Hi Everyone,
After a weekend with very low blood pressure, it's clearly coming back today. My headaches are going away and I have more energy. I'm concerned that my blood level counts drop a little each round (this is to be expected), and I'm hoping that I have enough to pass the blood test tomorrow and continue with chemo on Thursday. Dr. Adams and Dr. MacDonald came by yesterday for a visit with lovely cupcakes and scones in hand--I just finished the last delicious cupcake, the best I've ever tasted--so I'm sure my blood sugar levels are doing just fine. Maybe that will get me through.
Tonight, Maria Montini, Julie's friend and colleague (and now my friend too) came over to deliver the best minestrone soup to be found anywhere (photo above). I'm now eating everything with no nausea, and this addictive delicacy, which we affectionately call "crack soup," is like heaven in a bowl.
On my good days of this treatment, I have appreciated food like never before. Thank you to everyone who has brought culinary gifts for us to enjoy.
Love,
Kip
Kip, hearing you talk about "crack soup" reminded me of your first love for "heroine krispies" (audition day goodies, along with cupcakes)!! :) Wonderful to hear that you're able to eat now without the nausea.
