Easter Weekend

It's been a nice Easter weekend. John and Elsie are in town and we had a huge Easter feast today. Yesterday I actually went swimming - if only for a very short time. I've been avoiding the pool because one of the side effects from the chemo is a hyper-sensitivity to cold. For a few days after treatment, I can't drink anything cold and if I touch something cold I get a tingling and numb feeling in my fingers. It's very uncomfortable and a dip in Barton Springs is out of the question. Fortunately, it doesn't last forever and after last treatment it didn't seem so bad.

I have another treatment this week (provided my white blood cell count is high enough). I also have an appointment with the surgeon and he's going to check out the tumor once again. I'm not really looking forward to the week, but I really enjoyed this weekend.
