Recovering from chemo today.  On my second day, the nurse made a mistake with the timing of the infusion.  She had switched from saline to the chemo, and didn't change the timing of the drip.  The saline was full blast, and the chemo was supposed to take an hour to go in, and it was done in 15 minutes.  I don't mind getting out of there sooner, but I was a little worried about what it would mean for me.  Turns out that some people get the same dose at 15 minutes, but it can make the side effects a little meaner.  Which I think may be the case for me.  Today has been harder than some previous Mondays.  I'll do another round of chemo in 3 weeks, then go in for another PET scan after that.  I am confident that our prayers are being answered, and that things are going well.

In the mean time, Kassy is finishing up her last quarter at UCSB for now.  Because of all that's going on, she is going to come home and work and study here for awhile.  I don't like to be the reason she is leaving school, but I have to say I've missed her terribly, and am looking forward to having her home again.  Hopefully I won't get on her nerves too much after she gets here.  Cody has missed her desperately, and is talking all the time about how glad he is she is moving home.  She is able to take a leave of absence, so she will be able to return in the future if she wants.  She had been having some trouble deciding what she wants to be when she grows up, and we have talked about culinary school.  Since I love food, it would be great to have someone who knows how to cook around here.  I'm not much into the cooking myself.

I am trying to get out of the house and get some fresh air in my week recovering from chemo.  It's very hard to get out when feeling not great, and it leaves me without any energy for awhile.  But the dog really appreciates it.  He's been filling out a little, so I need to get him some exercise.

That's all for now.  Thanks for reading, and for your support and prayers.

God is love.
