Preston, Internet Friends, Book Club and Med Stuff....

Preston was running on the gravel drive from his house to the gate and had a bad fall. Loyce had to take him to the ER. He busted his chin, cut the inside of his mouth and scratched his knee pretty bad. They glued his chin together as it wasn't bad enough for stitches. They got home around 11 pm and he was up bright and early wanting to go to school. He said he needed to tell his teacher what happened. He was probably the star in PreK today. LOL

Not much has been going on in my life. About 1 1/2 weeks ago I twisted my ankle really bad. My foot was turned in such an abnormal way that I was sure I had broke something. After sitting on the floor for a few minutes I realized I could move my foot and then could put some weight on it. So I did the things you are supposed to do - elevation, ice and rest. It was better the next morning so I saw no reason to go to another doctor. Then a day later the chemo finally caught up with me and the fatigue hit. So I've spent the past week with no energy and a faint limp. (sigh)

Yesterday some of my internet friends met at the City Market in Luling and I had planned to go but just didn't feel like getting ready and driving there. I wish I would have pushed myself to go. (another sigh)

Last night was book club night and I almost didn't go to it, but I did make myself get ready and go. We discussed Goodnight Nobody by Jennifer Weiner. I really enjoyed the book.

Dr Report: I had my 6th chemo treatment today. My blood work was great but weight wasn't. I had lost 4 lbs the time before and this time it was 6 more. So now I'm down to 106 lb. I'm going to work hard to gain some before my next treatment. I plan to start taking the Megace (appetite enhancer) again.

I know this entry sounds a little depressing, but actually life is good and I'm happy...just tired.
