The end of the Greer story is that we came home. Sunday was only 10 days out from the last chemo and now that I think about it, it was probably not the best time to make a break for it. This is when my "counts" (white and red cell) are at their lowest or getting there anyway (two weeks is about what it takes to knock them flat and then they go up again). My stomach luckily stopped making me so utterly miserable later Sunday night and that was a big relief. Sadly, after the drive home I felt as if someone had used a meat tenderizer on me and I still feel like that...but that must mean the job is getting done and that's a good thing. I just have to be patient a little while more (two months? two and a half?) and the whole kit and caboodle will be over.
We did have a beautiful drive there, as Mike said. We haven't been up that way in quite some time. And it was also about 20 degrees cooler. Here's a picture of us - in our "traditional" pose. We took this the day after the horrible stomach trouble as a way to make it look like we had lots of fun!

It is a nice picture - and good to see the focus on the positive! Now, switch that pose around! I'd pay big bucks to see Mike leaning his head on your shoulder! You are soooooo strong!
Ha! I loved Edward's comment! I'm saving my pennies so that we can escape somewhere fun when it's allllll over! Although, you know I'd come down RIGHT NOW if you want me to ...
Lots of love to you both!
A meat-tenderized-low-blood-count dko still looks awfully cute with her little blue kerchief and all, I must say.
