Fourth Update

Having messed up Mother's Day, I managed to do the same with Father's Day. Another set of symptoms put me in the hospital for four days, but no infection was ever found. That delayed my new round of chemo by a week, but I did get the infusion earlier this week. So far the side effects have been minimal, for which I'm very grateful. The plan is for six doses given three weeks apart which will hopefully get things back under control.

As usual, the hospitalization took a lot out of me physically, so I'm doing exercises to restore strength and endurance to allow me to be able to once again do simple things around the house. Some days are easier than others.

I finally got in to see my eye doctor. My cataracts have gotten so bad nothing else can be done for my vision until they're removed. I have a consult with a corneal surgeon next week and will hopefully come away with a reasonable plan that can be carried out soon.

Happy celebration of independence, liberty, and freedom! While our country has lots of problems, I've been to enough other countries to know that this is home to me.
