Deck the halls with boughs of neuropathy

Here we are about 6 weeks after leisa's last chemotherapy session. Today a bag of rust (iron) was infused to try to bring up her hemoglobin numbers. She's been getting Procrit every week as well to try to restore an energy level suitable for the holidays. Numb feet and hands remain with no real relief yet. Back still a problem.

A CT scan on Jan. 3 will be the key to determining the length of this break. The weekly trips to the Doc make it not feel like much of a break.

Our trip to Philly for Thanksgiving was good. We stopped in on leisa's Mom on the way. We stayed in a hotel about 9 feet from a BEST Buy that opened at 5 am on black Friday. I woke to the sounds of irate drivers suggesting unique maternal relationships, etc. Leisa takes great sleeping drugs so she slept on.

We then drove to Williamsburg to see my folks. All is well there. Hoping for many more years out of them.

Merry Christmas to all. Here's hoping for a great New Year.
