First week ALMOST done

Friday's been much better up until the last couple of hours. Pretty consistent feedback from everyone around -- "You look/sound so much better today". Just started getting the heartburn and a bit of nausea again this afternoon. Not sure what's up with that.

We're supposed to be going to dinner tonight with Jen's family. Not sure if that's going to happen for me or not. We'll see how the next hour or two go. They're going to Carrabba's, which I love, but I'd not be able to eat my normal fair -- Fried Calamari and some chicken dish that's loaded with cheese -- so I may be better off just skipping. Thought they do have pretty dang darn good bread and I should be able to get some of that down OK.

Gotta go for my 5:00 radiation treatment here in a few minutes, take a pill tonight then go tomorrow morning to get this D*%# pump removed. Then I'll officially have my first of five treatment weeks done. Talking to a couple of guys who are doing the same treatment I'm doing but are a few cycles further along, the week off is actually worse than the week on. So, who knows what to expect for next week. I've quit trying to anticipate and I'll just take it as it comes.

Cliff: I am sorry to hear this first week has been rough on you. Remember to take it easy and don't overdo it. Use this time to focus on getting better!
