Good day today... only had to take one set of drugs.  Rest of the pain is tolerable.  Nice breeze off the water so nice to sit by the lake and relax and enjoy the company.  All good.  It is a little cooler today too since it rained last night and got rid of some of the humidity.  Just a few more days left to enjoy this relaxation environment.  Hope all are keeping cool in the city.

Not a good day.  Very hot and muggy.  Very sore and nauseaus.  Tried to go without drugs ... not a good thing.  Back to drugs and my special soup for sick days.  Night night...

We now have internet at the cottage.  So far so good.  No pain so far like I had last time I had chemo.  I am getting the tingling sensation but not the pain.  All four of us are here for mom's birthday tomorrow.  We rented a boat to take her out on the lake today but had to cut it short when it started pouring rain.  It was still nice to be out on the water for a couple of hours.  All good for now.

Kids just left for the Hope Volleyball Tournament.  They took our little tent for shade so they should be good to go.  Now I just have to pack and head out to the cottage for some rest.  Last night went well.  No nausea so if you take your meds as prescribed it works.  Ate this morning and took two more of the anti nausea drugs so should be able to make the trip with no problems.  Finished another hat yesterday which I couldn't do the day of the treatment last time because my hand was too sore.  Having the needle on the side is awesome.  Just a little pain in the night when I lied on it but then I smartened up and it was fine.  Will be back from the cottage next Sat.  Talk to you then.

Finally figured out where to set the time zone - it is set to Eastern Time Zone now.  I really am not always posting in the middle of the night....now that I can take Benedryl that knocks me out.
Second chemo over and done with.  Needle went in the side of my wrist this time and hasn't hurt much so far.  When it does it hurts around my elbow on the inside which is kinda weird.  It went in at 7:30 and out at 10 to 12.  Only slept about an hour this time.  5 of the batch of hats from last week were gone already so I piled on the new ones.  It was all uneventful.  No pain or sickness.  Will try to get out to the cottage tomorrow morning when it is cooler to drive but staying in the Air Conditioning today.  Won't be taking Sparky back out since it is too hot in the truck for him to last.   Time now to relax to build up my resistence to the pain that I know will be coming on Monday.  Have a nice weekend all.
