Getting caught up

I have been waiting for the news to change and it has, some, so here goes.
In the beginning of chemo they were giving me two drugs and both caused diarrhea. Seven months worth. They told me that my diarrhea was the worst they had ever seen. We are done with one of the drugs and they, medical types, felt that they could get the diarrhea under control just battling one drug. So now I am taking one drug that causes diarrhea and 3 drugs to stop it. For the last two weeks it appears that the 3 drugs are winning. Bless God!! I have actually been able to leave the house (read: move farther away from the toilet).
Also, the fatigue seems to be getting better but I'm having to take it slow. I got to feeling pretty good last week so I trimmed the grass around the fence. That wore me out for two days.
So things are improving ---- slowly.

God is good all the time!!
