For whatever reason, the chemo really seems to effect B's pain levels. His shoulder
, as well as his right hip, are really hurting and as a result we haven't done much this weekend. To make matters worse, B ends up feeling like he is holding me hostage because I end up hanging with him here in the dungeon, aka the original 'Master Suite'. So he wants me to ask for some ideas of what to do alone in Grand Rapids for a few hours here and there, while he is stuck in what I will dub "C" mode. So my followers.... suggest away. And don't get me wrong, I know how to hit up the local shops and how to get myself a nice mani/pedi....and for my closest freinds....you guys would not believe how long my nails are. Just ask Senora Kiss, 
who has witnessed the nail transformation over the last 6 months. They are long and strong and shockingly fabulous. And when it comes to shopping, I have that down so I am looking for alternative ideas of what to do around town. However, for the record, I enjoy hanging out with B doing 'nothing' (read: watching mad amounts of TV/DVR recordings and movies), and I think that maybe B really just wants me out of the house.....I can take a hint, hombre. I mean, who doesn't enjoy hanging out all day in PJ pants after a long P90X workout? I personally enjoy doing nothing very very much, as do the trusty dog and cat. You will never catch our dog, lazy bones, complaining about a day of rest. Our perro lives for that stuff!B and I did get to see my Bro and one of our nieces on Saturday, a
nd we also went out to a local hot spot for some delicious tapas....thank you very much San Chez! It is just that both B and I are getting pretty sick of him feeling sick. After all, it has been 6 months since he started chemo, and we have another 3 ahead. We often ask for God to heal just 1 thing. It's not like we are asking for everything to just go away, but if just the arm, or just the leg would feel better, we could both get a little bit of B back. I know that often times we try to be upbeat on the blog, however B still struggles every day. Just carrying his computer bag and walking to class is a struggle. He often times says he feels like an 80 year old man, and I don't blame him. So much has been taken away, and we just hope that with each passing day he is able to get an inch back.Anyways, B heads back to work again on Wednesday and we are hopeful that by then he is back to feeling OK. We promise to keep you all in the loop. Looks like we have a busy fall on tap...with the Jewish Holidays, a few MSU football games, some tailgating, a tri
p to Chicago, and of course our Cruise!! So it appears that we are going to be busy, but busy is good for the soul and spirit! And after the Cruise, not much planned except a brand new semester for Professor Muttz.Thanks again for stopping by and we hope that everyone was able to enjoy the extra day off.
And for all you celebrating this week, toot your Shofars and have a very Happy New Year and enjoy your apples and honey!
