Hi Friends,
Well, we have our special gloves and socks, a blanket, a pillow, a book, ipods, and many drugs. I woke up this morning with a small cold that I likely picked up at the hospital yesterday, but tonight it feels under control. I was in disbelief about this cold this morning - I haven't been in public (other than the hospital) since August and as many of you who have come to visit me know, I've been incredibly careful to minimize my physical contact with everyone. Just goes to show you can't control everything. It will be fine.
I also want to thank my Secret Santa. Today the UPS man delivered a book by Carlyle Hirshberg and Marc Ian Barasch entitled *Remarkable Recovery: What Extraordinary Healings Tell Us About Getting Well and Staying Well.* It looks really good and will be great reading over the next few weeks. Thank you Santa, whoever you are...
I'll be back to the blog in a few days.
With love,
Kip
Here's a little prayer for chemo #6

(at St. Mary's)
may the tide
that is entering even now
the lip of our understanding
carry you out
beyond the face of fear
may you kiss
the wind then turn from it
certain that it will
love your back may you
open your eyes to water
water waving forever
and may you in your innocence
sail through this to that
