Crash Avoided!

Wednesday, July 20

Admittedly, I’ve been procrastinating this post, so as not to tempt Murphy. I wanted to wait sufficiently long to verify that I have indeed avoided the post chemo crash.

Laurie and I returned last night from a marvelously relaxing long weekend in Manzanita. This morning, I went grocery shopping and did NOT experience that dreaded melt down – the true test! Presently, I’m feeling GREAT and am psyched for the next two weeks. Avoided!

For all of those out there in Mike’s blog land wanting to know how the crash was avoided, I offer the same reply I do whenever my brother Rich asks about the whys of cancer treatment. Namely, “I simply don’t know”. There are so many variables, so many super powerful drugs and so much pooled positive energy coming my way, that I simply ignore the why and revel in the joy of the circumstance.

That said, Laurie has her opinion. She says that I had successfully yielded. I had embraced minimal physical exertion over the first five days after the chemo treatment. Additionally she suggests the more prudent use of an optional post chemo medication worked wonders.

So there we have it……………Running strong Post chemo #5.

Dare I say, “Take that weak stuff home – Bring on #6?”
