Well yesterday was much like today (which was much like the day before that) ... Yuck, but the type that one would associate with Chemo. Today when Pop Pop went for his blood work he also received Potassium (because his level is low again) and Neulasta. I have noticed his white blood cells are dropping so we are keeping an eye on that as well.
Yesterday, he called the doctor to let them know that he was beyond tired and could hardly walk. The doctor told him that he had to get up and walk, because fluid can collect in his lungs. Hence, the marathon training begins. Today, we made it a few mailboxes further than yesterday!!
On a happy note... Pop Pop is the only person on Chemo (exaggeration) that gains weight. So needless to say, he was thrilled when a package of Delicious Orchards goodies arrived from Vickie & George. Not to mention, the personal delivery of Cuban/Dominican food from Nani (and the gang). Yum Yum Yum!
Pop Pop has asked me to say thank you for the comments, he enjoys hearing from everyone.
Lastly, I need to rent him another movie ... any suggestions??
I have been going at it wrong trying to get off my lazy ass and see how many miles a need to run to be in shape for my game on Sundays. bahh I should start thinking MAILBOXES instead.. Thanks sys.

Buenos Dias PoP espero que le hayan gustado las galletas que le traje de la Florida. Fue una tortura traerlas a la mano. Que pase un buen dia.
