Today I had bloodwork done…but they don’t have the results.  It is day 10 so my counts are all supposed to be at their lowest.  So from now until my next treatment on the 25th I have to concentrate on pumping up my immune system by eating all the right foods and getting some exercise.  I am going to be so much healthier after this is all over.  So far I have lost 32 pounds.  When I go places people look confused because they expect to see me looking very sick and I actually look healthier than I have in a long time.  I attribute that to my sugar being under control.  My wig is so natural it is hard to tell it is a wig if you don’t look closely so all in all I am doing good. 

I have had a small amount of bone pain in the night, but I just sleep in on those days and once I am rested I feel fine.  I am starting to feel good enough that I am in danger of overdoing it.  I realize my weakness in this area however, and so does my watchdog husband.  He is very diligent to make sure I am not doing too much.  I feel it when I do…but now instead of being at the moment, I feel it after it is too late to rest.  This next 10 days should be my best time in the cycle.  I plan to work again tomorrow then come home and rest before the football game.  Then we are leaving at half time to head out of town to Charlotte.  We will go part way Friday night then the rest of the way Saturday morning…mainly because Bill thinks it would be too much for me if we go up and back in one day.  He is probably right on that one.  I may not be blogging until I get back so make sure to check in on Sunday.  I am sure I will have lots to say…I am rarely at a loss for words as you all know.   🙂

Also please pray for Bill’s dad.  He got his pacemaker today.  All went well but it has just been a tough year for us all and our mortality has been up front and in our faces.  Peace is such a great thing to have in these kind of tough times!  And the prayers of our friends have carried us through…thank you all.
