Seriously

Sitting in chemo now with the juices flowing. I'm sucking on a delicious raspberry tootsie roll pop, jamming to Aerosmith, sitting in a comfy recliner next to my lady, no stomach pain, and thinking, man this is great... except for the chemo. I've got Pinto's dilemma going on right now. For those under 30 out there, go rent Animal House. For everyone else, the devil keeps telling me to get up and run. The angel, however, is a more soothing voice, measured and explaining this is the right place to be. The angel's winning.

Last night Mike emailed and told me to give the chemo Hell. I told him I was going to give Hell a little bit of Heaven! His response? "Mom, is that you?" :)

Does this mean there is a toga party on the horizon? Or perhaps a food fight...Is that a pledge pin on your uniform? I of course do not need to rent the movie as I am well over 30 and have the entire thing memorized. Flounder is my favorite!
Great job finding the "good" parts in the "bad". Plow on.
Love, Jenny G

David, I woke up at 6:30 am without an alarm. I thought of you and am sending you energy and strength. You can do it! Yes you can! (That's from Bob the Builder) PLOW ON! Love, Elizabeth
