Half-way

I had my last infusion of Adriamycin yesterday! Yea! I still have to take a week of cytoxin. They are big pills and getting increasingly harder to swallow. A nurse suggested taking them with pudding. That sounded like a good idea. I take them in the morning, so pudding for breakfast. Actually the applesause worked just fine this morning.

Ruth and John came for a visit on Sabbath. We had fun visiting and showing them around the island a bit. They took us out for brunch and supper. Thanks for coming and for the cheese and meals!

I found a use for my razor. I wore shorts yesterday - yes it is warm enough for shorts - and as the sun shone on my legs in the car, I realized I still do have some hair on my body. Even my eyelashes and eyebrows are disappearing. The head hair is one thing, but the eyelashes and eyebrows, that just seems cruel!

Hooray for now being on the last half! And for 'surviving' construction of the walls & pond, new lawns, graduations & movings and planning for a wedding. It's been a hectic 3 months even without chemo!
Love, Mom & Dad
