How 'bout them Heels!

Good weekend so far - Carolina won, Duke lost, and UK could lose tonight.  If they don't lose tonight, we get them Sun. and it would be up to us to send them home.  As I have said in the past, everything else is 'bonus'.  However, if we come to play, we can still win them all.  It will be fun to watch.

Physically, I'm still feeling pretty good.  I had a couple days earlier this week when I didn't feel good - (maybe overdid it) - I did play golf three days and mowed the grass.  That's a pretty good week.  Today is day 12 and I have begun to have the burned mouth feeling again so I have to be more selective about what I eat (no more pepsi for now) - no mouth sores yet.  All in all, some inconvenience but thankful for only minor problems.

Nothing but praises!

As of today, I've completed week 1 of the second round of chemo, thankfully, without negative effects.  Hopefully, that will continue another week or more.

Weather is getting better with more nice days - I have plans to play golf 2 or 3 days this week and the grass needs mowing.  Trees and flowers are blooming - what a great time of year!

The Tar Heels made it to the sweet 16 - good season already with possibility of more to come!

Syracuse lost!  Marquette is a good team but we did not match up well with Syracuse - can't play against a good (or not so good) zone.  Now, we have a week to learn how to play again.

The only real downers in the NCAA is the fact that Duke and UK are still playing.  At least they can't play each other in the finals so they both still have chances to lose.

Round 2

I haven't posted anything lately because I haven't had anything to say (especially after the ACC).  As I've said all along, our goal is for all our players to return so we have a shot at the NCAA next year.  However, since we're there, it could still happen this year.  (Who will take the Tar Heels to the championship in their bracket???)  While that's our goal, the secondary goal is to last longer than Duke and Ky. - that would make this year successful.  Go Heels!

I had a brief visit with the dr. today and start the second round of chemo today.  If all goes well, I don't have to go back to the dr. until April 11.  I'll spend the day with them on that day - scans, mri, etc. all morning and visit with the dr. in the afternoon for results.  Thanks for your continued prayers - please continue to pray that the next 4 weeks will go at least as well as the first round and there will be positive results at the end (April 11).
