Quiet day. Sandy and I went back to bed after breakfast....she had been up most of the night, coughing and I was just feeling pooped. So we slept until 1pm!
Spent the afternoon, quietly, on the computer and reading the papers.
Went to pick up my prescriptions tonight at Stop and Shop and then over to the Relay For Life Team Captain meeting. Picked up some donation cans I will see if I can put out in various spots. Ordered our team's t-shirts...but relieved to find out that I can still submit orders for shirts if I get more people added to the team. I know there are folks out there who are going to join the team and haven't sent me their t-shirt size yet.
Home in time to watch the Sox beat the Yanks again.
All in all...a very good day! Think I'll call Bob Miller and go up to see him...they have a nice donation for the Relay for me. Worth the drive to Putnam to see them, maybe take them out to eat at the barbecue place and have a nice visit. We won't be going out for barbecue tomorrow night I don't think as Sandy isn't feeling right. So, I want the damned barbecue--have wanted it for AGES it seems, so I'll take matters into my own hands.....and my father will appreciate the good meal I'm sure!
Now I'm off to bed.
Nighty night!

Monday Monday
Yesterday I was getting ready to take a shower and looked out the window. There was a little pug dog running down the road, cars were slowing down and two little girls were running after the dog, clutching the empty leash. I went out and asked them if they had treats to lure the dog. They said no, so I went in to get some for them.
When I came back out, they came down the driveway and the dog followed them, so at least he was off the road. He was very scared and shied away each time they tried to get him. One of the little girls was crying she was so upset.
I got some string cheese and tossed it to the dog...who finally started eating the treats and getting closer to us. I asked them if they had taken their dog to obedience classes--they hadn't. I explained to them that they need to make their dog want to come back to them...so they need to be very happy when he finally allowed himself to be caught.
Their brothers came down on their bikes and the little dog went up to one of them....I told him to slowly reach down to pet him and then catch him...which he did. I reminded the little girls to do "happy talk" to the dog now that they had him. I also told them that if they were interested in obedience I could give them the name of a good trainer.
They were very happy to have their dog back. I was happy for them.
This afternoon they came by with a hand made card: "To the Lady Who Saved Mugsy"...thanking me and telling me they had no idea how happy they were that I saved Mugsy. They said they are going to take Mugsy to obedience class and Sandy gave them the brochure for Suzanne's classes.
They even drew a picture of their dog...it was very cute...I posted it in the place of honor--on the fridge.
Sandy called out sick tonight as she doesn't think this is an allergy that she is experiencing. Her voice is non-existent. I have to do the talking on the phone, she doesn't even answer--there would be no point...you can't understand her. We're hoping that nothing spreads to me--with my counts it could be dangerous.
She is excellent at handwashing, covering her cough, etc. and has been careful since her symptoms started. So, I think the odds are good in my favor.
Time will tell....now, won't it?

National Agility Championship Title!!
Sandy and Truman did it today! They got a Q in Chances....the one event they needed to earn the championship title. They did it with Sandy giving hand signals to Truman, because her voice is completely gone. She had to save her voice to be able to give him the one voice command she needed to give "get out" to push him to the obstacle that started the "chance" section of the course.
This is HUGE! The two of them have been working for years to get this title and now after all those classes, all of those trips to NY, VT, NH, MA and CT to agility trials, all of the times they came so close; got hurt and had to take a break; suffered through the rain, heat, wind, etc. THEY DID IT!!!
Bubbles also did well. She has always had problems with jumpers in the NADAC venue--she would run her little heart out and could never make the time. Now, she runs as a veteran and it gives her a lower jump height--four inches instead of eight inches and more time to run the course. She can jump really high, so the four inches isn't really necessary...but the additional time to complete the course is just what she needed. She got her first ever Q in Novice Jumpers! She finished with seven seconds to spare! YAY!! She had a good time, I can tell...by the way she came racing in to see me when she got home---peeing all over my lap. I missed that.
And with that I say, Nighty night!

BTW...
I have been having problems with neuropathy....it started a few days ago. I had it a little bit after the chemo before this last one...the fifth chemo. This trouble started almost three weeks after the sixth chemo.
Thursday night was the worst night...my feet were tingling all the way up to my knees...the left one worse than the right. And, in the morning two fingers on each hand were numb. This concerned me as I really DON'T want neuropathy as a lingering side effect of the chemo.
For those of you who have neuropathy, you know what I mean....and I'm sure my situation is mild compared to some folks I know. My feet feel like they do just before or just after they "go to sleep"....it tingles and feels slightly numb. I know friends of mine who have the complete numbness...and I don't want to go there!
I asked "Little Ann-Marie", who was my nurse Friday--and she said that it can last up to a year. If the symptoms come on later in the chemo, the odds are that they will go away faster.
I think they are going away already! Am I the LUCKY ONE or what! This AM I felt only mild tingling and now it's happening only intermittently.....LUCKY DUCK!
Tomorrow I hope Lynne and David will come over....and I think Carol and Mark will come too. We'll fool around and I have exactly five steaks I can grill for us. I have some asparagus I can pick...but not enough for all of us. I may pick some up from the store. I'm going to chance leaving Lily for a short time so I can run to the store to pick up what I need--once I confirm that I will be having company!
I sent an email to Toni and Barb today asking them if they have any work for me. I could do physicals, but until my hair comes back, that's about all I can do. The hair (or lack of it) gives me away and the students could be thrown off the correct diagnosis.
My hair is growing so fast...I'll probably be able to fool the students by mid-June. Some of them are so unobservant---they won't notice the lack of eyebrows and eyelashes.
In some ways, I'm sorry to see my hair come back. I'm enjoying this baldness, the feeling of the sun and breeze on my bare head and I have to admit---as several people have said--my head does have a nice shape!
In a few minutes I'm calling Jack to reserve a hotel room at the MeadowMere in Ogunquit--where he works. We're taking Jean up there for her birthday later this month. Jack comes on duty at 11....and then I'm going to bed.
This AM Lily let me sleep until I wanted to get up---at 10:30. If Bubbles had been here I would have been up at 5:30 and again at 8:00 at the latest! I miss her, but is it nice to sleep without a 11 pound heat-producing, squirmy puppy in the bed every once in awhile!
Tonight Lil and I sleep peacefully again. Tomorrow they return. Oh and Truman qualified in Chances today...one more Q in Chances and he wins his NATCH!! National Agility Champion Title! This is something he and Sandy have been working towards for about 8 years! I hope they do it tomorrow---Sandy isn't feeling well...she's hoping it's only allergies, but she has a horrible sore throat and sounds terrible! She's afraid that it's something worse and that she may have passed it on to me. Let's hope not....time will tell.

No Go Friday
Well...we DID go...but we didn't stay. Lynne got up to the house at 8:45 and off we went to Providence, with me at the wheel. Got my blood work and urine spec done and sat and waited for the good word from "Little Ann Marie" who was my nurse for the day.
The Social Worker for the Dream Study I'm participating in came up to chat with us. We had a nice talk, which helped me from becoming antsy while awaiting the word.
Finally Ann Marie came in and told me that my counts were too low. My ANC (the test results that show my vulnerability to infection) was down from last week! It was 750 last week, 650 today! BUT, YESTERDAY it was 400...and Ann Marie said when it's that low I shouldn't be out near people....but, of course I had to go get my blood work done...and then there was that part where I went into KFC for a couple of minutes...but I slathered on the hand sanitizer right afterwards (before I handled my food).
Ann Marie seems to think that next week I will be fine. I'm sure she is right. I was disappointed but not devastated. I felt bad for Lynne, who had to drag herself out of bed way early to get to Griswold to come with me. So I drove her back to our house and made her a nice breakfast, which she really appreciated. I would have taken her to a restaurant, but I'm not supposed to go out and Sandy would have killed me....and Lynne wouldn't have let me anyway!
I was talking with a woman who was awaiting her chemo. I asked her if she had a hard time getting a response when she called the cancer center....she was very negative about the whole place! I was surprised...the only problems I've had were with the lady at the reception desk (she needs a different job) and the fact that it is very hard to get a response when I call. They don't call back, I have to make multiple calls to get them to fax the lab slips, etc.
This woman and her friend-sister? didn't have a good attitude. I feel badly for her. She needs to look beyond the problems and realize that her life is being saved at the center. She's bitching because she has to wait a bit for her app't? And then the way she says "I have to sit there for FIVE HOURS for a chemo session"...in such a disgusting tone---HELLO!!! We ALL have to do that! It's an inconvenience for her? She needs to hurry up and get her priorities right!
I see what they mean when they say attitude is everything. I complained today about the lab slip problem, but I wasn't nasty about it. I made some suggestions of what I might be able to do to make it easier for them....and I'm going to do it if I ever have to get them to fax a slip to the hospital. What the hell's the sense of just bitching and moaning if you aren't going to get involved in trying to make the situation better?
Sandy is off to Greenfield with the Russells. She just called and said it didn't look like it had rained there. She is camping and I hope it doesn't get too cold. I am trying to get some folks over here to visit, while I'm home alone with just Lily...who is SO EASY on guests...she just licks them to death...as Lynne discovered today.
So, if you are reading this...feel free to come on over!

If I'm at the Backus Lab...this must be Thursday....
Up early to shower and get down to get my blood work done. I called the Cancer Ctr. before I got in the shower, to have them fax the lab slip to Backus. Got down to the hospital around 9:30. They hadn't recieved the fax. We called Providence...they got put on hold...I took over the phone while they took care of other patients. Talked to someone who told me that "they were all busy in clinic with patients"....they would fax it in a few minutes. Waited 45 minutes and then called again. "The nurses are really swamped." I said, "last week a Tech sent the request, can you find SOMEONE who can send the request?"
Finally, after 11:00, and after I had been exposed to two sneezing, coughing toddlers and one nurse who brought down a specimen from a woman who is suspected to have Swine flu...yes...you are reading that right (I only hope they were WRONG)....finally my fax comes through...they do the test and I'm flying out the door before anything bad can happen to me.
I did wear my mask while I was in there, and one of the kids put a mask on too...but as Maria writes....those masks don't stop the Swine flu virus particulate. You need a TB mask for that. Sandy is going to get one for me.
And good thing too....as I just got the call from my pal Rosa...my white cell count is still too low, but they aren't canceling me for tomorrow--they want me to be redrawn. So, Lynne and i will drive out there tomorrow and think lots of positive thoughts...hoping I get my chemo!
On my way home from Backus I went to KFC and had one of their new grilled chicken meals...I got a breast and wing. The meal is REALLY good. The chicken is moist and tasty and not heavy. I would definitely get it again....and I'm not a huge KFC fan.
When I got home, Jean was in the side yard, raking. She is a sick woman...she loves to come to our house and rake leaves. She is keeping count of the number of big leaf bags she fills (Sandy dumps them in the compost out back...and she uses the bags again)...and it has got to be over 20 by now....easily! She even got poison ivy and is on Prednisone for it and she STILL COMES! I told you...it's sick.
Sandy had left to go grocery shopping, Jean's in the yard...so I busied myself cleaning the house. I did the whole damned thing, dusting; vacuuming; washing the floors....everything! I even moved the bed and the dressers and vacuumed behind them...something Miss Sandy doesn't do when she cleans. I even lifted out the A/C floor grates in the living room and breakfast nook and vacuumed down into the ductwork. I will do the other rooms the next time I clean...probably next week.
I did take breaks in between doing the first and second floors. I thought that if I sat down I might not get up and get going upstairs, but I was wrong. I rejuvenated myself and got going again.
I even made supper tonight and have already eaten. Sandy took the Russells to agility. She wasn't going to take Bubbles because she was sounding raspy earlier this week and the vet said to keep her home from class and from the agility trial this weekend. But tonight Bub went out to the car, wanting to go...something she NEVER does! We talked about it...decided that she should go and she should go to the trial. She hasn't sounded wheezy, raspy or at all sick...only that one night and that day she had been doing a lot of snuffling in the ground--she probably had dirt up her nose.
That means Lily and I will be home alone this weekend. Which will be good for us. Sandy is all worried about me being home alone...but for crying out tears...if I can clean the house, drive around town and do all sorts of other things, I think I can be home alone! She has Carol and Mark on stand-by in case I need help. I'll show her. I think I'll put up that Martin House I bought this week. Won't she be surprised!
I just realized...she's camping this weekend...she's going to need both of those dogs sleeping with her to keep warm! Good thing Miss Bub is going with...she gives off a LOT of heat!
Oh...another thing...the guy from Overhead Door came to check on our garage door...it has been making a weird cracking sound. Sure enough, he recommends a new door. This is the original and it's not that good quality to start with...so we are having a new door and new door opener put in to be on the safe side. Another expense.
Now I will go watch the Sox....they are playing their nemesis from last year---the Rays. And now the Rays are winning 3-0. But, as I said, so prophetically last night....it ain't over till it's over. We'll see how that works out tonight.
GO SOX....GO CELTS...GO BRUINS (I don't watch hockey...but it's only fair I throw them in there)
Nighty night---wish me luck for tomorrow's chemo...I have missed a complete cycle now--this must STOP!!!

Seems I have a lot of energy in the morning...so I take advantage of it. Today I stripped the bedding, removed the mattress warmer and put on the "Spring/Summer" mattress pad, changed the sheets and then washed all of the above.
I was going to work out on the Wii...but after eating my breakfast of reduced sugar oatmeal and a cup of coffee out on the deck, I was too "lazed by the sun" to do anything but sit in the recliner and play on the computer.
A weird thing happened on Facebook. I got this message that Mary McKay's sister, Susan "accepted me as a friend"....well, I had never requested that she be my friend! I'm sure she's a nice person...she is Mary's sister after all...but I don't even know her! I wrote to h er and told her it had to be some kind of computer glitch....I hope it's not something more sinister. We'll see.
We were going to go to Russell's Ribs tonight for dinner--FINALLY! But then Sandy and Mark went off to get a truck load of cow manure---for the princely sum of $8.00, from the farm up the street and then Sandy and Carol got to talking on the phone and next thing you know we're deciding to stay home. We'll go next week and Carol and Mark will join us. That will be fun.
We were watching the news tonight....all about the Swine Flu. Since my immunity levels are way down, we decided it's best for me to avoid places like restaurants, stores and the casino for awhile longer. I may have beaten cancer, but right now something stupid like the swine flu would kill me. And believe me, that would really piss me off!
I go tomorrow to have the damned blood work done again....let's hope third time's the charm! I really want to have that chemo session on Friday...so we'll hope the blood levels are up high enough to meet their requirements. I will wear the mask when I go to the lab...I'm not taking any chances. You never know what people there for blood work might have...they are all SICK!
Sox lost last night with a stupid play at first to end the game for them. Now they are losing again tonight, but it ain't over 'till it's over.
I can almost make out some hint of color in my hair. I'm confused about what color it's going to be. It looked white when it was stubble...but now I see some darker tones in there. It seems that every day it grows noticeably more and more. My hair always did grow fast. It's fun to watch it come in. Soon I'll have to trim some of the wild hairs that are "going rogue" on me. I can't stop running my hands across the stubble...it feels so cool.
Celts won last night...I didn't even realize they were on. Sounds like it was one helluva game. I have to check the papers to see when they are on next so I don't miss it again.
Okay...now it's 5-1...Bay just scored...that may start something for the Sox.
Well...I should watch this now.
Nighty night!
I was going to work out on the Wii...but after eating my breakfast of reduced sugar oatmeal and a cup of coffee out on the deck, I was too "lazed by the sun" to do anything but sit in the recliner and play on the computer.
A weird thing happened on Facebook. I got this message that Mary McKay's sister, Susan "accepted me as a friend"....well, I had never requested that she be my friend! I'm sure she's a nice person...she is Mary's sister after all...but I don't even know her! I wrote to h er and told her it had to be some kind of computer glitch....I hope it's not something more sinister. We'll see.
We were going to go to Russell's Ribs tonight for dinner--FINALLY! But then Sandy and Mark went off to get a truck load of cow manure---for the princely sum of $8.00, from the farm up the street and then Sandy and Carol got to talking on the phone and next thing you know we're deciding to stay home. We'll go next week and Carol and Mark will join us. That will be fun.
We were watching the news tonight....all about the Swine Flu. Since my immunity levels are way down, we decided it's best for me to avoid places like restaurants, stores and the casino for awhile longer. I may have beaten cancer, but right now something stupid like the swine flu would kill me. And believe me, that would really piss me off!
I go tomorrow to have the damned blood work done again....let's hope third time's the charm! I really want to have that chemo session on Friday...so we'll hope the blood levels are up high enough to meet their requirements. I will wear the mask when I go to the lab...I'm not taking any chances. You never know what people there for blood work might have...they are all SICK!
Sox lost last night with a stupid play at first to end the game for them. Now they are losing again tonight, but it ain't over 'till it's over.
I can almost make out some hint of color in my hair. I'm confused about what color it's going to be. It looked white when it was stubble...but now I see some darker tones in there. It seems that every day it grows noticeably more and more. My hair always did grow fast. It's fun to watch it come in. Soon I'll have to trim some of the wild hairs that are "going rogue" on me. I can't stop running my hands across the stubble...it feels so cool.
Celts won last night...I didn't even realize they were on. Sounds like it was one helluva game. I have to check the papers to see when they are on next so I don't miss it again.
Okay...now it's 5-1...Bay just scored...that may start something for the Sox.
Well...I should watch this now.
Nighty night!
