A beautiful day in the Great Northwest!

Chemo went very smoothly today. Darrel only got poked once to hit a vein! That is like one of the first times for that! The first chemo came pretty quickly. No problems there.

Second chemo took a little longer, but it is a harder one to mix for the pharmacy (takes a long time to dissolve.)

So, we were out of there in about 3 hours this week. One of the quickest so far. Of course, we didn’t have a doctor appointment either.

Darrel was doing pretty well afterwards too. He did lay down on the couch about 6:00 and is snoozing now.

I want to thank everyone who came to Darrel’s party. It was an amazing to see everyone. Darrel had an awesome time! He really enjoyed it (which was the point!)

He has kind of been paying for it, however. His feet have been hurting him from standing so much. It is neuropathy from the chemo that is affecting his feet so much. Hopefully, it won’t get much worse.

We are amazed and overwhelmed by what wonderful friends we have. There was so much help at the party that both Darrel and I were able to spend the time with friends and family (very little time for each person due to the number of people, though!)

The next morning everything was pretty well cleaned up when we got there at 9:00. And, breakfast was being cooked, champagne was opened, and a good time was had by all at the so-called ‘clean up!’

We are very lucky people to have such good friends and wonderful family.

Thank you so much!

Your very weepy, grateful friend, Robin!
