Update 8/23

Well, this round of chemo (#6) has been diferent so far. At the moment, I'm laying down on the couch blogging from here and this is pretty much as good as it gets for today. I ake it back, Lou Sexson and Rich Ruocco came in and woke me up this morning to make me a smoothie and visit for a bit. Rich was sporting his BlochAid shirt and it made me laugh. He looks great in pink. It was fun to see them even though I was a bit out of it, and as soon as they left, I crawled back into bed. In fact, I have been in bed most of the day. I'm thanking God that I'm not nauseus - that is huge. It was too bad that I had to bow out of having a fabulous dinner with the Hydes tonight, but I just wasnt up to it.
It's kind of funny, I mean, maybe the decadron (which is an anti-inflammatory steroid that they infuse before I receive the Taxtere (chemo drug I'm on now) really kept me up on Monday night after the infusionn and I was feeling great on Tuesday. I'm actually surprised that I'm not feeling as great as I did last time. That's the way it goes. I'm glad that God keeps me hagning on to Him and not my own notions about how it should be....He does that with all of us...all day long.
Bless you,
Julie
