The Week In Review

Well, my first half of radiation treatment is behind me- all goes well in that department. It's not the most pleasant experience, but all in all- no real complaints. My throat is a little sore but nothing too terrible. I just hope it does its job and my side effects stay minimal.



I am feeling much more energetic now that chemo is done. It is really great to be able to do simple things like clean the house and go grocery shopping without feeling exhausted afterwards! So far I have been able to paint my bathroom and clean out some closets. I even went to Bunco! Very exciting I know--but believe me, don't take the little things for granted.

Pat started another cycle of chemo with a bit lower dosage this time. So far so good- he's just a little tired. The kids are all doing well. Derek is close to getting his braces off, Kelsey is busy with the school play, Kevin is having fun going to football games with a new bunch of friends and Meri is thrilled that one of her friends has moved back to our town and will be here for her birthday this weekend.

That's about all for now- we are looking forward to the weather hopefully cooling off a little bit now that autumn is here. A little bit of rain might be nice too- all the hurricanes missed us (thankfully!) and the grass is a little crunchy underfoot.
