Home from the Oregon Jamboree...we had a good time..as Linda described it "my (her) last hurrah"....Trisha Yearwood was the best...Lorri Morgan.....second best.
Tomorrow Linda's chemo starts at 8 am at the Bend Memorial Clinic...it is a total of 5 and a half hours because of the hydration needed after the chemical cocktail.The following 4 days will be an hour and a half and then the last day of the cycle again will be 5 and a half hours.
More than likely she will have to leave the Clinic tomorrow for the Hospital to do her radiation at 12:45 and then return to finish.The radiation session lasts an hour the first time and then much shorter after that first session.
I'm also doing my 7 week checkup on my rotator surgery tomorrow and if all is ok, I will begin weight strengthening....for another 7 weeks. The Orthopedic Center is in the middle of the Hosptial and the Clinic so we should have a great time running back and forth between buildings tomorrow.
Linda remains upbeat and ready to get on with it....she did get rest this last few days and her blood pressure has stabilized...which are important to her overall health. She is contuing to exhibit "reflux type" symptoms....so it will be nice to get her into the internist to get that figure out...she also has an appointment with the dematologist this week for a skin condition.....what a week it will be....

I will save the words of eloquence and wisdom for others, but I just want to say to you Linda: KICK ASS!!
Lots of Love. Straight Up. <3
My thoughts are with you always!
And so you begin...
Remember to breathe and always find the humor in every weird situation you encounter. It will help tremendously.
Wishing you strength as you get this ball rolling. Now you can count down the days until it's over and you can work on getting back to your normal self.
My love to you both, as always.
-Cheryl J.
