Joe:

Thompson:
Yay!


UPDATE:

Joe:
Today was the best day since getting out of the hospital a week ago - temperature good, energy getting back to what it was and all of that putting me in the right frame of mind for my second 6 hour session of chemo followed by the daily radiation treatment - Last session of chemo was as an in-patient and happened while I slept so I was not sure what to expect - today was private room with juices and lunch and all painless with lots of time for catching up on magazines and my book - Trying to stuff myself to put on some weight and looking forward to a good night's sleep and whatever (besides Thompson!) tomorrow brings!
