"If You Give a Mouse a Cookie"

There is a children's book by that name that tells a story of one thing leading to another. (If you give a mouse a cookie, then you will have to give it a glass of milk, etc...) I am experiencing some of that. There was chemo on Wednesday and thus anti-nausea medicine, which seemed to work well. Then on Thursday, we went back to the doctor's office for an injection of "Neulasta", which is "white blood cell booster" to help protect against chemotherapy-related infection. In case that makes my joints hurt (it goes to the bone marrow), I can take Tylenol. In the meantime, because of taking iron and other drugs, there are other drugs to take for constipation, like Senokot-S and Milk of Magnesia. And now I need to balance those all out.

Two other highlights of Thursday:
- On the way home from the doctor's, we stopped by the Secretary of State to get my driver's license renewed (and got my picture taken while I still have hair).

- Friend Debbie came over in the a.m. and helped with cleaning. Ah... Thanks so much.
