Round 7: Interim Update (Day 10)

I had every intention of posting an update a few days ago (mid round) but you can see how far I got. Just like returning my friend Cindy's email from last week - didn't do that either. Sorry about that.

This round has gone incredibly well. The first few days of the round were somewhat typical but still better than average. Other than the standard mouth film early on, followed by a few days of really bland tasting food, I have been doing great. I did get tired on Day 4, and late in the day my joints felt a lot like the the flu was setting in. A couple of Advil and a decent night of sleep and there were no other issues. I knew it was nothing more than being tired from a full day of work followed by sitting in a pool for a couple of hours watching Alison's high school swim team beat McDonogh - a great win for them!


PFT #5 is scheduled for Wednesday. Round 8 is on Friday and SeanP will be my date. My friend Rod also setup a dinner downtown in DC for Sunday (Jan. 20) and I'm looking forward to seeing some great friends at Carmines.


Last but certainly far from least, my best to Colleen and her sister-in-law Marie. I've known Colleen since the first week of college and last saw her at homecoming in 2011 where we were able to catch up. Her house was ravaged by Hurricane Sandy just before she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Marie got tested after Colleen and found out that she also had breast cancer. Colleen's starts chemo soon. My love to you both. Stay strong and keep the positive attitudes I know you both have.
