I was grateful that with how well I felt on Friday. I’m even more thankful that I feel much better today! I would say that I feel as good today as I did the day before I began chemotherapy, and I felt perfectly normal that day.
Mary and I went to Vittles restaurant for brunch. I ate a ham and cheese 3-egg omelet, biscuit and gravy, small portion of hashbrown casserole, and a slice of Mary’s French toast! I think my appetite is back! Not convinced? For dinner we grilled out and I ate an 8-oz. fillet Mignon, large sweet potatoe, Caesar salad, and Haagen Dasz strawberry ice cream (230 calories worth) for desert. Mmmm, mmmm good.
I the afternoon, Mary’s sister Terri came to visit. Mary, Mary Sr. (my Mom), Lois (Mary’s Mom), Teri, and I watched a movie, complete with popcorn that Mary popped. The movie was “Flywheel” which was written, directed, performed, edited by members of the Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, Georgia for about $20,000 in expenses. A great movie and a great story behind how it started in a single Carmike theater in Albany and grew by word of mouth to a worldwide audience. If you get a chance, check it out. Netflix has it.
Thank God for another beautiful day!
Hey Dick,
Your outlook and attitude towards this fight with cancer is absolutely amazing. You are our strength. I believe that this will not defeat you, and that there are many lessons that we all will learn as a result of your journey.
I enjoyed Saturday as well. There’s nothing like gathering with family. We always have a good time when we get together.
Looking forward to many more movie dates!
Love you!
Hi Terri,
Thank you! Just like we’ve been having Friday night family dinners, maybe we need to start regular movie matinees on the weekend also.
Love ya,
Dick
