Spanked

I have been spanked by a few of you for not updating my blog over the weekend. Silly me, I thought you only wanted information about my treatments. Apparently, you enjoy my mundane life too.

Weekend went by way too fast. My mother, sister, and her family, came and brought dinner Friday night. We had a splendid time and the food was great.

Saturday was nice not having to factor in time for the radiation treatment but I was very tired. Watched football games and tried to clean the house a little at the time. Most chores, if broken down into smaller pieces can be completed. My energy level is much lower and as hard as I try to ignore it, the ugly head rears and snorts to remind me and leaves no option but to get some rest.

We had our steak dinner Saturday night and it was wonderful. John is the best at cooking steak on the grill. We also roasted potatoes, peppers, onions and spices all lightly coated in olive oil and wow they were fine. Add to that just picked fresh cucumbers. Our little cucumber vine died Saturday. Don't know if the deer finally found it, but a few of the cucumbers had tiny chew marks and had to be discarded. We had really enjoyed them, but they are gone now.

Sunday we had lunch in Greenville with John's sister, Barbara and our niece Stephanie and her sweet family from Norfolk, Va. Her girls, Sydney and Avery, are at a wonderful age and we all enjoyed their stories and energy.

More golf, more football, a little racing and before you know it, the weekend was over. I have tried to maintain a regular schedule but it is hard to do. When I get tired I try to keep going but I don't know if that is good or bad. I know my body is being bombarded by bad stuff and I must do everything I can to allow it to heal but on the other hand, I don't want to spend my life in bed resting. What should I do?

Anyway, my life has been put on hold. Making any plans must be prefaced by "don't know how I will feel." So far, I have limped along okay. I know as I enter my third week of radiation and poison pills, things are happening. I can only pray that they are good things and every day we are one day closer to getting better!
