Today is a big day

I have been home from the hospital for almost a week and I feel better than I have since I started Chemo. They are trying a new long lasting nausea drug. Today we check all my levels and then maybe tomorrow, try a reduced chemo regimen. I pray for that. I don't delays that push this into 09. I want to finish it now. I am not teaching this fall at the college. Breaks my heart. I love the college and my students. So I am free and available to do nothing but care for me. If I have to lie in my bed and eat rice 3 times a day to stay straight....I will do it.

I am told everyday by someone that they are praying for me and want to help. Food is still being dropped and good wishes are flowing my way. If nothing else I am comforted by my family and community and it means everything.

Planning my 50 1/2 B'day for Feb. Just save every Sat. because we haven't picked a date yet.
Huge blow-out like the Holiday do. Presents required. I am thinking of registering at a few places.......just kidding.

More after the vist to the oncologist.
