Before there was Jack Bauer, there was David, the vampire. Kiefer Sutherland really stretched his wings for his role in The Lost Boys. This teenage gang of vampires’ (and you thought teens have it tough today) motto was, “Sleep all day. Party all night. Never grow old. Never die.” Now I really don’t want that kind of life; it sounds a bit much. What I really need and want is blood with high iron count. I am officially borderline anemic and feeling some of its effects: tire out easier, leg cramps, can’t lift as much at the gym, etc. While I try to figure out the best way to supplement my dwindling iron supplies, here’s Adjuvant Therapy: Week 4…
1. Still managing chemo with the help of anti-nausea drugs and great care from Betty and Karen (nurses).
2. Still managing radiation, 11 more to go.
3. Zofran headaches from hell. (better than vomiting and nausea though)
4. Still walking, working out or playing tennis as much as I can.
5. Honing in on my napping skills. Don’t usually get to work on those until summertime.
6. Acupuncture is going well except for all the insistence on the herbs…not too sure what to think about them.
7. Reading the Omnivore’s Dilemma…it’s an interesting read.

The Far Side and the The Lost Boys in one posting–Sherman set the Way-Back machine the Gottsman’s house! 40 years since the Summer of Love, 30 years since Star Wars, 20 years since the last summer movie night in Glen Ellyn. Ouch.

I recommend that if you want to ever have a chance at beating Beth at tennis…now is the time to ask her to play. And if her legs start cramping, you’ve got an even better shot!
