Is it Monday Yet?

A few folks were concerned that I didn't get a post up yesterday.  I guess I set the wrong expectations by blogging so much during the beginning.  I pretty much felt like shit the entire weekend, so I had to take a day off from posting.  The reality is, the post frequency may fall off quite a bit, I really don't know.  I'm not going to get into the gory details of all my discomfort as some of you are probably eating your morning bagel right about now.

But I will say this... with the exception of making two slow laps around the 8th floor yesterday morning with Doogie, I pretty much lay in bed all day and watched football.  Not having the package kinda sucks, but at least there were good games on in the morning (MIN/CHI, CIN/IND).  I was bummed I didn't get to watch the cowgirls, but STL/SF wound up being a great game.  Of course, tonight is the game that really matters.  Hopefully I'll feel up to having visitors.  The blood I got yesterday seems to be giving me a little more energy.  Charles and Tripp are tentatively scheduled to make an appearance.

The rest of my family had a much different (better?) Sunday.  We got one of those fluky days where it was really warm out -- even by the beach.  Tripp and Monique were kind enough to take Floyd for most of the day, and Auntie Na Na took baby-O.  Looks like everyone had a great time, and Heather got some time to deal with the new house, moving prep, etc.

Here are some pics from the beach.  Floyd and Evans looked like they had a blast.  Thanks for sending, Tripper





And here's one of sleeping O.  Thanks, Naomi!






So it's Monday.  My 7th day of chemo and the day we hopefully find out a little more about what lies ahead.  Let's hope for a good day.  Go Eagles!

I will kick its ass,

  10. Hi John it's good to see you posting. Words often fail under these circumstances so just know we're all behind you. I know few other people who bike UP the hills in San Francisco with their son riding merrily on the back. You've got real strength and that will see you through. Take care of yourself buddy.
