TMI

My God, I have passed another milestone. For the first time in 8 months I have had to clip the hair out of my nose! Yes, I was surprised, also. My wife and others report that my hair is filling in the places on my head that used to be sparse. It is certainly growing in fast, and is unruly in the way it seems to go. Maybe another pic is warranted. I have also noticed that I have horizontal grooves on each of my nails, the numbers and spacings of which appear to correspond to each infusion cycle. So the poison seems to also kill nail tissue.  Not much change in stamina, or in leg strength, or in neuropathy, but I have gotten a couple yard tasks accomplished, and I did manage the boat ramp at Lake Powell last week. At the beginning of each of three walks up that ramp, my knees would predictably buckle, occasionally joined by a hip. But it just seemed to be a matter of shortening my stride and slowing a little and the journey was made without further ado. (On the 3rd day, about 2/3s of the way up, I was offered, and accepted, a ride.)

By the way, fishing was not bad. It seemed to get better each day there and I brought home enough walleye and small mouth bass to make a good batch of ceviche. Now preparing for my second excursion there in the middle of next week.
