Monday was good! Went to work and felt like a normal person!!!! Or as normal as I can be!!! It was a good day....I started getting tired around noon but had some lunch and seemed to get a second wind! It's good to get my mind working again...need to concentrate on this to avoid "Chemo Brain". They say Chemo can effect your short term memory...so forgive me if I forget something!!! Anyways, I came home last night and crashed! Thus I'm up and moving this morning early!!! So far so good....I can still sleep like a log!!! Looking forward to long weekend away! Heading up to Lake Winnipesaukee in NH for annual "family reunion". Hopefully we'll have good weather....I'll need to stay away from crowds since that will be the time frame of my lowest White Blood Cell Count but that's OK...I'll become one of the older generation this weekend and hang out at the cottage instead of going down to the pier! Although I thought I had this treatment plan all outlined to have a "good" weekend in between each treatment, I guess I'm going to be limited on my activities on that good weekend. Although I should be feeling good, it's the worst time for possible infection so I need to be very careful in everything I do!!!
Update on medical side...Port OK...still uncomfortable but I think it's more from the blisters around the area due to the tape....I see the Doctor for a port check either tomorrow afternoon or Thursday at 4:30...I need to find my card and figure that one out!!!
Then, no more doctor's until Weds. Sept 5th...they have scheduled my blood work for the day before...so I can go straight to the hospital on Weds Morning at 7:00Am and have blood drawn to be ready for Thursday. Then Thursday, Sept 6th is second treatment...9:00AM Onc visit then treatment...hopefully with having blood drawn day before... this one will be quicker...actual treatment was only 2 1/2 hours last time so If I can get in to see onc right at 9:00, I can then hopefully be down to infusion room and done by noon this time!!!!
Go Red SOX!!!!! 8 Games ahead of Yankees this morning!!!!!

Hi Auntie,
Vacation, time to rejuvinate. The weather better be great. I hope that you can see the fireworks. I think that your blog is really special and great!!
I heard that doing things that you really love and bring you happiness accelerates healing. Also, laughter helps heal. Being around people you love and bring you smiles, laughter and love amplifies and resonates good energy. Across the miles, please feel my hug, love and support.
Kick ass!!!!
