June 5 Update

I’m still feeling good. The chemo usually takes about 48 hours before I start to feel the effects. At least I won’t have to endure the Neulasta effects and for that, I’m thankful.

The Vorlon Wife and I went out for out 1-mile walk. It proved to be a long 1-mile walk. Just as we came out of the house, we encountered out next-door neighbor watering his lawn. We spent the next 15 minutes or so discussing lawn care and flower cultivation. He’s a little frustrated in that he has some bare spots in his lawn that weren’t there last year.

We finally bid our adieus and started on our walk. About the three quarter mile point, we encountered another individual relaxing at his picnic table. We exchanged hand waves. We’ve seen him before. He looked lonely, so went over to introduce ourselves and chat with him.

It proved to be an extended conversation. We found out a lot more about him than we really desired. We found out the house had been built by his grandparents and had been in his family every since. We found out he was married at 20, had two girls by age 22 and that he was divorced a few years later.

He’s just a lonely guy. I felt sorry for him, but we eventually disengaged out selves and eventually made it home.

The injection point on my arm is still very sensitive. I usually wear my watch on that spot and I won’t for a while.

I’m off to bed.
