Let's Catch Up

Hey fellow Bloggers.  It has been almost a week since I last updated the site. It was a long.....week for Dad and Mom. He stayed on the inside (hospital) until Friday night. It was late when they checked out, but he was determined to go home on Friday and not Saturday.  All went well in the administration of the second cycle treatment.
 I spoke with him on Saturday morning and guess where he was and what he was doing???  You got it!  Outside in his garden picking tomatoes! And I heard he picked one very large tomato!  OK, you know me, I ask the typical spoil all his fun questions...Dad do you have on sunscreen, a hat, and long sleeves? He assured me that he had not been out there long but he did have on a hat.
When I ask, How are you feeling today", he said the usual, "Oh, I feel fine." He actually sounded a little tired to me.  But again fatigue is to be expected after such a heavy dose of chemo.
I did not get to stay the week this time so I feel like I missed a lot.  I'm such the mother hen that some of his nurses even asked about my whereabouts.

Dad received his regular Neulasta shot this morning. Remember it is given to build white blood cells and is to be administered no sooner than 24 hours after the last dose of chemotherapy is given and more than 14 days before beginning the next chemotherapy cycle. He'll return to his oncologist for a check up on Wednesday of this week.

P.S.  I realize that some of the pics may seem random, but I try to pick those which make Dad smile when I show him the blog. (he usually wants me to print the picture if he doesn't have a copy of it)
