Where did Friday go? Finished up Round 5 by dropping off my 'buddy' back at the clinic. So long for 10 days. The day turned lousy about noon on Friday. Usually it gets bad on Saturday, but this round it hit early. Friday morning, I was done. I was ready to go into the clinic, turn in the infusion pump and call it quits. Done. Each Round doesn't end each Friday when you disconnect. The side effects linger into the next Round and the next. I am pretty sure it will be with me once I finish the treatments in August. Once you have gone through this you are never the same. You may be cancer free at the end, but you will forever be on guard. Probably the most insidious part of cancer, it may never recur, but mentally you are always on the edge.
Saturday - 9:00 am Family (sans Dad) headed off to Dallas to go to Deanna's baby shower. I wanted to go, but 3 1/2 hours in a car was not very inviting. So, I stayed behind to tend to the livestock at home. Its quiet, and I don't really have to do anything if I don't want to, right? As the day passes, I am feeling (physically) better.
5:00 pm Hmmm...ready for another nap. Thought about washing the cars....nah....I have a son living back at home that can do that...maybe.
8:45 pm Its been a long day....just ate a light dinner...time to feed the critters and head to bed. I'll try to teach tomorrow at church...we'll see. Good night.
