This morning I have not been very motivated to do a lot. Although, Katie and I did make a trip down to the solorium.
The pharmacist finally caught up with us this morning. She gave us the low down on the side effects of the drugs that I am taking and let us know to keep them informed about the nauseua so that they can continue to prescribe the right meds to combat the nausea. She also told me that I will not have an appetite for quite sometime and that there isn't too much for that.
The afternoon was fairly quiet. I did take a nap or two during an episode or two of the Family Guy.
Katie left around 4pm to go to get some work done at home and to go let off some steam playing soccer for later that evening.
Matt Vargas stopped by last night and spent the night. When he arrived, we went for a little walk outside where it was pretty cold. After a short stint outside, we came back in and roamed the halls a little further. We made our way down to the Solarium at the end of my floor. I didn't want to go too far from the room because Kim and Steve were making their way down to see me as well. They did make it down. I found them by peeking my head out of the Solarlium door and they just happened to be hanging out there. Steve brought in the pizza for all of us to eat. It looked real good but I just had no desire to eat it.
After just watching the view of downtown Denver and the clouds rolling in, I looked at the clock and noticed that it was probably time to head back to my room for the day's toxins. When we strolled back to the room, the nurses were waiting for me to start the evening's treatment. It didn't take long for them to drug me up and knock me out. I was a having a conversation with Matt, Kim and Steve and before I know it, I was pretty much out cold.

It's difficult seeing the little kid I knew on Kennyfield Dr. battling...but my memories of you recall a kid who was as tough as nails...I remember you taking a pillow hit from your older brothers like no one I'd seen before! Don't worry, I always got them back for you. Brian and Russ, punks.
Russ tells me this is round three with TC, but the prognosis looks good. Certainly wish I was saying hello after all these years under better circumstances...but wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and I wish you a speedy and FULL recovery.
Folks will be saying prayers for ya here in Iowa! Keep blogging!
