Round five is complete and as strange
as it may sound I think it has so far been easier on me then the
previous two. Some of the side effects are worse, the sensitivity to
cold and the first taste thing are just plain nasty. Eye issues are
preset and a trip to the Optometrist proved inconclusive, further
testing will need to be conducted to determine if problems in my
right eye are being caused by the Chemo or if it is early signs of
Macular Degeneration.
Tomorrow is the forty ninth running of
the JFK 50 miler; this should have been my ninth. Though I will not
be running I will be at the starting line at five A.M. to accompany
John Kippen to the top of South Mountain. John is an inspiration, he
underwent a liver transplant earlier in the year and has come light
years to get into shape to run this race. After reaching South
Mountain I will walk back to the start to wish some of my seven A.M.
starter friends luck.
It will be cold so I will show up with
multiple sets of gloves, hand warmers and a full face mask, I should
be OK.
Well I need to get ready for tomorrow
so I'm cutting it short.
Mike
