Yes indeedy after 2 days of rowing, I felt ready to run (I haven't run in 6 weeks or more). Well I would call it more of a lumbering jog but it was definitely faster than the walks I have been taking. More strenuous too. It felt good some of the time. Tough some of the time. But I am on to bigger and better things while I have the chance. I'll keep doing this aerobic stuff until I have to go into the hospital for chemo again next week. My former radiation oncology doctor said that energy begets energy, and it's true. Maybe the fitness work will help me get over the weakness from chemo faster.
Tomorrow I have my chest CT to check on the pneumonia. My sister Becky arrives from Atlanta (on friday) for 12 days just in time to babysit me in the hospital. Then next week I see my doctor and go into the hospital for 5 days of high dose chemo. It'll probably be just like smashing that blast/leukemia cell pinata, easy and fun. Yeah right.

Tree and Holly, Have a great rest of the week doing fun things and enjoying being together. I like that proposition: energy begets energy. Seems like rest is also more restorative when it follows physical energy expenditure. Glad you like the pinata party. Sounds like the beach was a good break for everyone.
Hasta luego El Skippito Friskito and Zippy.
Love, Julia
Dear Tree,
Glad we got to celebrate your birthday with you. Your beach trip sounds wonderful (and the shrimp do too). Glad y'all are getting some good time together before round 2 and that you're enjoying a surge of energy.
I saw a commercial tonight that REALLY made me laugh: an avalanche is roaring down the mountain and straight toward a tiny cabin with a red cross on the door. The avalanche roars, gaining speed. Then the door slowly opens and out skips Quigley (!) wearing a cute little rescue barrel on his neck.
Yep, it was an add for Mighty Dog dog food.
However do you find the time to fly little Quigley out to Hollywood for these things??????
It's rough with my schedule, her schedule and all. but we manage for all of her fans of course. Quigley likes to keep busy too.
