Today

No chemo today - bummer. His blood counts were too low. He said while we were sitting waiting for the blood results that he probably wouldn't get chemo because he was feeling too good and he was right. I know he was bummed but it is normal for almost anyone to only handle two weeks of chemo and then take a week off. So we see the doctor next week for the results of his scan and he will also have chemo as long as his counts are up.

He said he felt good yesterday - he even went fishing. Well he went out with a friend intending to fish but they just sat in lawn chairs and enjoyed the weather and just talked - he said it was really nice. But I am glad he was able to do it. He was actually in a pretty good mood today and I asked him why he was in such a good mood and he said "Well why be a grump" And you know he is right, you have to deal with the cards you are dealt and you have to make the best of it, so why go through life all grumpy and hating life and it makes me so happy and so proud that he is taking that approach to this whole situation. It would make it hard if he was laying around grumpy all of the time and just feeling sorry for himself. It is totally understandable if he does, but we are all going to go sometime as he says and we just have to live each day to its fullest because you never know if tomorrow will come.

So don't be a grump - live your life to the fullest and take each moment and make it a memory.

Much love to all,
