Day -2

       I am in my room and all hooked up. So far I am only getting saline but any time now they will be in with the good stuff. I have been posting from my desktop computer but am on my tablet now so expect some typos.

       Outside it's snowing pretty good. We are expecting I think 6-8 inches before turning to rain. Kathy is staying about 1-2 miles from here. It is a house owned by a church and they don't charge people who travel over 50 miles to get here. Kathy says she is the only one there so far.

        As I was writing this the nurse came in a started pumping the hi-test stuff. No ethanol for me. Just 100% pure premium! Now we will see how long before this stuff starts doing its thing. For those with a medical background the drugs they are giving me are Melphalan & Ondansetron. The first drug is to make me sick. That's the chemo. The second is to keep me from getting sick.

         On an unrelated note I got to watch the new Walking Dead on my tablet today. I was pleased to see Eugene survived as I had heard he didn't make it. That's it for today so far. If anything else comes up I will let you know. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers. This isn't going to be fun but as a few of you have already told me, I got this!

Have a good day!

Well it is almost 11pm. Time for me to get to bed. So far I am doing well. Not sure exactly when but I finish this high dose chemo some time tomorrow. Don't think that means I am out of the woods yet by any means but I will take it as a sign I am tolerating it well so far.
