Unexpected Chemo Break (good) - Unexpected Pool Closing (bad)

This morning I met Dr. Tucker before getting a new chemo pump and he decided that I needed a break from the chemo since I was getting mouth sores (one of the side effects I failed to mention in my last post). I was concerned at first, but he said it's not uncommon and that we would let the sores heal and start back up next week with a lower dose. Once I found out it was OK and not to freak out about it, I said "So this is like a week long vacation?!" and he said "Yeah". The best part was that he also said it was OK to swim. That's good because the pool might close for a long time soon. They need to do repairs that will take 6 to 8 months to fix! They have to wait for some rain, which may never actually come, so who knows when it will close. It's such bad news that I don't even want to go into it. Don't even talk to Ginny about it. I'm serious about that.
