It's Got to be the Morning After

Had treatment yesterday and all went well. I even got some sleep last night . Seems this Taxotrene doesn't' AMP me up as bad as the Taxol. I did get some needle pricks in my left foot last night but it is not numb this morning so that's nice. We will see what the next couple days bring. I don't feel near as bloated either. That may be because I only took 5 of my steroid pills the night before treatment and forgot the 5 in the morning. I didn't have any adverse reaction to the meds so ever though they told me to take the other 5 when I got home I didn't I knew I was OK . I am going to keep to that plan since it works and maybe some of this weight will at least stop adding to the problem. My blood sugar was high as was my blood pressure. Makes me crazy as it is medication induced and I can't really control it. Hang in there only 4 more treatments and we move on. I CAN DO IT.

Cliff is still busy working on the house and the girls have been hanging out. I have appointment for Tony and Alecia to have their pictures taken on Friday for my music room wall. All the kids are on there with whatever instrument they play or a microphone if they are our singers. It is almost done and looks really good. We are hanging guitars and Charlee's violin (if I can have her find it) on the walls along with some pictures of Patsy Cline, The Grand Ole Opry, Hank Williams. It all about the things we love in that room. We have the PA system set up in there with a cheap mic so the kids can sing karaoke when ever they want. Gordy will take the mic stand and "do one of her shows" which means she closes her eyes and just makes all kind of expression on her face like she is just wailing away on a song but not a sound comes out of her mouth. It is so funny.

I want to finish staining my front door today so I hope the weather cooperates. We may go to St George and get the last two doors that Cliff needs for the addition. He stood in the dining room and looked around and commented how good everything is starting to look. It is really coming together now. He has all the framing done in the addition and now we start on electrical and HVAC. The HAVC should only take a day and electrical maybe 2 or 3. The problem is we are at the mercy of friends who have agreed to help. So we wait on their schedule. That's OK as we just appreciate their help. Everyone has been so good to help us. Also I need to get serious about picking out paint for the house. That has to be done soon.
