OK, we'll get this right out of the way up front. Blue Springs H.S. -- ranked #1 in the state and #43 in the nation, got their butts kicked by Blue Springs South. Mizzou got their butts kicked by Texas -- no comments from any of you current Texas residents who moved there from Missouri -- and the Chiefs are in process getting their butts kicked. So, we're 0-3 in games of interest here at the Robinson household.
Fortunately we're not sports fans.
Separate from the Gridiron, though, I've had a relatively good weekend all things considered. I've pretty much given up on eating things that require chewing. But Jen and Pat have been exercising the blender quite a little bit -- blending up my soups before I eat and dreaming up variations of smoothies and shakes. I did have some grapes -- unblended -- with my lunch today. Kinda-sorta chewing and it worked OK. But bottom line, my mouth is still pretty sore and pretty gross looking.
My right shoulder (Surgery Shoulder) is making daily progress. Still a month or so away -- if this continues -- from anything approaching normal but it's making progress.
And, my left arm/neck problem is still hanging around but hasn't had any more of severe flare-ups like I did late last week. The numbness is still there, a deep ache is always there but manageable, and I get occasional short term flare-ups, but just for a few seconds, not hours. Not sure if it's the Lyrica, some other drug or if it's just getting better.
Sleeping's still been on-again/off-again. Thursday night was good, Friday night was only about 3 hours long, then last night I got in bits and pieces that added up to seven or eight hours but there were several interruptions. I'm always tired. And I don't know if that's because of the cancer, the drugs, the lack of sleep or all of the above.
But all in all, not feeling terrible and we're gearing up for my next week of treatment. I started tacking the Heartburn medication yesterday and I'm starting the anti-nausea medicine today. And Jenny bought me a second Sunday-thru-Saturday pill dispensor so I can have one for morning and one for evening.
Damn I'm cool!!
The dogs are all getting along well now. Petrie and Trampus (Pat's dog) wrestle incessantly and Woody referees and, otherwise, ignores them.
Back to the routine tomorrow. Chemo, Radiation, etc., etc. Pat's got her driving gloves on.

"Fortunately we're not sports fans."
That's too bad. Cause I am. And I watched the Texas v. Mizzou game. But since you asked me not to comment on how bad we spanked you guys, I won't. I respect that.
Or, Cliff could retaliate by commenting on Bungee's almamater's standings...UNT has won how many games??
Rock on Blender Boy!
Remind me Bungee, how many semesters did you attend Texas? I can't remember. I know if I happened to live in Missouri, for example, but attended college at, say, another state school but not the University of Missouri, I would probably still be a Tiger fan and would follow them closely, but I don't think I'd feel I was in a position to talk smack on their behalf. Now, if you want to discuss the 0-7 Mean Green squad that has lost those 7 games by a cumulative 237 points (34/game avg), that's different. I'm listening. :)
