I am exhausted today. I am a bit surprised about how tired I am and it kind of hit me this afternoon at half time of the World Cup. We attended the celebration of life and I ended up standing for 2 hours as all of the tables were full and I did not know…
Mel thought that I was pretty peppy today all things considered. I think that this treatment cycle actually went fairly well. Most of the issues from previous sessions I was able to deal with. Neuropathy still sucks and I am not sure if it is getting better or not, but it has not been impacting…
