Saturday saw my first experience with chemotherapy-induced nausea. It wasn't too bad and I took my anti-nausea drugs as recommended. But, it did lay me low enough that I had to sleep almost all day and night. I also had no appetite whatsoever, something reflected on the scales this morning.
Thank goodness for the US Open and the FIFA world cup games. When I was awake, I could catch a little from my vantage point in the recliner in the family room. Unfortunately, I was too tired to catch the 4-0 romp of the Edmonton Oilers over the Caroline Hurricane at night. There really is so little on TV that I am grateful for the sporting events.
Today is Father's Day and I am feeling much better. The heat and humidity are tough, though. My wife and I went for an abbreviated walk this afternoon, but I was amazed at how little resilience I had after a day of resting. It will take time for me to build up a reservoir of strength and endurance.

Been following your progress from the sidelines. As you know day care germs from K prevent us from visiting and don't want to interupt or drain you with yet another phone call. M and I watched a VERY interesting movie/documentary "What The Bleep Do We Know". So interesting was the material that M ordered it, should have it soon. Think that you would be interested if you have not already seen it - based on your previous blog entry. Can potentially drop it off to you if you would like.
Love you,
A
Hi, A. I'm looking forward to the reunion to see you, M, and K again.
I purchased that movie. Evidently, a sequel will be released this summer.
Hope all is well with you. I heard you and K were under the weather. Take care.
Love,
Don
