Though I haven't rebounded in leaps and bounds yet, I am starting to emerge from the last chemo and its fatigue effect. I am not jumping up and down or zipping around yet, but I am starting to have a bit more energy. I am still sleeping 9 or 10 hours at night, but I haven't had a nap since Monday. And yesterday I was able to do a slightly longer walk in the afternoon in addition to my rowing workout. I didn't get the chance to workout before coming here to the clinic today because I overslept by 40 mins. Usually I have time to sip some tea while watching the birds and then to do a workout before heading to the clinic. I'll do my workout when I get home this morning. I don't expect my counts to fall so fast that I need anything today. It's usually the w-e before I need blood or platelets. But you just never know...
Still sitting in my Duke blue recliner waiting for my counts to come back. It was crazy in here Tuesday with people all over the place, and 6 folks getting hooked up to the stem cell machines. It is lots more sane in here today with many empty chairs. Calmer by far. I like that.

Hi Teresa,
Sorry to be out of touch lately. I hope that we'll be able to catch up over Thanksgiving. Glad you are wrapping up your treatments there! I'll try to put together a celebration cd for you! Are you excited about basketball season! See you soon. liza
Yup, excited and watching more football (NFL and college) than usual. I love your CD's! When I need energy I put on the last one you made that starts out with the Wonder Woman song. That is so inspirational to me. Thanks for that! Hope that you and Beth will be around at Thanksgiving. We'd love to see you.-teresa
