When Sledgehammer Falls, Call in Your Friends

Today was a long chemo day, but got great news from Dr. Head. She could not find my tumor. She told me that she does not look at my chart before the exam as she does not want to see the tumor location and be biased about where she is looking, so she looked everywhere, and really...Could. Not. Find it. She had a big grin on her face at the end of the exam and so did I. Also, my cell counts are good--even though I felt bad last week--and I can continue with full-dose. 

My friend Patty took time away from her middle-school, where she is principal, and kept me company for the last (and most tiresome) part of the session. I got the scoop on how my friends in the TJ’s Games did. For obvious reasons I could not compete this year, but I’m so in for 2012. So much fun to hear about everyone—great work to all, and thank you Patty SO MUCH!!

Here are some photos from this weekend’s wine-tasting trip with Christine, Kathy and Addy. Yes, I did taste the wine—but that chocolate sauce was what really had my interest at the first winery—Larson Family Winery in Sonoma County.

I loved this dog, Diesel, who kept us company at Homewood Winery. With that tongue hanging out, he just looks like I felt all last week, but had such a great attitude. My role model!

Thank you friends for treating me like a queen all weekend. I know I had three pairs of eyes  (four if you count Bob the driver) on me in that car the whole day and felt very protected and cared for. You are the BEST!!!!
