Bye Bye for a week!

We are preparing for our journey to California tomorrow to see Patrick's brother, Bill, and his wife, Pat (the other Pat Irwin!) in Orinda, CA (near SF) and then down to LA to see Ryan and Sarah and baby-to-be Irwin. We are very anxious to see them.  We'll be gone a week. 

My health is pretty good, although still having some pain from time to time, so Dr. Johnson has me on Dalaudid but a tiny, tiny dose compared to what I used to take.  So far, so good in terms of cramping and being clogged.  I hope to taper off this entirely within the next few weeks.

Chemo is scheduled for the day we get back from CA.  Chemo is not painful at all and I have the Emend drug which is a super magic bullet which prevents nausea.  Should be A-OK!


Howard & Daryl have arrived and are getting settled in at the house here for their Bike Week adventure in Daytona Beach where there are hundreds of thousands of spring breakers plus the bikers, a new melding of two groups which has not happened before.  Crowded times ahead.   Reese and Allie will be in good hands with these dog lover guys! 

Weather here in Florida is so perfect it is difficult to believe Spring has not yet sprung.  Azaleas are in bloom and our bottle brush bushes are blossoming as are the little pansies and impatiens.  Very nice!  We will encounter rain in SF and LA and temps below normal (in the 70s) but we are ready with sweaters. 

Next blog will be after our return.  I'll take pictures to share.

Thanks for reading and hope all is well with you. 

Love,

Peggy
