Down to 4

Nothing much to tell this time. Infusion this week went pretty fast. Blood work looked good. Hematocrit and hemoglobin hanging in there without a shot. To maintain the white blood cells I'm giving myself 1 shot a week. I did have a little more fatigue a couple days after the infusion. My fingernails are right down gross. I have most of them cut down to half or less, as they were detaching and stinking. I was afraid they would catch on something and rip the whole thing off. It has been amazing to me how much I used to use my fingernails. Just waiting as the new nail slowly grows in. Fortunately I haven't had any neuropathy (tingling and numbness of hands and feet) yet. It would be nice not to have all the side effects! I will be taking this week off chemo, then will have four left.

The wedding is a week from today. We are hoping for some warm weather, as we've been having fog and clouds - more like June weather than August. So it might be cooler than we were expecting. So please plan accordingly. Regardless of the weather, it should be fun. One little snag is my oven broke last week. We're hoping it'll be fixed by Wednesday. Seems like it's always something!
