A Day off!

Connie had her 2nd Herceptin treatment yesterday.  Had to switch to the left arm, since the right one had been stuck enough.  She's going to have to relent and go to a mediport for the future IV's.  She's not happy about it, but it's what needs done.

Her appetite is like that of a pregnant woman:  some crazy cravings.  10 years ago, she pretty much swore off sweets, they didn't taste good to her.  Steak.  She LOVED steak.  This time, she's getting a little bit of her sweet tooth back.  Yesterday, as we're driving back from her treatment when I asked what she wanted to for lunch:  pizza.  Hit the Pizza Hut in Portland for the buffet and she went at it.

She hasn't been experiencing the aches and pains today, her stamina has been really, really good.  Honestly, if you would see her today, she'd be just like she was a year ago or any other time.  Nothing really noticeable which is terrific!

Tomorrow, we roll out early to Corpus for her stress test.  Cardiologist ordered it Tuesday so that we can get a baseline for her heart and how its handling the chemo and Herceptin.  Going to take the girls (Carmen and Sloopy) to Bruno's for some day care.  Time (and money wise), we're better off doing that than me dropping her off, coming back and heading back in again.  Will probably get the tires rotated on the truck to kill some time, too.

Our time with our friends, Fred and Vickie is rolling to a close, also.  We're going to go with them to our Heartland Owner's Group tonight for a meal at Texas A1 Steak and Seafood in Portland.  Then, they're out to the Island for most of tomorrow before hitting the road again on Saturday back to Dallas.
