Felt like I was at 95%. Huge difference from last Thursday.  I can feel the next few days before my next chemo are going to be good. My body’s telling me I’ll be feeling fine.

Oversaw the delivery of the cabinets for the kitchen remodel I’ve been working on for my dear, sweet clients Jennifer and Craig.  Jennifer is the mother of a two-year old and newborn twins as of December. She thought it would be a good idea to stay with her parents in Minnesota while I remodeled their kitchen. This started in the middle of December. Fortunately I was done with all the heavy construction when the pain peaked. I actually got the call that they thought I had pancreatitis while I was sweeping up the last of the construction debris.

Fortunately, since the hospital stay and starting chemo, I’ve only had to oversee painters, tilers, and sheetrock workers, and not actually do any labor myself. I say fortunately because I’ve lost about 60% of my muscle mass. So on Monday I found myself driving a truckload of cabinetry over to the jobsite with my friend Tim and my brother Jimmy.  They did the lifting and I told them where to put them inside.

Which brings me to my next point. I’ve added a “Gratitude” button to try in some small way to express my thanks to everyone who’s been there for me, reached out to me, and supported me through this tough time. The list is incomplete and growing. Please take a minute to check it out.

Third chemo on Thursday.
