Chemo 6.2A

Things have been somewhat boring lately.  I'll take that.  Picking up where I left off, I had an appointment with a healer on July 28, hoping to make up for missing my Reike at Sonoma.  It was interesting, but I don't think I need to go back.  The focus was on my non-existent energy.  I'm letting other people suck it off of me and I have to be stronger about not letting them do that.  I like Diane better, but I think she would tell me the same thing.
The 30th was an extremely stressful day.  Those of you who know about it will understand why it isn't going into the blog, other than to say it was difficult.  I have now declared my life a drama-free zone, which I'm keeping, for the most part.  The 31st was supposed to be chemo 6.1C.  Ally took me, because Gretchen and Jim's plane was due in from Scotland, and Glenn had agreed to pick them up at the airport.  My white count was low, so no chemo.  They gave me a two week break--I was thrilled.
Iris and Victoria came to visit on the 3rd.  I'd made iris her third hat--this time a raspberry.  Holding Iris is pretty high on my list of favorite things to do.  She's growing, bit by bit, but is still a pretty precious little bundle.
The Olympics have been on, and that is quite time consuming.  I always feel that if I don't watch them then they won't award the medals.  I recorded a lot because it conflicted with my Giants schedule, and the Giants are part of my therapy.
Last night, we did a re-do of Glenn's birthday.  Ally and Monica joined Glenn and me for dinner at the Beach Chalet.  I scheduled it for that night because I figured it would be the last night this month that I would feel good.  We had a delightful time.  The food was delicious and the company the best.  I was pretty tired when we got there--i actually let Glenn help me into the restaurant.  I get faint, which is not a fun feeling.  After a good, nourishing dinner, I was able to make it to the car on my own.
So, this gets us, more or less, to today.  I had chemo 6.2A.  My doctor decreased the dosage, hoping to get all three doses in this time.  6.1A was way worse.  I hurt before we got into the car for the trip home.  It wasn't as bad this time.   Hope it stays that way.
That's it, you are now up to date.
