It's a little off subject, but anytime it rains in Austin it's a big deal these days, and it rained last night. It rained enough to close down the pool, which was unfortunate since last night was supposed to be the full moon party and they had to cancel it. That didn't stop us from going this morning and then having breakfast at Mom's. I should do a blog about that...oh, never mind.
I've taken 5 full days of the chemo pills and so far only minor side effects that are not bad. I gotta be happy about that!
I got lab work back today. I was hoping my CEA (Carcinoembryonic Antigen) number would go down again but it went up. That's a bummer, man. But the good news is that it didn't go up very much so the doc says I can continue on the pills for now. He also said that he does not want to overreact to one number. Don't freak out. Never freak out. It's all about the numbers. The Packers beat the Bears 21-15 last night. Those are a few numbers I'm very happy about!
