So glad to have an update from you! Sorry the chemo's giving you pain, but so glad the pain patch is helping. (What *is* a pain patch? I've never heard of it, but it sounds wonderful!)

I love the folks in your office. They just seem the most wonderful folks!

Sorry Rich had to drop out of the show. I can totally empathize. They are *SUCH* a huge time commitment, but if it wasn't so fun, we wouldn't do it. Hopefully once you're past the pain bit he can audition for something else...

Thanks for the update! *smooches & hugs*

A pain patch just means the drug is being delivered through the skin, and that means it's a constant (in my case, for three days at a time). So I don't have ups and downs, withdrawal symptoms before the next pill, etc. (which are problems I had with Vicodin). Just a nice steady 24/7 dose.

Next time you sing a show tune to yourself, think of Rich. :)

LiveJournal, it works great as a diary! Especially when so many of us are so eager to read anything you have to say. It's good to hear from you. I'm sorry you've been having bad side effects and pain though, and that Rich had to give up his play. Hope the pain patch and other drugs continue to do their job and make you feel better. *hugs*

So pleased to see your post on my flist and I'm like issi -yay for pain patches! It's good to hear they work for you. Having people over is much more fun than housekeeping but I'd suggest they bring some food over for a friendship feast (no idea what you call them in the States -the type where each person brings a dish of food?) because then you don't have to worry about catering. I've got to confess something; I'd pay to see Rich in a 'French Maid' costume -he could start a trend!!! ;) xxx

My best wishes dear, take care! *hugs*
