The good news is that I am still bored. I feel pretty good - but I have to admit that the appetite is diminishing even more. All part of the process. If all I have to worry about is loss of appetite, then I am doing well.

One would think that by reducing your oral intake, you would begin to lose some weight. Not true! My weight has actually increased somewhat over the past few days - all due to the fluid that they keep flowing into you. So I cannot recommend this as a viable way to lose weight! I was viewing this whole process as a sure fire way to being svelte once again - that was approximately 35 years ago!

Not much going on today. Had some visitors which was nice and Nancy ended up going home shortly after 7. I keep telling her to leave at a reasonable hour so that she can go home and get some rest.

I do have a TV. But, not being a big TV fan, I have not turned it on for the last 2 days. Maybe I’ll watch the BC - Notre Dame tonight.

So, it feels good to be over the 3 day-2 drug hurdle and now only concentrate on the 1 drug for the last 4 days. The doctors keep asking me about feeling any nausea and/or the need to vomit. Neither issue has surfaced. So the medication and my asking God to make this as pleasant as possible all seen to be working.

Sorry that I can’t be more interesting - but boredom is wonderfulllllll!!!!!!
