UPDATE

Well it is Friday! If I complete this blog it will be the first time in many weeks that I wrote three times.

This is a good time for an update. I finished my Chemo and Radiation Therapy a few days before we moved here on Sept 10^th. On the day we moved here I could still walk up and down stairs and I didn't need a cane. The Docs warned me that I would get much worse during the weeks following the therapy. I was prepared for the healing that had to take place in my esophagus; painful swallowing etc. I wasn't prepared for the weakness. In a few days after moving I needed a cane to get a round. In a couple more days I only got out of my chair for bathroom breaks and to go to bed.

Since then I have been gradually getting better, but not a steady upward curve. Instead I would have numerous fallbacks. I would feel great one day and be in the pits the next day.

Finally [with crossed fingers] I would venture that I am on a steady upward curve and rapidly getting better. I have no trouble with swallowing. I can eat anything. I can walk without a cane, although I still use it often as a safety measure.

I get discouraged as I want to do much more than I am currently able, but I can now see light at the end of the tunnel.

I believe folks will be hearing from me, via this blog, three days a week from now on.

I am going to make this blog short as we have company.

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!

Love and Peace, Gregg
