Status

For those of you that are still following along here on the blog I’m sorry that I wasn’t able to post a status update until now. The delay really has been that it was a tough week all around. It was definitely a bit strange to be back in the chair and connected to IV’s. The treatment itself was fine but the aftermath while not completely horrendous was more than enough to knock me down pretty hard.

I had hoped to be up and around by Sunday and ready for a bike ride but for various reasons that was not a good idea and Amy and I opted for a leisurely stroll on the canal towpath In Princeton. Treatment #2 was yesterday and although it may seem odd to those unfamiliar with chemo I’m generally “OK” the day after treatment. That’s why I’m making sure to get this blog update done NOW because things typically take a downhill slide from here. I’m stubborn so once again I’m hoping that I’ll be able to get out this Sunday for a bike ride.

That’s about it from here. The chemo process and juggling EVERYTHING around that schedule has begun.

As a parting note I do have to make a plea for our 2012 LiveSTRONG campaign. You can read my comments in recent posts where we’re looking to recruit new team members to walk, run, or ride with our Mentschen team this year. And, of course, if logistics or schedule won’t work for you it would be terrific if you could consider a donation. Links for all of that are in my prior posts as well as via my LiveSTRONG link in the LINKS section on the right side of this blog. Response so far has been disappointingly slow. Please help to pump up the Mentschen… and ME by joining/donating. THANKS!
