Go, go, gadget arm.

Chemo round 3, check.

So I think I made it through the rough patch with the third round of chemo (knock on wood), and I am moving towards my last treatment! Like some others have said, #3 seemed a little less harsh than #2. I am tired, but just giving in to sleeping a lot.

When I unwrap the PICC line for Jim to flush the meds through, I like to say “go, go, gadget arm,” except it really can’t do anything cool (like turn into a camera or a magnifying glass), although I suppose administering medication directly into a deep artery that runs into your heart is cool? I will be relieved to get this thing out!

Robo-arm.

PS. Thanks to everyone for the continued well wishes! It really keeps me going and makes me happy. I got a nice note recently from my pal, Anna Smith, who wrote,”…though you may feel like an acorn, you have the strength, grace, power and wisdom of the mighty oak inside you.” I really liked that, and then I saw this tree (below) on my walk today. It all kinda came together and I wanted to share it. Be the oak.
