Three Weeks Done

Three weeks of chemo and radiation done, three more to go. So far I seem to be handling it well with only some irritation to my intestines. I need to remember to keep drinking lot's of fluids. (beer doesn't count).

This was one heck of a week for the O'Grady family. Kevin concluded his first week working construction for VTS (Vertical Tower Services).

Patrick was named “Outstanding Senior” at the TJ Band Banquet and took home a second award when the Clarinets won as the best section.

Last night Maggie won “Best Actress” of the year for her role as Little Sally in TJ Stage's production of Urine-town. Patrick had been nominated for best actor, but that award went to one of his friends who did a phenomenal job in Phantom of the Opera.

As for me, well I won the title “Teachers Pet” with my two Reiki practitioners at the Friday session. There is no doubt that I feel less stress and discomfort after every session. I'm so glad I opted to try this out.

Running wise it was a “short” week with only twenty five miles logged. Bad weather and “kid conflicts” kept me off the trail more then I wanted. To get back into the swing of things I managed a ten mile run this morning and hope to follow that up with another eight to eleven miler tomorrow.

Later .... Mike
