Today is the day for treatment number five. I had five little pills I had to take last night and five more of the same this morning. The reason I am taking them is because I start a new drug today. Apparently some people can have an allergic reaction to this one and that is what the pills are for. They have a really nasty taste to them. This drug also goes in slower so it will take about 4 hours. So if you add the blood test and doctor visit to that I am looking at about 5 hours today. I have some new DVD's to watch over the next few days that are going to help me get through it. A very kind friend sent me some Doris Day movies and Cinderella with Julie Andrews in it. So my plan is to watch those and work on my cancer quilt. It appear it is also going to be pretty cloudy the next few days so I should be able to do some walking. One of the side effects of all of this has been that my eyes are avery sensitive to sunlight for a few days. I got about five hours of sleep last night because I know I was worried about today. Interestingly enough that wasn't what I thought about as I lay awake. My mind just would not shut down. I did get up and read my Sunday School lesson for this week. So one thing was accomplished. I tried all the relaxation techniques they have shown us but the world just kept creeping back in.

The las t couple of days I have felt really good and I have been trying to tie up loose for Glenna's wedding. I still have more of that to do. Mostly trying to make a list of what I'm forgetting is what is left. The Pili family is here this week having fun because Ifo has two conference here in St. George. Yesterday I went and did some sightseeing with them and then I met them at their hotel to swim. Grandkids are a lot of fun. I got to see all their tricks in the pool.
