Bret actually made it to his River home last night at about 8PM.   He said it was just clear sailing and conditions were perfect.   So glad he was here.   I miss him but we will not let so much time pass again before seeing each other one way or another.

Richard and Brenda called last night.   So good to talk to them, they always cheer me up.

Had a rather rough morning.  Still not throwing up but I don't feel well in the mornings.   I took the nausea pills and just rested.   Things were much better by afternoon again.    We'll see how tomorrow goes.   Sure glad that I don't have any responsibilities but me and Nicky.

We are still warm but it is supposed to cool down next week.   Of course, then I will be on my way to Wales.   Yea.   Please cross your fingers that I keep doing well.   At this point, I feel confident that though I will have to not be my usual do EVERYTHING NOW self, I will be able to really enjoy the trip.    Perhaps I will even see more than I usually do:)

Bret left in the wee hours of the morning today.   I will miss him.  So blessed to have my him here and have him be able to spend time with his brother - the three of us together.

I can't begin to tell you how proud I am of my boys.

Hopefully the next time Bret comes we can "vacation" and see some of the wonderful things Oklahoma has to offer.  I hope he can bring his Janet.

I have come through the second Chemo pretty well.  Felt kind of goofy this morning but took the nausea pills and slept most of the morning.   I am hanging in there.   I have a whole week to get my strength back before the Wales tour.   I will be just fine.   I don't have to take care of anybody but me and Nicky.  That is manageable.

Sorry I haven't posted, but my Bret has been here since Saturday and I have been just enjoying being with him amid the big C stuff.

He was here with me for my second Chemo yesterday.   People are right.  It  is stronger.   I have not been REALLY nauseated but don't feel great either.   The morning was rather rough.  They say the second day is worse.   I hope they are wrong.   But at any rate, I am OK.   And only one more (scheduled Chemo) anyway.   The radiation will start right after the last chemo in early October.   I will have 30   (ICH) 30 radiation treatments - every day except weekends in a row.  Then they will reevaluate.  

Oh well.   I'll just have to beat this thing and I will have my England/Wales trip to muse on during those 30 days.

Thank you all for the good vibes.  I promise to be better about posting but having Bret here and seeing my boys together has been a real joy for me.   I feel truly blessed.    And having all of you in back of me is priceless.

Love you
