I'm getting ready to head over to the hospital for a quick check-up. Everything appears to be going properly, although my doctor is monitoring my liver. Apparently my liver functions have been really high, but that could just be due to the chemo... or the martinis =)
I kid!
My chemo does appear to be working though, since I'm definitely feeling more pooped.
There's a memorial scheduled for today for Bill Walsh, the former 49ers and Stanford football coach who died of leukemia last week. He was actually in the room next to me during my first stint in the hospital. My mom had offered his sister some of my birthday cake, and he thanked my dad when he was leaving. I'm pretty sure he was back in the hospital during my second stay, since "Gatsby" was listed on the patient name board -- his pseudonym for privacy.
start getting excited for Sunday... Chicago Distance Classic!
ok, I'm off to the hoppytail!
love,

Sorry to hear about Coach Walsh, but as you know the disease is a lot harder to beat when you are in your 70s and 80s.
Also, I did the drawing for the 24 Hours of Booty engraved iPod and the winners were Oliver and Catherine Nicklin. Congrats to them!
Good luck with your continued push!
