Finally, another one

If I was blogging for money I would be broke by now. I hope at least a few people get to read this, probably by way of automatic updates or something but nonetheless, tell your friends. More of my wonderful musings are on the way...

I am currently in the midst of my seventh round of this current type of chemo which appears to be working according to scans of my tumor area. It is not so pleasant an experience, chemo. I recently likened it to a servant slowly trying to poison his master without the master knowing. I don't feel too great most of the time, to put it lightly. Mostly nausea (preferable to pain, actually.) The good news is that I have two weeks of recovery time before the next doses so things will get better and better for a little while!

My main goals right now are getting back in the gym, to possibly gain back some of the muscle I have been so liberally losing the last month or so. I also have a pile of paper, several inches high in my room that I REALLY need to go through. If both of those things happened I would be sitting smooth.

Actually, I would probably find two other things that were absolutely necessary for my personal well-being. That's just me. Depending on when you get to read this, I may have accomplished both things and you will have to read on to get the latest of my tormenters. Enough about me.

I am always nervous writing something like this because I know that anyone at all can come read it. I actually link here from my Facebook page. I hope you are entertained.

I'm reading it, if no one else is. I'm Harriet's daughter: Annette. I know your Dad best and none of you really well - but you Granddad and my mom..."hang out" so I keep up. I was in Houston when one of my good friends had chemo - if you have nausea make sure you ask for the drug Ondansetron - it is miraculous. Expensive as hell - but miraculous. I noticed you changed your religous view on Facebook - which is the main reason I'm writing. I list myself as Christian but truth is I am "other" as well. I know you are surrounded with people who have a firm faith and because I sometimes feel outnumbered almost like an alien because I don't have that kind of strong faith, I wanted to reach out so you have someone to talk to. I'll write more in a more private message.

I think this comment may list my class blog but my message will take you to my personal profile.
