| April 21, 2002- Normal weekend. Sat at home and did nothing. It was rainy on top of that so I couldn't even go outside. No fun. On the plus side I've been feeling a whole lot better the past two days. No more upset stomach or any of that mess. And I just feel a lot better, and feeling better is always a good thing. That's one of the things I like about my chemo regimen. They can only give it to me once every three weeks, and usually by the end of the first week after a treatment I feel back to normal. So at least I don't feel bad the whole way through this process, and that is a very good thing. I've heard from other people on the same chemo as me how terrible it is, about how they could hardly stand it. Either I'm just lucky or maybe it has something to do with my youth, but I really don't think it's all that bad. I made some plans to hang out with friends this thursday at Pitt. I can't wait, I miss all my buds and I really need to get out of this house. Plus it's going to be the last change I have to see them before school lets out. I can't believe this is the last week of the semester already. I guess next friday I won't be wishing I were back in school anymore since it will have ended and I'd be stuck at home anyway. I don't know if I'm going to get a chance to see Tracy when I go to campus on thursday. Yesterday she was saying she felt a little sick, and even though my blood counts will be back up by thursday I still can't risk getting sick. Although she said she was feeling a lot better today, but she's also going to be really busy studying for finals. I'm going there to hang out with Matt and he doesn't have any finals after wednesday I believe. Tracy has her last final on friday so it probably wouldn't be a good idea for me to take time away from her studying. The last thing I want is for her to get a bad grade becuase I didn't let her study. We'll just have to wait and see how things go. For now everything is looking good and I'm feeling great. Happy Mike :) |
