Greetings, gang.
Cloudy, humid, and warm this morning at 70 degrees. Chances of rain run from now through next Thursday.
Yesterday I got the yard mowed and trimmed, hauled the yard waste away, and went for a bike ride. Today's agenda will include a trip to Menards and Sears.
My Fair Lady seems to be doing well today. We had chemo on Tuesday. On Wednesday she still felt pretty good due to the steroids that are given during chemo. By Thursday they had worn off and she had a pretty rough day. She bounced back yesterday but was still very weak. Today is better still. On our last visit with the doctor he said that the liver sac had definitely decreased in size which means the cancer cells are dying off. Our next chemo is on June 17th but it's gong to be a long day because before the chemo we are scheduled for a CT scan. The should give us a better progress report than a statement from the doctor saying that the liver sac feels smaller. The doctor's office gave us the dyes she needs to drink before the CT scan so My Fair Lady will have to start them on her own. Since some of the side effects can be rather messy (nausea and diarrhea) we'll be getting a motel room in Ames the night before.
I still need to get out to repair the track on the outdoor layout. Some of the tie strips broke (probably form large animals (deer) walking on them.) Fortunately it is right near a rail joint so it should be easy to fix.
All stay safe.
Tom
