Well, I left the house at 740am to head into the office for the first time in a while. It was snowing pretty hard and it took me just over an hour to go the 11 miles. Pretty typical of everyones drive today. By the time I got into the office I was exhausted. We are on the 2nd floor of a 2 story building and the stairs, cold and drive made me sit down for a minute before getting started. I had a 10am meeting and 1130 call on the calendar and was able to get through both of those before heading home. I left the office just before 1 and was able to make it home in 45 minutes and was able to take a solid nap from 2-3pm. I have a pretty good headache going and am drinking as much as I can to stay hydrated. I plan on working tomorrow for as long as I can and feel good about next week, although you never know.
I did hear that Ross Smith, former president of Security Title passed away. Although I didn't know him well, he treated me like we were old friends and I had to ask some people who knew him well if it was genuine. They said that is exactley who he is and it's such a rare trait. I'm not sure when his cancer was diagonised and I know it was pretty bad. I was told that he was aware of his family being with him and that is a good thought.
I'm still struggling with food as I can't find many things that dont upset my stomach. Apple sauce and yogart have been good but I get tired of it. I had Miso soup and sesame tofu yesterday and it was okay and I ended up taking the nausea medicine after eating just a little. The next time I really enjoy eating something will seem like the first time as it all tastes like crap. There are times when it feels like nothing is going on and then all of the sudden, I will have stomach problems or burp or feel sick and it just feels so random. I just want to know when I will feel NORMAL? Will it take all of February or March or will this linger for months? I will ask Reznick as he can give me a guide and I am really clear that everyone is very different.
I think I will be eating a lot when I feel better and it starts to taste good again.

Sam,
It is SO, SO good to see you posting again.I have come to find that you post the most in the middle of a treatment series, not when it is horrible and not when you are feeling better but somewhere in the middle. Would you please let us know what specifically the Dr. said at your visit last Friday? I know what the nurse thought but wanted the confirmation from the Dr. too. I can honestly say I have never been happier to see a year end and I hope that the New Year brings health and happiness for us all.
Thinking of you always! With much love,
Heather
p.s. Update on Greg? I have been checking his blog too and it says he was released from the hospital and back on Chemo.
Thinking of you, always!
Much love,
Heather
