Not much sleep last night either.  Went swimming with Martha and Tara at their house and then tonight golfed 9 holes.  The first two were awful but the rest were like old times  It was the first time I golfed since the surgery and just the third time this year.  Hopefully I will be able to sleep tonight.  I want to be able to comprehend whatever the doctor says tomorrow.  Jim is going with me so hopefully between the two of us we will remember what she says.  I have a long list of questions written down so I just have to remember to bring the paper.   Have a nice weekend all.

Home again and you would think that I would be able to sleep now that I am home.... yeah right.  Just waiting for the Benadryl to kick in.  At least I can take it at home and sleep the day away when it finally kicks in.  Can't even go for a walk outside since it is raining.  At least I don't have to try to get up to go to work tomorrow when the drugs finally kick in.  Hope everyone is having a nice  night.  It is 5 a.m. now.  Jim will be getting up soon to go to work since he is in Ottawa working today and I haven't even gone to sleep yet.  Oh well Sparky keeps me company....  Later

At the Sand Banks taking a break in the shade.

Nice deep sand - great therapy



Great time at the Sand Banks - Mom had a great spot in the shade.  Gary and I had a great walk.  My feet feel better.  Still limited feeling but better than they were.

OK day today.  Spent lots of time with the massager.  I can even get it to work on my thighs which helps.  Off to take mom to her family picnic tomorrow.  Will be staying at my brother's to go to walk the sand banks on Sunday.  Will be back Tues night.  Have a nice weekend all in the rain.  We need it for sure.

Pedicure felt great.  Mom brought up a good point today: with all of the rain that we are getting and forecasting, some of my aches and pains are probably my good old arthritis kicking in... just blame everything on the chemo...  Got a new foot massager tonight.    Dr Scholls Artic Heat.  No water required and will do both heat or cold.  It has great reviews and so far feels great.  Sparky hates the noise but too bad, he will have to get used to it.
Tricked it last night.  Took the pain killers before I went to bed and didn't go to bed until after the time the pain usually wakes me up.  It worked for the pain.  Now to get the feeling back.  Taking mom to get her hair done today so I am getting a pedicure at the same time which hopefully will help get the feeling back a little.
