Back in the chair of death today. Feels like I was just here. Hard to believe 2 weeks(well 11 days)have gone by. Didn't get to see the stinky Dr. today, but we did meet some little Oriental lady doing her residency with Dr. Kim. Anyway, they drew some blood, and the Dr.'s told us that my counts were borderline. Bogus. One treatment in, and my counts are already low. They are worried that I will get a fever because the white counts are so far down. Dr. Kim is also worried that I will start coughing up blood. Either scenario is not good (obviously), and they said that I have to go to the ER immediately if these things happen.

Glad I didn't see the stinky Dr. today. I don't need any help with nausea.

Sunday, I painted the closet area upstairs. Wendy has wanted this done for some time. Hopefully, once we get the bathroom tiled, she'll be comfortable there for a long time. We both took showers in the early evening, and watched "The Hangover". Good stuff. We laughed.

Mr. Knox woke me up about 5:00 on Monday and took a little over an hour to go back to sleep. Monday night, my Dad, Wendy, and DB and I went to the Kent State basketball game. It was a blow-out.

Back at basecamp, my parents and I watched "The Hangover". I sat through it again, and it was just as funny the second time. Wendy said she was going shopping, although I really knew that she was going over to Rosie's to clean. My parents were thrilled. Wendy is so sweet and thoughtful. She makes me proud to be her husband.

I guess that takes me to today. I need these treatments to go quickly. They gave me my pre-meds already, and have added a couple of prescription nausea meds...so hopefully this won't be as bad as last time. Last treatment I was sick for three days...I never threw up so much. If I knew treatment was working, I think I would have an easier time dealing. But, going through all of this for a slight maybe really sucks. Perhaps one day we will allow for things like genetic research that would mean all the difference in patients that have an error in DNA coding.

Oh well. It was a good weekend. Coop and Knox keep me busy, and that is what I need most right now...their love.

Smile, today could be your last.
