A Pleasant Surprise

I was pleasantly surprised that the consequences, following Chemo on Tuesday, have been minimal. Although I lost my breakfast this morning, I didn't experience vomiting/nausea on the day of or the day following my encounter with GB. I now dare to hope that we might be getting use to each other!

My time with my brother was joy-filled and, of course, I was sad to see him leave. He and Barbara visited each of the eight days they were here and are now safely ensconced back home in Paignton,England.

I am looking forward to a break from Chemo next week but need to summon my courage, once again, to face another Stent procedure. At least once this one is over, I won't have to worry about it again.

Today I decided to begin a walking regime, at least while the weather holds. Its 13 degrees outside with light showers. Walking does not exactly provide the high of running but I am conscious of the need to get more exercise and this might be a way to accomplish that.

It has been a delight to be able to see friends for short visits and we hope this can continue. We are celebrating more good days and, should you not find an update on the blog, you can assume that we are doing o.k.
