Feb 19 Condition Update

I’m doing quite well both yesterday and today. Yesterday we were driving to the grocery store and went past the car wash. The looked slow so I ran Blue Velvet through and it looked much better. After returning from the store I jumped in Dasher-1 and ran it through the car wash. I rediscovered its original color. I really need to get both vehicles detailed.

The temperature at 7:00 this morning was 14 degrees. In spite of the chilly climes, the Vorlon Wife and I went out for a two mile walk. I have been really slacking off when I’ve been in North Jersey. I just have not had the stamina to work out on the treadmill and also put in 11 plus hours at the client site. Something had to give and it was the early morning exercise.

That said, the further I get from my last chemo treatment the stronger I get. I’m planning on hitting the treadmill, when I return to my Forward Operating Base this week.

I feel like there are two forces at work in my body. One force is trying to make me feel good and the other is working in the opposite direction. This morning I was sitting in church and suddenly I would start to feel really good. Five minutes later I would feel not so good. I would say however, in general, I’m on the mend.

It appears that I’m getting a chemo vacation. Normally I would be having another chemo treatment next Wednesday. However, my next appointment with my oncologist is March 1.

I’m of mixed feelings about this. It will be nice to postpone another chemo treatment. But as nice as that would be, I’d much rather get on with the task at hand. I feel like the chemo treatments helping. I’m a firm believer that when you have your hands around the enemy’s neck, you should not let go until he is dead.
