Chemo 7.3

Slept most of the day. I was just getting up when I heard Emily and Anna knocking on the door. They just arrived home from school (happy and smiling) and now Emily is singing to herself and dancing around the kitchen while she makes a snack for herself and Anna. I don't know when Emily turned into such a big kid. She is very cool.

I'm getting bored with the whole chemo thing - mild nausea, distracting headache, exhaustion, weird taste in mouth, bleeding gums, tingling fingers and toes, that weird poisoned feeling. None of it is like somebody is sticking a knife in your side, but cumulatively you just get kind of sick of it. Oh well...a few more days and I'll be feeling great. And hey, nobody else in the family has started puking yet, so it could have been a lot worse!

Hard to keep reminding yourself that all that crap they're pumping into you is called "Medicine"... hope tomorrow is the start of an upswing. Love you...Dad
