For Crying Out Loud

...so you are expecting to hear from me. I meant to blog yesterday so that I am not just writing about being sick or treatments, but I ran out of steam. I do have an appointment today, but not for chemo and with no labs, so I won't have any blood counts to share with you. Today I am just going to get x-rayed and probably another tattoo, on my stomach this time. The other two are on my ribs. Truth be told, I am sort of dreading the radiation. I fear that the side effects will be more severe than from the Gemzar. I have been most fortunate with the Gemzar, but I don't think I am going to get off so easy with the radiation. I have an appointment with Dr. Pelley on Monday with labs, then appointments on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday because the radiation will start on Wednesday.

On a lighter note, Rae has gotten me hooked on Suduko puzzles. Nathan tried to show me how to do them, but I think I was still too fuzzy. Rae and I did one together, so I got the gist. I've tried several since then, but once I make a mistake, I can't figure out how far back to go to fix it, so give up. Well, Rae sent me a book of them yesterday (Actually, it came yesterday) and they start out "Light & Easy". I'm good with those, so far. It felt so good to finish not just one, but 4 last night! Like I had really accomplished something. Well, the book will be perfect to take to radiation appointments. I will have to wait, but not as long as for chemo. Knitting was great for chemo when I was sitting in a chair for about 2 hours, but waiting 10-15 minutes? Suduko will be just fine.
