What a week it’s been. The history-making presidential election is over, and whether or not you liked the outcome, ya gotta admit it’s great to have all those nasty commercials off the air.
As for me, I’ve done with seven rounds of chemo, and my eighth will begin in three days.
The side effects are more persistent now; some of them last the entire two-week round. I guess the chemo is building up in my system. I still try to walk most days – 2 ¼ miles yesterday and a mile today – but some days I am too tired to get myself out the door.
Art is a good escape for me, although the weekly lesson (which only lasts an hour) wears me completely out because it requires undivided attention and focus, and my attention span is very short now.
My vision has been affected by the chemo, so I made an eye appointment for Wednesday. I will probably need to get a cheap (relatively speaking) pair of interim glasses to get me through the rest of chemo and the months afterwards as my body tries to return to normal.
Cliff and both kids are out of town this weekend. But they keep calling me. My balance isn’t so good these days, and I think they want to make sure I’m not lying in a heap at the bottom of the stairs! Not to worry; I try to be careful.
