Let's start with a health update. Not much has changed from the last post. I was supposed to start chemo this week but when I had blood drawn on Monday my platelets were at 78,000 and they need to be at least 100,000 before I can resume the chemo therapy. So we will try again next Monday. The 78,000 number in,and of itself, is not disconcerting. But they can't get too low(20,000 - 30,000).
Our weather has finally changed to spring here and it has been fabulous. Yesterday I attempted to play in a golf scramble to benefit the hospital foundation. The event and the weather were great, my golf game not so much. I got really tired and had to quit after 9 holes. My balance is still not great. I am doing physical therapy twice a week and I need to be more vigilant with my homework. I ran 2 miles this morning and lost 3 more racquetball games this evening. I am getting a little more competitive and maybe by this time next week I will be able to report a win. For those of you who know me well please sit down for this next sentence.
We planning to have most of the family come in next weekend That should be a blast.
All in all it has been another good week. I do need to apologize to anyone who listened to me about the Derby. Actually Marti and I hit a lucky streak and walked away with$148. Again thank you so much for caring and hopefully not being too mad about my Derby "tip"
Happy Mother's Day
