I received my radiation schedule and do not have to go for radiation on my full brain until  Tuesday. So hopefully I can get stronger. 
Nicky is flying down today to stay with us for a bit. 
Took a suppository for nausea at 1:30 , 6:00am. 10:00am, 5:00pm, 9pm which seems in helping with vomiting 

6;45sm-Took my antacid pill. 
 Drank Booster and took my steroid pill at7:00am and 12:00 pm. 
Took pain killer 11:15am, 6:30pm

Great news…. My daughter is flying in from Florida and will be here today after 3pm. 

3:30 pm/.Steve picked up Nicky and made it home. It is so nice to see her. 

I had a craving for banana bread which Steve picked up at the bakery and cooked it. However after hanging one bite I could eat anymore. No worries, Steve and z Nicky did a good job on it. 

Steve made wings, fries and celery for dinner. I couldn’t believe how much I ate. This is the first time I ate solids with no nausea. 

Nicky noticed how much hair I am loosing and how hair is all over. She put a small buff on my head so I don’t shed too bad until she cuts it.

I just can’t believe the impact I have had on others.  The good news is  knowing I had no regrets and I have lived life to the fullest. My daughter asked if there was something I wanted to do before I transition and I had nothing to say.
