I completed my first chemo infusion on Tuesday. Everything went smoothly, especially with the "feel good" drug they gave me. Kath, Tory, Brad, and Robin were there to support me through this treatment. I remember eating a turkey sandwich and Tory making faces at me during this procedure, but the rest is pretty much a blur. I asked if I could have two gallons of the drug they gave me to take home. It was the first time I have been without pain for a long time. That night I actually slept for seven and a half hours. Now that I am home, I am trying to work out every other day using weights on my upper body. I can't do anything where I put weight on my right foot. I am using a walker to get around with. My left side is very strong and I have strength on my right side down to my knee. From the right knee to the foot, I have no control. I'll keep doing everything necessary to keep myself strong. I am also on a stricter diet. Kath and Tory are making sure I am eating correctly. My own personal chefs! My next infusion is on Tuesday. I hope it goes as well.

Dear Ron,
I'm sure your next infusion will go well. I will be thinking of you next Tuesday and sending nothing but positive thoughts in your direction.
Plenty busy down here in Albany. Not sure how we ever raised three kids when today, two granddaughters seem to demand all our attention. And they have been here all week...And we are wonderfully exhausted.
Thanks for stopping by this week. Your friendship means the world to me.
