Catch up time

I have settled into a routine of chemo on Monday morning and radiation at 3:30 five days a week so
nothing new to report. Well, except that my "port" didn't work on Monday so I had an IV in my
wrist for the session and had to go to the hospital after radiation to have a "port study" performed.
The result of that was that the needle was improperly installed and the port is working properly. I really
didn't need another procedure to endure but whatever.
I played golf today and it turned into an ordeal for some reason. I really started feeling down and could
barely finish the round. I guess the 81 that I shot was pretty good considering my condition. I think the
chemo really hit me for the first time and it wasn't a lot of fun.
Brother James and Rikki called and came over for a visit this evening. It was really good to see them and
catch up on things.
Sleeping is becoming a challenge also. While I have been cruising for the first couple of weeks of
treatments, perhaps I am now going to pay the piper. We'll see I guess.
My spirits are high and I am determined to beat this thing no matter what it takes so a day at a time will
have to do.
