The weekend is on it's way and so are Darrin, Riley and Maura. It's also the last day of round two of chemo. I get to swim, and I'm looking forward to that. Sharon has actually been in the pool before her usual July 4th. plunge. These 90+ days have gotten to her. The water is up to 83 now and that also helps. As I said once before, anyone reading the Blog is welcome to our get together Sunday afternoon. Bring your suits and tennis rackets.
It's swimming time, the water was 86 and I didn't even need a heater. I did buy a sun cover and that has helped a great deal. These last four days are the real helpers. It's been in the 90's each day and at night it's in the low 60's. Cate said she took some pictures of me swimming, but I have not seen them yet. I'm not sure if any of you want to see that either. My friend Bill Goan use to say I looked like a whale in the water. I could swim longer and faster than he could under water, but I wasn't as streamline as he was. I still love to swim, and I'm not slim or trim, but I'm faster than the average old fart.
My BS is finally some what under control. It was 167 this morning, but by lunch it was 101. That is about normal for me when things are going well. Anything under 140 is acceptable to me. I now have two weeks off to try to get back to feeling normal again. I felt good in the water, I wasn't feeling all the great until I got in the water, but once in, I stayed for and hour and a half. Swam laps for 20 minutes and spent the rest of the time cleaning the pool. I don't know where the little pool bunny has been, because the pool needed some well deserved vacuuming. It should be good now for the weekend.
This round of chemo went pretty well. I was tired in the afternoon after a full morning, but I didn't feel bad. I hope thing will go smoothly for the next couple days. Last time the bad time was 48 hours after the chemo. I'll keep you informed.
Ta TA for now.
