On a scale of 10, I would rate today at 6.625

Joyce did get more sleep last night. She got two doses of the medication and slept until 4AM.

She was feeling a little low this morning, we both do at different times, but then--

The Physical Therapy person came and got her up walking. Not very far, but around a couple of times, And she had JB do some exercises. So this helped a lot to get rid of the blues!

Then the Doctor came in with more good news. Her white count was almost back to normal, her hemoglobin was better, and her blood sugar had gone down considerably. She said Joyce is not in danger of infection any more and her body is beating the chemo. So tomorrow she will get a C-T Scan, and will not have to drink the white contract stuff.

Joyce was talking to someone today and used the phrase "so this is our crazy life now." I have to say this helps me change my thinking. It helps me get away from daily expectations and look at a bigger view. This IS our life right now and looking at a day at a time puts us right back on the roller coaster!
