Well, I had my second round of chemo. It went pretty much like the first. I felt good for a couple of days and then poof- someone came and stole all my energy. And I had that "great" taste in my mouth, could not get my throat cleared and had a queasy stomach. Yes, I would like some cheese with my whine. I know that they have made so many improvements in the drugs they give us that compared to even 5 years ago I have nothing to complain about. But, of course, I am. Hey, I have cancer - I can do that. Really, to only feel bad for a few days is nothing to complain about. I just hope that all my treatments are this easy. My cancer killers say it could be this way - others tell me it could get worse. At least I am still able to work on the days I feel good and they outnumber the bad ones. This time was especially good because one of my "daughters", Becky, came to visit. Walter cooked a fabulous meal - it was before the taste thing happened so I was able to enjoy it. It was so good to see her. She has become an amazing woman. Darya and the girls came in a day early for Thanksgiving so she could spend some time with Becky. That Monday Teresa and Kim came over. I stayed up as late as I could. When I went to bed all I could hear from the back porch was laughter. I am so grateful they have all remained friends over the years. I had a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. I am alive and plan to be for a long time. I plan to dance at all of my granddaughters' weddings. That should be a feat with Salym - I will be REALLY OLD by then. But, that is my plan. I just hope it is God's also. So, in parting, be thankful for every day you have and always tell your family and friends that you love them. Remember, rule number 1 is don't sweat the small stuff, and rule number 2 is, it is all small stuff.
Only 6 more to go!!!!!!
