I didn't have that with my other chemo, but this is the 3rd time with the Taxol and I've had trouble each night sleeping after treatment. Think we may lower the dose next time.<br /><br />I love those puzzles. I have one at home I want to do, but I haven't started it yet. Maybe tonight, although I need to crochet too. We'll see what happens.<br /><br />Hope you have a great weekend.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662751045378148853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433230603334501738.post-3406906664631490672016-04-28T00:57:12.003-05:002016-04-28T00:57:12.003-05:00Good news all around!

I'm so glad that you are tolerating the chemo well and getting out and walking. The stamina will come in time. Your body has been thru a lot and it takes time. I just got done with rehab/recovery for my back - 5 years and I didn't have cancer and chemo to deal with. I bet you will see improvement each week.

Love your roses! Our spring has been typical-warm one day and rain/cold the next. We have rain all this week and next, so it doesn't feel like spring to me at all. I seem to remember that no. Ca. springs were much milder. I've been working on the Honor Flight blocks and just when I think I've finally gotten everything right, according to our leader, I measure and have a 10 1/2" block instead of 10. Can we say grrr. So tomorrow, back to the sewing room where I'll once again adjust my measurements and see if I can make one 10" that's got perfect point/geese. I have to remember the gal has been sewing/quilting for 25-30 years and I haven't, plus I haven't taken any classes for about 13 yrs. Love your puzzles, we used to do them at our last house but haven't done them here yet.<br />Praying you get a better sleep~it could also just be an age thing, I was awake on Sat. night/Sunday morning til 3:00 a.m.-no reason. <br />Hugs, NoreenNanaNor'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03608980502430055753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433230603334501738.post-68358209703609192432016-04-26T16:54:02.156-05:002016-04-26T16:54:02.156-05:00It is fantastic that you are handling this new rou...It is fantastic that you are handling this new round of chemo so well. You will be running circles around all of us in no time if you are doing this well now. <br /><br />Puzzles are so addictive.

Your roses look great! I have yet to get us a puzzle, but I have a feeling I'd thoroughly enjoy to. Embroidery some dish towels this week, and looking for fabric and a pattern to make a quilt for Melody is about all I am up to. Praying everything continues to go well for you!

I too take shorter walks instead of long walks for me it is because of arthritis in my hips and knees - I can do 20 minutes and then sit for awhile as long as I get "off" my hips for awhile they recover rapidly and then I can do more - but if I do long walks my hips hurt a lot more. I tend to take 4 to 5 walks some daysKaren - Quilts...etc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07293429657903986492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433230603334501738.post-87442652533131468342016-04-26T11:05:59.472-05:002016-04-26T11:05:59.472-05:00Your roses are doing great.
