May 24, 2013

Just powering through days of chemo here. Slowly but surely. Needle out tomorrow, then living the needleless dream for a couple of days before popping a new one back in for the next week of chemo. Standard protocol.

This whole taking the oral chemo at night scheme is quite clutch so far. Hope it continues; instead of the double up of chemo drugs during the day, taking the pills at night allows for the ability to sleep through the possible side effects it may bring. Though it's sometimes not so much fun to wake up dry-heaving at about 7 or 8 AM for most of you out there, it's not too bad for me. In fact, I'll take it over the other possible side effects.

Calculated Katie's official age today, thanks to the BBC, and UK and US vet services - 90. Old broad. Explains her sassiness and lethargy recently (as she snores in front of me...wait now a groan and roll). She got shot up with the juice today. I'll expect a couple of laps around the compound out of her tomorrow.

Now to get my you-know what back in gear after my little graduation honeymoon period...work to do, thank you notes to send, emails to respond to, and books to write (okay maybe not the last...but maybe...whoa). Later everyone!

  1. Nick, you are by far #1 in many ways!! Thank you for stopping by
    to see the children though I still don't know why you wouldn't do the Chicken Dance! You are a very special person to them. This is the prayer we say every day for you. Pope John Paul the second hear our prayers for Nicholas and if it is God's will we pray for a miracle Amen.
    He was such a special person and had such charisma with young people. Congratulations on your graduation to you and mom and dad too. Always in my prayers. Mrs. V
