My chemotherapy is going a lot better than I thought it would. After all of the chemo I mentioned earlier, I have not had any nausea. My biggest problme has been the constant need to urinate due to all the fluids, IVs and Lasix. Then with the ATG (horse serum), they had to monitor me almost continuously the first couple of hours. When I had to rush to the bathroom, I was tangled up in all the blood pressure, finger cuff and temperature lines. I finally just got a couple of extra urinals to keep by the bed so I did not need to get disconnected and reconnected each time. I am still getting a slow dose of ATG, but the next one at 11 pm will be speeded up since I have tolerated that as well. Now just waiting for my hair to fall out.
My wife said the picture that I posted last time was pretty grim, so I have attached a better one. I really am in good spirits. This picture was from from last using the Mac PhotoBooth distortion capability.

Hi Joel,
Good to hear that as of last night, you weren't nauseated. When I saw your picture, I thought "The chemo did it!!!" Glad to see you still have a sense of humor. That will help in your recovery. I will be calling you soon. My love to you and Marilyn and the family.
Love and prayers,
Charlotte
