Well, age 60 began where 59 left off.  Up and down during the night, uncomfortable, and a bit lethargic.  Regardless, needed to be productive.  

Three dogs are in the home temporarily along with my children.  I'm happy with that.  Up kinda late, cleaned up a small coffee maker mess, and got the day started.   

Walked a little over a mile and wanted more, but my digestive system said otherwise.   Finished breakfast and went out back here and there enjoying family and doing a few tasks. Took a short nap and waited for Matthew to come by.  Decided to get started on some backyard work when Matthew arrived.  Then I looked up and it was Zachary! He drove overnight after taking a major exam to be here.  It was very emotional for me!  All three children are here.  I preferred my original plan of taking everyone to Key West and I still hope one day to do that, but I'm extremely happy beyond imagination that we are all together once again.  I just wish circumstances were different.  

Had a scaled-down, but wonderful dinner.  Aside from the dogs getting a bit cranky at times, it was nice to talk about a wide range of subjects.  Topped off with a small cake (thanks to Dawn).


Overall, I'm happy to celebrate 60 years and hope I have many more.  Boys crashed at their mother's house and Jennifer and Josiah are here.  Time to get some sleep.

It was an eventful and emotional day on Friday.  Up early and on the road before sunrise for another round of labs and chemo (#15). Skipping the details of wondering why the process seemed slower than usual, but later made sense.  After I got hooked up and prep drugs administered,  I wheeled my pump and rack of drugs to the restroom and back when I found my nurse standing outside my pod.  She gave me heads up that my oncologist stopped by and was already sitting down so I suggested we can get started on administering the chemo.  She said the doc wanted to chat first, so I went in (mask and all), gave a salutation and fist bumped the doc and sat in my heated chair.  Asked how I'm doing, I replied "doing well" in a confident voice, and he stated he is pulling the plug on further chemo. What?!?  I didn't quite understand and said I'm ready for more chemo ... let's kill this thing inside me.  He explained no and that chemo was no longer ne...

Not doing well documenting my journey. Hope I can get fixed. Another day of low 20s 🥶 Decided it was time to bring a bike out with the goal of riding very soon! Too cold and had to bring out the heat lamps on Monday and Tuesday night.  Got down to at least 19°F. Worked a little outside.   Achieved plenty of walking and trainer miles this week.  Now time to rest in preparation for Friday's infusion therapy.  That's all for now. Anxiety creeping in.
