The Treatment Plan

For the cancer I've got there is a specific treatment plan. I do this and the odds are 90% I will never see this cancer again. Here's what will take place:
Radiation: There will be approximately 33 radiation treatments aimed at my pelvic area. They began July 5 and will conclude at approximately August 18th.
Reaction: First third: No issues. Second third: Discomfort. Final third: Increasing discomfort, culminating in 'brutal'.
Chemotherapy: There will be two courses of treatment. The first was started on July 5. The second will begin August 1st.
Reaction: First course produced nasty mouth sores, an overall sludgey feeling and 'chemo brain'. At least I know what to expect for the second course, and can make some plans.

I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

Wilt

Tired - a bit wilted, as it were.
The flowers from work are doing better than I am, although they are showing early signs of wilt.
I'm not walkin' as fast.
Still choosing the stairs though!
Restin' and sleepin'
Doin' a puzzle or two.
Watchin' part of a ball game. Darwin Barney, Murray Hill LL Alum, plays second base for the Chicago Cubs. Saw one at bat. He struck out. Looking.
Ready for bed.
Zzzz

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3:5-6
