Sunday, Mar 14

Today probably would have been a good day, but I worked on the taxes. "Good day" and "Worked on taxes" are mutually exclusive terms. You can have one only.
Speaking of taxes, when I turned 65 I began collecting my Tektronix pension, last fall I started collecting Social Security. Those things, coupled with the IRS not taking as big a bite to 'stimulate the economy' led to my paying the feds for the first time in years and years. $37.00 - dang!

Saturday

Saturday was definitely a good day. The best since last Monday. Still working on the taste thing, but able to get food down and keep it there. That's an important improvement.
Sam greatly improved my hopes for a complete recovery. She phoned to let me know that she made a Call in Solo. Anything is possible with prayer. lol (Love ya, Sam.)

Update on Dad

Relatively speaking yesterday was a better day.
And this morning he was able to eat most of his breakfast
(first since last Tuesday). He says he has no taste.
But that must be better than a bad taste, right?

And with my cooking - it might be a blessing.

One week down

If Dad wants to post for today later he can. For now I'll just say it was a rough day.

Tues & Wed

Not so tough after all, Sam. I only worked half a day yesterday and didn't go in at all today. Wait and see how tomorrow goes.

Monday

Went to work today. I'm hoping I can get away with working since I'm pretty much by myself back in the Model Shop and can avoid much personal contact with others. That plus a lot of hand-washing and sanitizer might get me through.
I'm a little tired, but glad I was able to get out of the house and actually feel like I was contributing.

Sunday

Sunday was a kinda 'tween day. Not as good as Friday, but not as bad as Saturday. Richard cleaned up the front yard and Rose Garden, so that looks alot better.
My chemo treatments are every 3 weeks thru June 17th and it'll be about 2 months after that before my immune system gets back to normal. Look's like we won't be coming to any reunions this year or going on our usual Memorial Day jaunt. Maybe we can get in a little camping trip sometime in late Aug.
