Every day is better, today I actually left the house and took the dogs to the big dog park by my house, it has 2 lakes and several acres all fenced in so they can run free. I lasted an hour, the last half of which I was throwing the frisbee from the park bench, but that still counts! I got a little sun and a little exercise and I managed to eat some soup for dinner. I still prefer Boost, but I am trying to eat more solid food to get my husband and friends off my back. (I know soup is not solid, but it's not Boost, so leave me alone!) I think yesterday was the first day in a week I escaped a fever and I did not wake up in a pool of sweat, that's always good.

Joel and I had to drive all the way down to the island this evening to pick up a prescription, an hour out of our way. They can't man the phones at the pharmacy to get prescriptions switched to a different pharmacy and you can't park anywhere to run up and pick it up. Which takes 15 minutes at most, so then it costs you 7 bucks to have your car valeted (is that a word?). What a rip off! I hate going up there when I am feeling good, it is such a downer. I told Joel that I would have been just fine never knowing where M.D. Anderson was my entire life, but now I know I am a better person for experiencing this and realizing how many people suffer from this horrible thing every day! Tomorrow is Livestrong Day, sponsored by the Lance Armstrong Foundation, you are supposed to wear yellow in support of cancer research and cancer survivors. So, remember to LIVESTRONG tomorrow and be thankful for your health and your friends and family all around you!

Love,
Kelly
