Saba Beats Cancer

So you don't always realize what my be affecting your psyche. Something as simple as shorts.  I have been feeling a little bad about the weight loss.  The other day Lee finally had it. I had lost some weight before this whole debacle so my shorts were not quite fitting right.  Last week we went to walk the dogs and I put my phone in my shorts pocket, walked down the steps and my shorts fell down to my knees.  She went out and bought a bunch of mediums to replace the larges.

So much fun.  I was warned and did get more anti-nausea but main not fun today. Only had an apple so far so not much writing today. BUT I get out of the hospital tomorrow.

Christine and Lee are going to give blood since we get a blood discount if we are replenishing the stock as we use it - so that's helpful. Just ready to be home, sleep undisturbed, smell non-hospital smells, have the puppies around and keep things moving.
