Ankle Update - Good News

Well, I got good news the other day in physical therapy. My right ankle has progressed well enough to be able to be released from phyiscal therapy and just follow thru at home. We are making progress in the healing of my many health issues.

As for my chemo and how I feel.....I have recovered much more quickly this time that after the first chemo treatment. I am now able to go for walks and build up my strength and endurance a little more, which should help me in the long run. I even feel well enough and have enough energy (won't know until I try) to go to the opening UT football game on Labor Day weekend in Knoxville. Go Vols!!

My next chemo treatment is scheduled on September 9th and I'm hoping it will proceed much as the second one has....with a little less bone pain if possible.

Only 6 more to go

Well, my second treatment has come and gone. I didn't feel quite as bad after this one as the first. I also didn't start out anemic either. The extra blood that I got the week before my treatment has really helped me out. Kyle didn't feel all alone this weekend...I didn't sleep the entire weekend. I'm already feeling much better and able to get up and do things a couple of days earlier than last time.

Again, thank you to all our friends and family for your thoughts and prayers. Your continued support and thoughtfulness has helped both Kyle and I more than you will ever know.

It's that time again...

Well, today is my second chemo treatment. I'm feeling good right now energy wise and eating well. The 2 units of blood they gave me last week really helped me with the fatigue. Hopefully all will go as it did last time and I will just sleep for about 5 days and then start to feel almost normal again...I can even start to exercise now that its been 6 weeks since my surgery. Just one step closer to all of this being over and being able to get on with our lives. Just one day at a time....................

On the mend from Chemo

Well, its day 6 since my 1st chemo treatment. I'm on the mend and feeling better, so hopefully I will have a couple of weeks of feeling good before the next treatment. Days 3 & 4 were rough but sleep took care of those days.
