Holly and I just got back from a walk up the big hill we usually run. I can't run yet but I am regaining my strength and endurance enough to walk many of the things that we usually run. When I get frustrated at walking instead of running, I remind myself that I had a week of CONTINUOUS chemo, I still have pneumonia, and my hemoglobin is only 10. Still I would love to be running and enjoying all the usual physical activities I used to do. In time, I feel sure.
I am sitting on our back porch looking at the overgrown garden as Holly pulls weeds and tries to neaten it up a bit. It is a gargantuan task, one that would take more than 1 w-e. But I know she will get the big bad stuff lopped back or pulled up. Nice to have a partner who will support your garden habit as well as help you through chemo. :-)
Not much else to say this morning. It is gorgeous here-cool (62F) with low humidity. The birds are out chirping and zooming and eating from the feeders. The cardinals here are molting and look a little funny. Everybody else looks pretty much the same.

I am so happy you made it back up the hill for a bit. I'm sorry I can't catch up with you, but I am sure you and Holly needed some down time together.
I would offer to help weed your garden...except I am a horrific gardener. I do know a couple of hispanic guys who are starting up a landscaping business that have done some work for my folks and would love to have more business. Let me know if you want to get in touch with them.
Went walking today, played tennis and took the boys on inflatable kayaks on my folks' river. Then had Dr.Blair's Tribute thing tonight at Mt. Zion. It was very moving---he looks really great right now.
And, great news on your BM bx. Do you have a schedule yet for second round or are they waiting for your chest to clear up? Have a safe trip down the hill. I'll be at south tomorrow working 8-7---I'd say to swing by but it's total germ warfare right now between an outbreak of Coxsackie virus in the hispanic community, CAP in the old white folks and an unusual amount of strep.
