I am moving to my new home in this little town in Iowa. Still on my own, getting the house ready for family later this month. Was there yesterday getting utilities done, and man that was tiring. Just hanging out all day watching things being done wiped me out. I was dragging by the time I got back to my rooms. So tired.
Slept well, but still feeling slow. Gonna have to take it easy today as I move things, but it is only clothes that I have to do, friends are helping with the little bit of furniture.
But, God is good. I will finally be feeling like I am "home" again being in my own place. I thank the lady who was so kind to me here in Omaha.

Today I go for treatment #2. I am ready for it. Got a good night's sleep and am confident that today will go by swiftly and with positive results.
Hair is leaving in earnest now. Have cut my hair down as far as I can go to keep all the traitors from littering my clothes and office desk. I feel a little strange like this, but people keep telling me I look handsome. People are so nice, even though the fib a lot.
Hope everyone is well. you are all in my prayers.

I forgot to tell you, I received the results of my cat scans today. Remission again. No signs of Lymphoma. I hope it stays gone for ever.

Congratulations. That is great news. I hope it is forever. You have gone through enough already.
I have been using Benadryl and it really helps me sleep, so I think I can get past the prednisone this go round. Feeling good right now, a bit drained from the long sit but fine.
Take good care and go celebrate.
I finally got something approximating sleep last night. I have always been a real good sleeper, much to the charin of my wife, but this prednisone part of the treatment is playing hell wih my sleep cycles. I could not make ti through a full day of work yesterday, only about half. Went and got some benadryl and dosed myself last night. Took a bit to fall asleep but I got a good bit of it. Feel better. This is the last day of prednisone so hopefully tomorrow night will be a good night's sleep.
My teeth hurt. Weird. Not really my teeth but like I have real sore gums. Comes and goes, but is annoying and a big part of the trouble falling asleep. No sores in my mouth or anything, just soreness.
Achy to, but that is probably just sleep deprivation...or maybe it is my body explaining to me that filling it with poision was not the best idea.
But, God is good. I go today to sign a lease on a home for us here in the Omaha area. And my wife got a real outstanding job offer yesterday, so it looks like we are going to be in good shape. And one of my daughters just finished high school yesterday. She came to live with me after having severe problems while living with her mom, and now she is straight A's, happy, joyful and heading off to Indiana University. Did I say God is good?
I hope everyone has a great Memorial Day Weekend.

God is so good..I hope you are starting to get some energy and strength back. I use to feel good the last 5 to 7 days before the next round. Don't woory, what you are feeling will be a distant memory soon. I have already forgotten how bad it was until I read someone else going hrough it, and then it's like oh yeah... I took both prednisones in the morning (Dr. o.k.) and that way at night I was able to sleep. Continue doing what you are doing and remember "This to shall pass"
I go in this afternoon for the results after my first round of testing since I have completed treatments.

Hi George, take it easy, I think I used to lay on the sofa for days it seemed. It does get better. I used to have plenty of energy while on the predisone, for 5 days then I would crash. Thats when I would spend days on the sofa. I hope you are eating good. It helps. Take Care Steph

I think I am eating too good. Don't really have an appetite, haven't since I started, but make sure I eat regular. I am taking it as easy as I can. Not pushing too hard, though I did past two days to get moved. Gona be lazy today.
