 Well my chemo record has finally come to an end. I couldn't get it today because my counts were too low. My white blood cells were only 1.6 which means I am highly susceptible to catching infections.

When my nurse saw how many times I've received chemo in a row she was surprised. She said "nobody ever makes it that far without a break". That impressed her. She said "with your counts that low you need a break". And I agree. She asked me if I've been real tired lately and I said yes. It's because my red blood cell count is low too. So she gave me a shot for that.

I'll go back next Friday and try again.

Sorry to hear you missed your chemo this time around, but, apparently, it's not a big deal, and you did quite well to get it for as many consecutive weeks as you did. You missed chemo, and the Colts lost this weekend--two long streaks came to an end, but the Colts are still probably the best team in the NFL this year, and you're still going to kick some butt, right?

I'm glad to hear that, because I never got that dinner and car cruise with you over the summer! I might not let you make any excuses next year!

Are you ready for Christmas? I THINK I've got most of my shopping done. My brother Paul was due in from Texas today, so we should have the whole family together this weekend. It's going to be a tough one for my mom, since it's the first Christmas without my dad, but she'll be surrounded by her family, and I'm sure that's the best thing for her. I was off work today, and for the rest of the week (using up the last of my vacation time!), and I'm hoping to get some work done on her apartment. Patrick is planning to continue with kendo--and I'm happy about that--and he wants the standard robe and the armor now. I may take him to get that on Friday. If we get it, I'll send you pictures--it looks really cool.
