Life Is Like a Box of Chocolates...

...you never know what you're going to get. That was yesterday. Tuesday I felt OK. Then Tuesday night I started getting this weird pulsing in my upper body. You know how the blood rushes to your head when you get up too quickly, well, this was like blood rushing to my whole torso. It was extremely painful and happened when I sat up and layed down. My back muscles cramped and it was just awful. That happened off and on all night and into the day. I didn't get up until 3:30 yesterday.

Today I feel fine, met a couple friends for lunch and meeting another shortly for coffee. I will definitely talk to the PA about it tomorrow when I go in for chemo.

So, thankfully my friends are gracious about my having to sometimes cancel plans at the last minute. I had planned to play pool, but wasn't up to it so I will have several make-up games to play next week. It makes things interesting for sure.

It has been about a year since we lost our dog Molly which was the harbinger of this whole cancer journey. I am still here. I am so grateful.
