I completed my third chemo infusion on Tuesday. The nurses and nursing staff on the seventh floor infusion unit located at the Center for Health and Healing are incredible. They help make a very difficult time as inviting and welcoming as could be imagined. I really admire and appreciate all they do. With that said, I went through the procedure smoothly. Besides I had a nice view out my window of the Willamette River and was able to watch two osprey flying around their nest. I also had a good conversation going with my wife and brother until I went to la-la land. I was also fitted for a brace that will extend from my foot to my knee. The hope is to provide stability to my walk and allow me to have a better sense of balance. I pick this up Wednesday to see how it works. I am able to continue to work, which I thoroughly enjoy, but I simply have to schedule for a longer period of time between observations because I move very slowly. I am learning to maneuver my walker a little better each day. I am learning that I really appreciate buildings that have automatic doors! I really appreciate Robin lending me two walkers and a wheelchair (if it comes to that). I also thank Barry for tuning them up for me (what a mechanic!). Currently Kath and I are trying to figure out what triggers the pain in my back. We think it may be some of the weights that I am using to try to stay in shape. We are going through a process of elimination at the moment. I hope to find what works and what does not. My hair is getting thinner, but I still have it all. Kath may have to trim it soon if it does not fall out. For those of you that have asked, the only days that I don't feel up to visitors is the day of chemo and the day after. My next chemo dates are April 25, May 2, and May 9. Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers. I'll take them all!!
