Another short night. Up again at 4am and not able to get back to sleep because of the needles in my port. Blood sugar at 250, much too high, they put that medicine in me again that spikes the blood sugar. I'm going to have them stick me each time from now on and take the needles out each day. I feel better today than I felt this weekend. I'm tired but want to get out and get something done. I'm going to take the bread over to the Essen House and probably have lunch over there and see some friends that I have not seen for a while.
Speaking of friends, my closest high school friend Chuck Reid, who has also beat cancer, called today. His wife, thank God, actually has the Internet up there in Big Timber. They just arrived at the upper ranch having spent the winter in Arizona. I've known Chuck since high school and this is the first time I will be able to communicate with him, actually France, via the Internet. Chuck, if your reading this, it ain't going to cost much to do this I promise. I know how you watch the pennies up there in Big Timber. But think, now you don't have to use the cell phone and spend that money. You gotta know there going to get you one way or another. Read about the other two blogs that Darrin did about our Cabo trips.
Well hopefully I will now be free for two weeks. I start the second round of Chemo on June 22nd. If my hair falls out I'll let you know I'll add something if I feel the need. In the mean time, Thanks again for all your support.
