Good day today. Doctors told me I could go off the IV machine as long as I don't have any medicines that need to go through it. For those of you unfamiliar, the IV machine is a pole on wheels with these fancy-looking motors on it that pump and infuse chemicals into me. It also gives me a saline solution (24-7) and has been tied to me since I've been here. Everywhere I went, it went. Had my workout with Kevin the PT guy and didn't have to be attached to the machine---felt great. Walked around the hall (6 laps) at a good clip without the machine after the workout -- felt great. I will do 20 minutes on the treadmill tonight before dinner and should sleep well. Just gotta keep drinking water to make sure I don't have to have fluids all the time. No problem as far as I am concerned.
As far as treatment goes, I just get another subcutaneous hormone today--no chemo. This is the stuff that helps the good cells grow inside of me, so that's a good thing. Got a lot of cards in the mail today, one from my former editor at the Express-Times in Easton. He sent it to me while he was on vacation with his kids and wife. Wow!
Thanks again to everyone for sending stuff. It's really encouraging.
Tiger has made a strong showing today at the British Open. Been watching since he teed off. Looks like a great course this year, dry and crusty and british and tough. Haven't been able ever to watch all four rounds of the British, so this should be fun (as long as TW stays in it) Way better than movies!
Anyhow, will talk to some of you tomorrow or today and will definitely write again in the blog. Keep posting!
P.S. Tiger just made an eagle putt at 18 to put him 1 within the lead after 18 holes. Awesome!
