Monday Sept. 29th, 2008

Kind of a lost week-end. The naseus medicine must have a tranquilizer or sleeping componet because I spent the week end feeling like I wanted to nap---which I did. Went for a walk yesterday and managed 2 miles then late added another 1/2 mile. Bob and Colleen came over for lunch.
Went over to see the grandkids---Will, my son, participated in the Shawenee Barbecue contest this week-end. He won 3rd place for brisket and and placed 17 out of 102 teams. Pretty good for his 2nd contest. It is an awful low of work but he enjoys it. I felt bad that I have not been able to help, but fortunately his friends joined in and assisted---next contest is in Desoto next week. I dont know that I will be able to assist much it will depend on my white count. I will start back with my radiation today.
What do any of you know about the vegan diet? Bob and Colleen have been following it pretty rigourisly and it seems to be helping. We are going to talk to the people they have been using. One of the problems with my cancer is the weight loss that accompanies the treatment and the need to be in shape to withstand the surgery.
Nothing on the agenda today except, my little buddy pack and radiation. If I feel like it I will join some friends for lunch.
When my daughter graduated from college and was working full time she told her mother that this work sure took up a lot of your time---Kaye said that is why they call it "work". I might say the same about this disease---it sure takes up a hell of a lot of your time.
Well, I wish I had some wisdom or insight to share but as per usual no great insights other than have a nice day. It is raining here so I will have to delay my walk.
