August 7th 2019

   Right now I'm only doing Radiation, but the markers and numbers have changed. I'm bleeding less, almost stopped completely. I asked what the CT showed from last week but never got a straight answer. I'm not sure what that was about. My back is painful and red, very red. The radiation is taking its toll and maybe that is what is suppose to happen.

  So today I messed up, taking on way more than I should have. My heart rate is still over 100 and will not come down. I washed the dishes like I do pretty much every day, then it hit me, I need to do more. So I took the lawnmower and mowed back at the chicken pens, then over at the Tractor Garage. These are things I normally do when I feed the chickens, except I'm not feeding the chickens. I got the lawnmower stuck and decided to unstick it with the tractor. I was using the front spear instead of a rope, mistake 1. The spear went through the grill and almost into the engine and also the hood broke. Then I pulled the tractor close to the garage door and tore another hole in the door... mistake 2. A friend asked a while back if I wanted firewood, sure I said. Well, he brought his 14 ft trailer full of wood and we unloaded it. Mistake 3. Then Mark (my cousin) called and wanted to know if I would buy his hay rake that the tongue broke off and needed to be welded back. Sure, so he brought it back here and we put it in the barn lot.

  I have 4 radiations left and I thank God for that. I got about 2 weeks before starting the Rx called Infinsy (spelling ?). Next week I will get Mark and Zac to load my calves to take to the market. They are not bring well but that is just how things are. I still want to catch them up, they know me and the way things work.

   Oh I am sooo paying for this day. :)

I felt it too. That took a couple of days to recoup.
