Wednesday Evening...February 6th, 2008

A "surge" in the works....."no" not in Irag....in the Wood household........

Linda has a bit if a "surge" in terms of feeling better today..a "surge" is more than a "bit" but more needed. She is still experiencing weakness when she tries to do something...she feels if her heart rate can be controlled...it is much of the problem...but we remember a lot of this heart rate stuff is "chemo" related.

We took a trip to the "eye doctor" today...he said the eyeballs continue to be "chapped" by the chemo....he inserted something into each eye which is supposed to have each eye retain more tears and thereby keep the eyeball moist...this last 5-7 days..he was excited to hear she was heading to Florida where the climate is more humid..thereby assisting the eyes......she also has some new medication to put in at night and uses eye drops multiple times per day.

That's about it..we spent a lot of the day running around doing business as we are gone next week....tonight it was off to bed early for two tired "Woodses". Tomorrow "no where we have to go"....great!

No where but "UP" now.....and a wonderful trip "down" to Florida! Looks like even your eyes will benefit!
John and I are getting bundled up to do a winter wonderland walk. We have to put fancy names on exercise to make it an adventure. Have a great day!

Keep in mind each "surge" should last longer and longer..Don't try to do too much when you do feel well..now is the time to bank a little energy so you can feel great when you go to Flordia...
Just want to repeat myself when I say you two have my admiration and support for life...Keep looking forward, never back, on this ordeal....love you...
