Chemo today

Dad got rave reviews for his blood work today...his white blood cell count and his hemoglobin "couldn't be better" according to the doctor! So he definitely was ready and strong for today. The other good news is that they don't need to do blood work for the next 3 days like they did the last time. And all he needs to do from now on is come here once a week to have the dressing changed (at the picc line site) and have blood work done...he doesn't have to see the doctor again...at least until the chemo sessions are done. Other than that, he comes in every 3 weeks for the chemo. He does have to come in tomorrow for that shot that stimulates the white blood cell count. He is currently getting the chemo right now and doing fine. He has slept most of the morning because of the benadryl they gave him...that stuff really knocks him out! So while he was napping, I changed into my running clothes and walked around Holmes Lake which is right across the street...I did a 2 mile hike so got that in for the day. The only mishap of the morning was when I emerged from the restroom and walked through the chemo ward...and then discovered I had my running pants on inside out! And I thought I was stylin'!! Then about half way through my walk, I discovered the tag of my shirt was sticking out (usually Leo finds these and tucks them in!)...the good part is that the tag says "MED"...so that's alright with me if it's sticking out! Sara recently came over on her extended lunch break and is visiting with Dad. They both are eating their lunch. Dad's hair is still coming out...he says he's shedding worse than the cat at work! We'll be buzzing it either tonight or tomorrow. So that's it from here...Dad is feeling and doing great!
