2nd round of chemo starts Wednesday
It was great to have one week off from the Wednesday "cocktails" I had been getting. I still had cramping and tiredness problems, but, overall, last week was a very good week.
During the week, I found a couple of restaurant dishes I could actually dive into. I was joking with Kaye yesterday and told her maybe I would become a vegetarian (hopefully NOT). I can still eat meat, but now it has to be loaded with ketchup, tarter sauce, etc. We're going to try and start using the BBQ for fish as I can stand poultry either.
During my next break (end of this month), we're going to try and travel down South to see Chris and Shelley. Chris is doing much better and is staying with his sister (not too far from where Chris and Shelley live). Chris and Shelley have a multi-storied house and Chris is staying in a single story which makes it much easier to get around. Shelley is back working and trying to pick up the pieces from Chris' accident.
Kaye and I celebrated our 4th anniversary the end of June. My, how time flies. Since we did not do birthday celebrations this years, we didn't do much for our big day either. Since then though, Kaye has "acquired" herself A NON-VOLVO. We have purchased a "certified pre-owned" 2005 BMW 530i. Great car....a lot more room than the Volvo we traded in.
Take care and continued thanks for your thoughts and prayers.

Hi Jim,
It's really strange how chemo is so "personal" - affecting everyone differently. I could not stand most meats - especially the smell while cooking - but chicken was tolerable (barely).
You're doing great! Keep up the good work. We are all pulling for ya'.
