Post #47: "Wired Day" Number 2

Greetings Everyone,

Well, Monday morning Anita was up at 5:00 a.m. (this has been her normal wake-up time in recent years), got dressed, and took Tristan out to the front yard for a little puppy training. Big surprise: she wore herself out! That's Anita! Boundless enthusiasm and excitement over a new project (i.e. the new puppy) and prompt action re same. And as usual, her mind is way ahead of her body. So she came inside, rested, and then promptly wrote some letters!

She did get a little short of breath and had to sit down, but overall she reports that she is feeling better, has no nausea and no pain. She's not even wearing a pain patch. She is sneezing a bit and coughing up some congestion but that is a good thing! It means she's clearing out some of that nasty stuff that has been in her lungs.

She was due for another Neupogen shot for her immune system at 3:45 p.m. Monday afternoon and also said she was going to call her primary care physician for a referral to a cardiologist. Hopefully she will be able to get an appointment soon. She will also be making an appointment to see the oncologist before her next round of chemotherapy which will be around July 24th or so.

So, it looks like Mother's phenomenal constitution is serving her well. As each day passes and she continues to show improvement, we can all take heart that she will beat this thing!

Melissa
