Short day

After 3 Thursdays of Chemo, yesterday was a short day since I only had to give blood and have no chemo. My fingers are more sensitive, fatigue continues, and my head is still without hair! My white cell count continues to be somewhat low which means my immune system isn't what it should be, but that is to be expected with chemo. Praise the Lord that I haven't caught anyone's viruses!

The desert flowers are beginning to bloom, which is really beautiful since we don't have the opportunity to watch the sunrise as it takes place now before we are on the road. Another interesting sign, south of Florence, reads, "Tom Mix Memorial." I remember seeing Tom Mix cowboy movies on TV as a kid in the early 1950s. He made over 300 films, but only 9 were not silent films. So what was the sign on the Florence highway about ? That is near where he died in an automobile accident in 1940. A rather interesting fellow that you might want to Goggle search.

Have a great week and I hope to do the same.

  1. Hard to believe that Tom Mix was born in 1880. Same year as me. My favorite two cowboys were Gene Autry and Roy Rogers. I was a charter member of the Roy Rogers Rider Club in Washington Indiana.

    Thanks for the update. Praying for you guys today.
