Getting ready!

Only two more!

OOPS! how did I hit the post button?  Anyway, this last treatment went just fine.  I was able to have a couple of friends take turns being with me while I was "infused".  4 1/2 hours is a long time, so  it was great to have company.   Dan was leaving for Texas so Rachel drove me home and stayed the night, just in case I had a reaction.  

Just like last time I really felt pretty good on Friday, and Saturday started off fine too.  I started getting stiff and sore in the afternoon, and now am pretty tired and sore.  Not nearly so extreme as last time though.   I am so thankful.  My legs and arms and neck hurt, and ....my face (the bones) which is odd and funny at the same time.  Hopefully my face doesn't hurt anyone else!

My friend Marianne, from Seattle, was in town for just a couple of days.  She came by for a short visit Saturday morning and the time just flew by.  But she had to catch a plane, and it was time to say good bye.  Someday we will get to visit until we run out of things to say, which might take a while...

My cousin Crystal is training for a 58 mile bike ride.  I saw a picture and she looks great!  She is a little over a year out from her Chemo for breast cancer, and very inspiring.  So cool.

Plans for the week ahead include figuring out what we will be doing on July 4th,  Toasting Danny's birthday, and a couple of Dr. appts.  

Any good suggestions for books?  I would love to hear them.  

Have an good week, enjoy each day.  Love, Carmine
