OK, y'all! I had my second chemo visit on Friday. My good friend, old coworker, KI Live co-star, and all-around amazing person, Leala Turkey, gave me a super awesome chemo buddy to take with me. I also had a warm blanket with me from my extremely kind high school friends, Alisa and Layne.
While I was there, I had a great talk with my social worker, Sean, and signed up for some music therapy while I was at it. Kudos to Huntsman for putting a kind, human touch on a situation you don't want to find yourself in.
After chemo, I was able to chat with my musical ally, Adam Terry, at his record shop downtown in SLC. Make sure you drop by Fountain Records and support his local business.
Today I got a great deal and used some birthday money sent to me by family members to purchase a Ghosts and Goblins 1up machine for the Goblin house. I just need to get new sticker art to theme it, and it'll be good to go. MORE GOBLINS FOR THE GOBLIN HOUSE! (Side note: Huh, I don't know if I ever talked about how we came to call our new house the goblin house . . . I may need to post about that)
The birthday biopsy went well ... other than spending 6 hours in the hospital and, unfortunately, losing my wedding band. That said, It was great to go to the spaghetti factory afterwards and keep the new, old birthday tradition alive with the Uber Wife and two of my sons.
Oh yeah, also, it appears my pain meds are working so well that I didn't double over in pain after passing a kidney stone a week ago. Go figure, I seriously thought it was just a weird bladder infection, but nope ... it was a gross, little rock buddy that needed to evacuate my body.
And finally, you can add burning dry eyes and itchy beard and hairline to the list of side effects from this chemo. Eyedrops and drinking more water will help remedy that though.
Anyway, so far so good. Thanks for reading and keeping me and my family in your thoughts and prayers. With all your help and kindness, you know WE got this!
Happy dueling!
