    Hey Rob, thinking about you today and thankful for your presence on this board!

    I hope you stuff yourself silly on all kinds of yummy things while you enjoy being with all the good people (and doggies) in your life. :D

    last night I was "this close" to going to the ER :cry: . I ended up calling the on call doc and was still mulling the ER when my situation started to get better. all I could think was "I do NOT want to spend thanksgiving in the hospital" :x anyway, I'm pretty much good to go, but last night I was in as much pain as I've been at any time thru this whole thing.

    there's basically going to be four family names at dinner today...every one includes someone who is a survivor (lung, breast) or someone who has cancer right now (prostate and me). it boggles my mind. sadly, barring an absolute miracle, my sister-in-law's dad (prostate) will not be seeing another thanksgiving :cry: .

    but the great thing is the LOVE that's going to be at the table...the four families have been dealt the shitty card but have all rallied around and supported the folks with cancer....just like you guys do for me. That's what I'm thankful for!!

    Happy Thanksgiving, guys!! :mrgreen:

    I'll be headed off to relatives for the big day soon and will also be thankful for the family and friends as well as thinking of you and your indomitable spirit. I hope you have a great Thanksgiving and are able to enjoy the eats and drinks!

    Oh, and don't forget to bring Gracie back a little treat!

    funny thing is they have a dog but his wife makes damn sure that the dog acts nothing like a dog and when he's around the dog is to lie on his bed and do nothing else...last time norm was there he went on a marking spree which my brother just can't handle...he's wound a little tight :lol:

    ^ what they said.

    I hope that you had a nice Thanksgiving.

    Tough times...but if there is one thing that comes out of tough times is an appreciation for the special people in our lives. I hope that your family had a wonderful day together!

    hey, kelly :wave: . no recovery needed from thanksgiving....it rocked! I'm thinking of becoming a liquor drinker...the hangovers seem less than beer. speaking of which...it is bizarre that this chemo makes 99% of cold drinks taste like absolute crap...but beer still tastes OK :lol:

    I'm sitting here, a half hour into my two hour chemo drip. I had asked the doc if maybe I could get off the neulasta (a drug to increase my white blood cell count). He said "everyone wants off that drug....the answer is no." oh well...it just makes me VERY achy but I'll do whatever I need to do.

    not much to report....things are going good. today has turned into one of those "headlights on at noon days"...it's getting nasty out there....supposedly, the winds may hit 60 mph tonight. if so, we'll no doubt lose power since I seem to be on some sort of defective grid :roll: :lol:

    Hey Rob,

    Headlights on at noon days? Tell 'em to turn on the heat or wear a thicker shirt or sweater so no one notices you're turned on! :shock: Maybe I'll send you a heating pad? So, beer still tastes "okay?" Well, that's good news to the mad taper. If only the post office lady won't be such a crumrudgeon. With the holiday rush, now might be the time. And at least you're not off the grid and having to travel to the library to update us. Hang in there.

    Glad to hear you had an excellent Thanksgiving. Food, booze and friends and family. What could be better?

    Keeping you in my thoughts and sending you positive Chi!

    Peace.

    good lord....this new "super chemo" is no joke :shock: . the biggest side effect is the cold sensitivity, but I never REALLY experienced it....until today.

    It was 35 degrees this morning with probably a 40 mph wind (winds were 100 mph a little north of here and at least 7 semis tipped over on the interstate :shock: )....I took gracie to the park and immediately my face felt like it was being pierced by 100 needles and my hands (even with gloves) felt about the same. but, you know gracie....she needs her romp :lol:

    anyway, I don't know if today's thing was due to a) the wind chill or b) just the fact the chemo is accumulating in my system. right now, I'm on treatment #4 of 12. I'm getting there! :mrgreen:

    Hang in there Rob! Its probably a combination of the wind chill and chemo. Get yourself one of those skiing face mask thingys. Gracie needs her romp and you need the fresh air and sunshine.

    A THIRD of the way through. Awesome!

    Hang tough and stay warm!

    Peace.
