I had my weekly labs done today and, although I don't know what the blood work showed, I'm sure they were fine. What really pleased me was the BP. Two weeks ago I had to go off one of my BP meds - not allowed on the clinical trial. My BP this am was 126/78 - near perfect, as the Triage Nurse said. So...today is a good day - no longer a metallic taste in my mouth, water tastes good again and so does Blueberry-Pomegranate Gatorade, although I still feel like I'm venturing into Star Wars when I ask for a drink that is indeed 'blue'!! I did PT yesterday and still feel good. After going in for the weekly lab work, Dave and I went over to the Estes Park Farmers' Market. We parked and I walked the whole length of the market and back - a couple of times. I also saw several friends, stopped and talked with them - glad to see them all. I also petted a beautiful, very large Golden Retriever - name was Garson. He was terribly interested in all the new smells available to him. I am trying to eat organic foods. We are eating many more veggies and fruits - all organic. Eating organically, I am able to take care of one of the side effects I don't want, caused by the chemo - constipation The fruit I eat for breakfast does the trick.
Tomorrow is spa day. <Sigh>
