Day 32 Starts

Except for getting up to drain the plumbing, I slept well last night. I took all my premeds and I feel very good this morning. I did my 2-mile walk/jog where I jogged about 75% of the distance. A little later, I did 11 pushups and 22 sit-ups.

With the pushups, as I get higher numbers it becomes easier to add one more. When increased from four to five pushups, that was a 25% increase. My recent increase from 10 to 11 pushups was only a 10% increase. The better one gets, the easier it is to move up.

I just need to go over to the Wawa and get a cup of coffee. That is my premed for my premed. They give me 50 mg of Benadryl to ease the side effects of the chemo. I drink a cup of coffee to ease the side effects of the Benadryl. It’s a never-ending cycle.

I’ll be at the oncologist’s office by about 9:00 am. I should be out of there around 2:30 pm – give or take a bit.

I've been reading your ongoing account of your battle and you are an inspiration.

When this is over, and you are whole again, and I am sure that will be the outcome, you should consider writing a book on this experience. I think many people would find it fascinating reading.

Anyway, keep on keeping on; this too shall pass!
