May 17

Today I started to feel a little better. On Thursday I started a week break from the Chemo. I magically thought I would immediately feel better; unfortunately, I think the radiation is having more of a cumulative effect.



I did manage to watch Aaron's last track meet this morning at Mt. Sac and I am hoping to go to Yoga tomorrow. Since I think I am the most unlimber person in the world I am thinking this is a good time to start, no one will dare make fun of the the bald guy who looks like he is going through Chemo. I have not felt like running lately at all, I have tried to do some crunches and push ups so my muscles, or lack there of, do not completely atrophy. I am still loosing weight but nothing to be alarmed about. I think my appetite will come back during this respit. My blood levels are also holding right where they want them.



I go back to the heavily democratic chemo room on Thursday for the 4 hour drip. It is amazing to me that inside this room the norm of not speaking about politics or religion do not apply. I am also surprised to find that most of them are democrats, I fact I found out when I changed the TV to Fox news and was assaulted with what a bias news source it was. I thought better of engaging on which TV news station was not biased and went back to my Dave Barry. All this time, I thought Cynthia was the only democrat in Orange County.



I think my mid point of treatment is mid next week which is good news. I have been warned that the last weeks are very draining. I will keep trying to post. I also tried to update my profile to include a reply section and my e mail if you have any questions.
