I'm sorry it's been so terribly long since my last posting. This chemo has really knocked the wind out of me. I thought I would be better at handling this than I am. I have chemo every three weeks. Well the first week is a total throw away for me. I can't do anything. I can do just a tiny little bit, but it's really just by the skin of my teeth and it's really hard. Then I have to sleep for ever to recover. Even if I don't do anything, I have to sleep for ever. All I do is eat, sleep and run to the bathroom the whole week. Then the second week is a little better. I just don't sleep as much. By the middle of the third week I'm back to my normal self and I'm trying to catch up on everything that I didn't get to all those lost days. Then I'm right back to the cycle all over again. It's not a lot of fun. My oncologist said I was having a lot of side effects followed by, "there is only so much we can do about them.". O.K.
So at least I was able to get two photos enlarged
a lot and wired and I brought them in for the show and they are hanging up. I'm not sure why I made them so big, but I sure did. They are both 30"x20". They came out good, but now I will have to store them if they don't sell. I got a lot of very nice and good feed back on both, but especially the one, "Beaver Marsh" . I liked that one too. I love that whole area. I love going there and how it makes me feel. I want to go there and paint one day too.
I will try to post more often again. I am half way through my chemo now. Then I will be starting the radiation. I want to get back on track with everything again. I felt so good when I was getting up early and drawing. I want to start that again, but I don't know if I can. I will get better and back to things again. I just keep telling myself that.

I got a wonderful "thinking of you" card from someone today, that I never expected. Rosemary sent me one just out of the blue. I know her from being on the Brunswick Art Works board. We know each other, but not really well. She found out I had cancer and then I saw her at one of the meetings that I finally got around to going to. She was so nice and wonderful to me. Now she has sent me a card out of the blue. It's so nice when people do things like that. It's almost kind of old fashioned these days. It's nice to get something like that in the mail, hand written and specially sent. Thanks Rosemary.
