It's Tuesday and time for an update.  I am so happy that today is far different from last Tuesday.  Although I was a little tired, I had absolutely no sign of an upset stomach today!!  You have no idea how great that is.

  I stopped in at Loyola on Monday and got a compression sleeve for the arm on the side of my surgery. This must be worn when flying and if there is any sign of swelling.  I am glad to say that there is no sign of swelling but I need the sleeve for a flight to Phoenix on Sunday.  Emily and I have had tickets for 6 months.  It's our annual trip to visit Aunt Karen.  I'm feeling well enough that I can go and I plan to relax when I'm there.  Really, I will!!!! 

I am anxious to meet with Dr. Albain on Thursday.  This will be our first meeting since the chemo started.  I will let you know how that goes.

Thanks once again for all the care and concern you shower me with!!  I'm being held up by a mighty strong net.

Until next time,

Karen
