Since my last post, there's really not been much to report on. That alone is probably newsworthy as far as I'm concerned. I thought it amusing that when I went in for my blood test yesterday, the person in the lab asked me to go across the street for the blood draw, where Jen was working. Jen has always been able to get a blood sample on the first try. Sure enough, no problemo this week. BTW-my INR is 2.4 (should be between 2 and 3). That's the first time it's been in that range.
Radiation is going fine. I had to miss one yesterday because the radiation machine was being worked on. So that puts my last day on radiation at May 18.
I've been feeling really well lately, as I feel my stamina coming back. Outings at the gym have been more vigorous, even though these days I've got to be careful about the lymphedema. Physical therapy has been useful, in that I've been showed ways to manage the lymphedema for the rest of my life--manual lymphatic drainage, scar massage, and stretching techniques. I've been instructed on stuff like measuring my fingers, hand, and arm to track the lymphedema. Very funky.
I just recently got a nice webcam, and would like to invite you to skype. You download a little piece of software, set up an account, hook up your webcam, and you can make free video calls to other skype members. My username is evaskid. I'll be seeing you!
PS--the eyes are still watering!
