• I’ll be a warrior for you

  September 8, 2011

      I finished a phone call with Aunt Linda and suddenly realized, more than ever, that there are sometimes unseen reasons for what we experience in life.  How our set of circumstances can deeply impact someone else.  Even if I can't see it, who can benefit...

• Chemo round 1

  September 2, 2011

  Chemo Round 1. I checked in at 8:30 and checked out at 2:30 making Round 1 a 6 hour ordeal.  Tom took the day off to accompany me and together during the treatment, we were somewhat productive.  Tom read, researched all sorts of things via the free wifi, and actually managed a nap or tw...

      The hot shower tonight was so good..........so very good.    Because the cold was so very cold outside.  And Tom asked me tonight if running was really worth it.  I guess I should stop telling him the stories.  He can't understand.  I'm not sure anyone ...
