kline yesterday, and she if doing better....not great but better. Please continue your prayers for both of us! Also friend Twylla Parther and her husband Paul totaled their Expedition on Saturday and she is now feeling the after effects and they are going to do tests tomorrow to see just how much damage was done to her neck and back....so prayers for them too. Love and prayers, m
