Feeling great

Carlene is feeling really good now. She has shaken off most of the things that were slowing her down. She is still feeling fatigue in the evening, but, hey, we ain't getting any younger!! We've been walking quite a bit over the past week or more. She has been handling hills just fine. Today we walked in our neighborhood, with all the steep streets. It was nice to see all the yards with such beautiful flowers, green bushes and trees. We went to Santa Fe for a couple days last week, just before the busy Memorial Day rush. The weather was great. We relaxed, walked some, visited a beautiful gallery recommended by Dan and Scharlotte, and ate lots of great Mexican food. Yesterday we all met up at Kevin and Lori's for a barbecue. We had a great time with everyone. The grand kids are a hoot. They kept us busy. It was a wonderful day. Carlene's last treatment is this Thursday. Tomorrow she sees the doc and has blood drawn. She is definitely ready for this to be over with. Ten days or so of not feeling well after the last infusion, and hopefully she will be done with this forever. That's our constant prayer. God has it under control. We're just trusting Him. Thanks for your prayers and support. God Bless.

Just one more treatment on Thursday. Woo! Woo!

It's nice that you took a trip to Santa Fe. I'm sure it did both of you a lot of good.

I remember a trip I went on between chemo treatments. The only food I had an appetite for was soft serve ice cream and canned pears. Really....that was all I ate.

Thanks for the update, Mike; please give Carlene a hug for me.

Love you guys! Sandy
