Today was a good day

Just waking up in the morning gotta thank god
I dont know but today seems kinda odd
No barking from the dogs, no smog
And momma cooked a breakfast with no hog
It was a good day.
....

These are the famous lyrics by one Mr. Ice Cube (pictured on the right).

Today has been indeed a good day. Yesterday was a rough day with the PICC line and everything. But today all is well. She had a spinal tap today where she receives a injection in her spine and chemo is introduced into her central nervous system. Andrea handled that really well and overall is doing really well. Even though she is getting some heavy duty chemo drugs, she has not felt any nausea and stayed upbeat and positive most of the day. Other than that, we took a long nap this afternoon, took a walk through the hospital, and just relaxed mostly. Two days of chemo down, three more to go.

....
Today was like one of those fly dreams
Didnt even see a berry flashing those high beams
No helicopter looking for a murder
Two in the morning got the fat burger
Even saw the lights of the goodyear blimp
And it read andrea-taylor's a pimp

It was a good day.

It is so good to hear that you are tolerating the treatments. Medicine and spirited optimism are the best combination for a good outcome. Having music and poetry to accompany your treatments, courtesy of Ansul and Mr Ice Cube, can't hurt either (except maybe when you laugh hard)! take care, sleep well to be ready for another day!

I'm also glad that you had a good day although, for me, Mr. Ice Cube would certainly bring on the headaches. Oh well, I guess I'm just getting old. That's what James tells me anyway. Love you, Aunt Karen

Glad you're doing well Andrea, and diggin' the Cube lyrics. Jade made you a "Welcome Home Andrea" chalk drawing on your back porch, with a heart on each step. In case it rains today/tomorrow - just know it's there :) I'm sure she will make you a new one. She has a stack of cards here for you - but refuses to let anyone else deliver them to you. You know her...

Looking forward to seeing you - you are so beautiful and strong, and are kicking this thing out of you. We will be in FL from Thursday-Sunday - but will see you as soon as we're home.

Love,

Your Neighbors

Anshul,

I see no need for you to get all thuggy on this blog.

I have suspected for years you may be a gangsta at heart.

This just confirms the worst.
