It's around 3:00 pm Monday, we just got in from the first day of chemo. I can feel the affects of the steriods already. All of the blood work results were positive. I am not dehydrated and the treatments are keeping the various blood cells within normal and almost normal range. It has really been a rainy day it was raining when we left at 7:45 am and raining when we just got home. Looks to have been pretty steady. Temps are cool. I have some thank yous to say from this weekend. Thanks to Memaw and Mr. Billy .Thanks Mom and Scott, thanks to Paula for the great faitias. The flavor was wonderful and I ate a lot (which is a fine thing). Thanks to Mark, Jennifer, Jeremy, and Isabella you are my crew. It was good to hear all your voices and listen to you all laugh. Thanks to Scott and Mark the latest veteniarians. Beauty is back to her old self.

My Daddy always told us, that in the end the people you will fall back on will be your family and some good friends. He sure was smart, because that is exactly what's happening.

Hey Patsy and Greg wish I could be with you an take a look at those falls. Thanks for including me in your vacation. Vallie and Terry thanks for the weekend update. Sounds like the Northern Hammetts had them a good time. And Vallie you are doing a lot, you always have. Deb, wish I could have seen the hail. I saw those great photos of your little man Griffen, what a hoss!!!! Them kids know how to make some good looking babies don't they. But we ain't partial are we!!!! The rest of our week is pretty much took up with chemo through Thursday, and a dental appointment thrown in.

The visits this weekend were a pick me up for both me and Robbi. Tonight we chow down on some Ham (Mom brought me) and macaroni and cheese. Now that is a supper!!
