Laughter is the best medicine!!

It has been a busy weekend with a fair amount of fatigue.  A wedding Friday night, a Birthday party for a special Aunt on Saturday, Sound duties at church today.  All very enjoyable activities but never the less tiring.

Even though it begins early, tomorrow begins the first step in the process of treatment.  Arrival at 7:30,  port placement actually happens between 8:30 and 9:00 am.  I will be out of recovery roughly at 11:30.  I will then need to get lunch and go upstairs to my Oncologists "office" for chemo training.  I'm expecting Chemo to start this Thursday.

I want to say a deep heart felt thank you to one of my best friends who I called tonight.  He always makes me laugh and tonight was no exception.  It was one of the best 40 minutes I have spent in a few weeks.  Incidentally some of the conversation revolved around my "Chemo Buddy" (pictured right)  The target on his tummy starts laughter and flapping ears.  The more you tickle the more uncontrollable the laughter gets.  I named mine after him because the laughter reminds me of him.  I believe I can say he felt honored that in spirit at least he could be with me during Chemo.   At some point he may be able to join me but We'll see.
