Second successful week!

Just wanted to let everyone know that I am home after my 2nd treatment. Things went about the same; a little nausea controlled by medication and few other side effects. I am feeling a little weak and dizzy when walking, but hopefully will gain strength when my appetite returns. I am soooo glad to be home!
Tom and the boys are doing well also. Tom is planning a trip to Cambridge for the Veteran's day holiday next week. I am looking forward to that (to recharge my batteries!) Kevin and Andrew are finishing up with midterm exams. Andrew is going to Virginia this weekend for certification in Scuba diving. He is really looking forward to that. Kevin is caught up in football and the World Series, following the Patriots and the Yankees. Looks like the Yankees are headed for a win... we'll see tonight!
My next admission is planned for Nov 16,2009. That will be my third cycle with one more to go. I should be recovered enough to participate in some holiday fare the following week. (Family members :Get your flu shots for seasonal flu and H1N1 now so no one brings anything with them to share for the holiday.)
Till next time... :-) Bets

Hey Betsy, Once again I'm sorry I didn't get over to see you. Glad to hear things are moving forward. I'll continue to pray for strength and healing. Always on top of your game. I haven't received my H1N1 yet, but I'm sure there will be more available soon. Love you, Kathy

Yeah Betsy, Keep it up Lady! Glad to hear you are back home from round 2 and that you are managing and that the guys are doing well too. Had a flu last week, still waiting for H1N1 shots here, only a month off schedule --- gee they didn't make enough -- so much for "free market" health care.

Keeping you in prayer. from John Henry Cardinal Newman to be beatified next year (Founde rof the English first oratories in England):

God created me
to do him some definite service;
he has committed some work to me
which he has not committed to another.
I have my mission -
I may never know it in this life,
but I shall be told it in the next...
Therefore, I will trust him...
If I am in sickness,
my sickness may serve him;
in perplexity,
my perplexity may serve him;
if I am in sorrow,
my sorrow may serve him...
He does nothing in vain;
he may prolong my life,
he may shorten it,
he knows what he is about.

Much love, Fr. M.
