08/08/09 Second Week of Treatment

08/08/09 So we stayed up last night watching the Yankees game, well I kept dosing off, but Joe did he had the T.V. on in the bedroom but he made sure he woke me up when A-Rod hit the two run homer to win the game in the 15th inning. Wow. Well he is feeling pretty good after the first dose of Velcade (chemo) a little bit of aches in his joints and back but no nausea. Yesterday chemo was an injection in his cath line with IV. They also gave him some long lasting anti-nausea meds. Well we have the weekend off so I caught up on two loads of wash and Joe wanted to get a hair cut he wants to keep it real short so when it falls out he won't have to deal with it. We have a barber shop right in the galleria mall below us, the bottom block of this building is a galleria mall it has everything from a CVS to hardware store, post office and little store front food shops. So we did are usual routine to get ready to leave and walked down to the barbers. It took about a whole five minutes to cut Joe's hair since he is keeping it real short anyways. It was such a nice day and Joe was feeling pretty good and he can still be around people without wearing a mask we decided to go for another walk. We had to be back by four to watch the game, Joe decided it was probably a good idea not to wear one of his Yankee shirts and put on his Boston Celtics T-shirt. We walked for about 3 or 4 miles round trip we took a different direction this time a little more site seeing. Joe did real well he was a little tired but not to bad. Yankees win Theeeeee Yankees win! Yes game three the Yankees win again, Joe can't wait to wear his Yankee PJ pants Monday to the hospital, that should go over real well. Ok well today was a pretty quiet day so I won't bore you anymore with the details. We love you and have a good night.
