Delayed

Went for my chemo treatment yesterday and because I had a slight fever (100.3) the treatment was postponed until next Tuesday. I was given an antibiotic (Levaquin again) to take for the next 10 days and I got a chest x-ray.

Thanks to the transfusion my blood tests looked much better than the last time.

Last weekend was something special. Nathan, Tina and the kids came here from NC on Friday and stayed until Sunday afternoon. It was Tina's idea that they come and see me while I was still in good shape and before my last treatment. Nathan invited his siblings to join him for the weekend. Mary, who is in Florida, couldn't come. Matthew had to bow out at the last minute because Joe came down with a rotavirus. The Dr. advised that I not be in contact with anybody from that household.

Nathan and Todd prepared the Saturday meal that consisted of homemade ravioli, homemade sausage and homemade sauce. Tina's mom, Natalie, also sent over 2 cakes, a pie and 2 trays of lasagna. When I was weighed in yesterday I had gained 2 lbs from the previous week. I consider myself a lucky guy.
