20 March 2009: It has been one week since the 3rd recurrence was identified.
I celebrated this anniversary by going to work for 1/2 day and then working for about 2 1/2 hours in the yard.
The gathered leaves were hauled, 78 gallons at a time, to the back of the yard and thrown into the fire.
I cleaned out the flower beds on the South side of our home, which do not presently contain any flowers and have not for years.
But it doesn't matter - the point is that I am doing hard manual labor for an extended period of time after receiving a major
chemo infusion earlier in the week.
Activities such as this demonstrate to myself that the 2nd recurrent recovery process is in fact in progress. And if you are thinking that the grounds look clean but barren, you are right. Like me, the yard shows the effects a determined cleanup/cleanout campaign.
