Round Three
Wow, it’s been a long time since I updated my blog!
So, I’m sleeping well, my appetite has almost returned to normal and I’m starting to get a little energy back. Must mean it’s time to check into the hospital for more chemotherapy. And, in fact, it is. My bag is packed and I’m waiting on my ride, which will be here about noon. I’ll be in for at least five days, during which time they’re going to put a new central line into my right arm, since I have a blood clot in my left arm still. Not sure how long that will delay the start of my chemo, but, I’ll get about five days worth either way.
For those of you keeping track, I shaved for the first time in a month today. Mainly out of nostalgia, but also because I felt a wee bit of stubble. The rash is gone, but now parts of me are peeling and, still, itching a bit. Still, at least I’m not purple, so it’s all good.
I’ll try and update this blog more often, but the chemo really takes it out of me these days. You’d be surprised how much energy it takes to write and be creative! But, in any case, I’ll try. No guarantees, but I’ll try.
I love the updates, but the most important thing for you to do right now is get better. I think about you every day and hope the best for you. I am really looking forward to you getting better! I’ll bet you are too! I’ve heard Chemo is probably the most cruel of all medical interventions. That’s why it’s important for you to focus only on you! I’ll be ok out here in cyberland while you get better and patiently awaiting your recovery.

Good to hear you’re doing good(all things being equal, anyway)!

I’m very happy that you are doing so well, considering the circumstances and all. Just take care of yourself. You’ll feel like writing soon enough. Hug a tree! You’ll get some extra good chi passed on from Ethel the Tree.
