Mon was the big day and not much happens in the way of drama after that.Tues was uneventful except that I had to take some antinausa medicine when I felt queasy.Not far from the Emory museum and I saw an exhibit advertised as Indian
dream paintings. Naturally interested in Native American art We went to look. I was disappointed to find it dealt with Hari Krishina stuff from India. Didn't stay long.
Today my appetite is gone and they are going to try me on some liquids with morenutrition.Also my mouth is becoming tender and starting to hurt some. May turn into mouth sores may not.For the next few days I will be treated for side effects of chemo as they may appear but I am hoping that it won't be too bad. They claim to have seen everything up here and are ready for anything.This gives us a level of comfort.
White counts are still dropping and are about 4000 today which means I can still go outside but have to wear a mask. Expect the counts to drop to about 300 by Friday and this will probably keep me on the floor until thsy improve. Am taking lots of antibiotics to prevent infection.
Thanks for all of your comments. I enjoy reading them.

Franklin and Aimee,
Good to hear that you are still able to be out and around. We are having fun and relaxing here in Cozumel. The weather has been nice most of the time. I guess it has to rain a little in "Paradise". Steve has been diving twice and hopes to go two more time while we are here. We go over to Playa del Carmen on Sat. We are planning to drive around the island today. Steve has taken some beautiful pictures that we will send you. I am so happy that you have the blog so that we can know how things are going for you. I hope the side effects are minimal. Will write later.
Love,Dell and Steve
Dell, It seems almost cruel that you would post from Cozumel. I'm certainly envious. We're vacationing in Washington DC this weekend. Driving to visit Mike's folks.
Franklin, So awesome that you are keeping us posted. I was wondering why it was OK for Dad and Grandmama to pay you a visit the other day. Now I know it was because your white count was still high enough. Hate to think of you being hospital ward bound (especially while Steve is out diving!), but it is the road to recovery.
Love, Teresa
