It was good to see and talk to some of you today. I have been able to stay out of bed all day and not get too worn out. I only wish I was taking in more calories. I am sure that will come with time. For those that are interested, I have decided to embark on my pre-chemo strength and endurance program in four ways. Exercise, massage, nutrition and acupuncture. Tomorrow is day one. I look forward to it all. Speaking of Day one, today is day one for Joanne Derrico (for those that know her) for her brand new hip. Good luck, Joanne.

The next three days are kind of med days for me. Home Health comes in tomorrow to draw blood, clean tubes, checkIV's and change dressings. I also hope to have my first acupunture visit. Wednesday we meet with the surgeon for a follow up and to see what else can be removed (tubes and such). Then Thursday is with the infectious disease doc to see if I have recovered from the infection I got when I decided to return to the hospital. Can't wait.

Be kind to your partner, be kind to you children and save some for me. good night.
