My mom and sister have gone home, and we’re back to the boring summer routine. Work out, watch COPS, do the laundry, eat, practice golf. I went surfing Thursday afternoon with Beauch, and that was pretty good. I didn’t have the cojones to go after a few waves I should’ve, but all things in time. Felt good to be in the water again. I shot a 98 from the tips at Dairy on Wed., which was about 10 better than the week before. Next Wed., 94.
One of the saving graces of chemo and irradiation has faded also, as my so-called hair is growing back. What a pain. Ear hair, wild eyebrows, and what do I with this wispy crap on the sides and back of my head? Back to shaving it? That’s a lot of irregular surface area to screw up. I am letting it grow for now, but if Dana won’t have sex with me I am going to have to do something.
Yesterday morning when we got up, we found this frog in Woody’s water bowl, staring up at us. There was a glob of dog fur and hair (my damn hair) floating in the water, which made me think the frog got in, went hopping around, got covered in all the fur and hair and had to find some water to get the stuff off. Kinda weird. I looked on the internet for crazy frogs, and came up with this ringtone thing which was big in Europe, and drives people crazy.

My mom and sister Leslie have been visiting this week, and are leaving tomorrow. We have been having a fairly low-key week, but went to see the elephant seals (not many left in the area, gone north), young John’s play (he is Wayne in State Fair), and some scenic tours of the area. Today we cruised Morro Bay on the Tiger’s Folly, complete with Sunday brunch, pretty dang good fare. Mikey has gone camping up in Big Sur, the kid is having more fun than anyone else. That’s the way it should be.
I am feeling about the same, okay, not great, kinda low energy but I am working out and walking the dog more. Looks like my new weight is 162, been stuck there a while. Last night was my last dose of 6-mercaptopurine, so we’ll see if the headaches start to lessen. I don’t have a headache all the time, but if I bend over or sneeze or strain, I get this stab right in the forehead. I can actually hold my forehead and keep the pain from coming. I wonder if there is too much blood in my head.
I start a new chemo phase soon, maybe this week, with some doses of vincristine and daunorubicin, and some cytarabine and cyclophosphamide in 4 weeks. One more big slam with the big guns, yeehah. Steroids too, so we’ll see what I weigh in October.
