getting better

Weight = 230 lbs

Well, I think my strength is improving little by little. I have lost a little weight, probably just due to increased activity levels more than anything else. (At one unreported time a few weeks ago, I was 235!). I have been regular on the exer-cycle and with the weights. Doing about 20 min regularly on the former and a full hour of lifts and stretches on the latter. I think I am less likely to nap now in the afternoon, particularly if there is an activity I am involved in.  (However, when I thought about writing of this yesterday, I soon found myself napping!) I am sleeping a full 8 hours a night with a single interruption, but still may nap. Yesterday I spent about an hour on my hands and knees vacuuming out my boat--yes, it is that time of year--and I think that activity tired me more than I thought it would. But, I am now able to contemplate such activities. That's a gain.

Dare I say it? There is still some neuropathy in hands and legs and ankles and feet. I can especially feel it today in my hands given my physical activity from yesterday. But it may have receded a little. Hope springs eternal.

Wednesday I get my second port flush to keep that device open and usable.  Since the flush happens every six weeks, this means I am about half way to my next chemo. Oh joy.
