This week had a few shaky days due to nausea. It's all been good since Friday. Had a wedding gig out in Liberty Hill last night and had a blast. Congrats to Kaylana & Jason and their whole family. They were some of the sweetest people I have worked with. Excited about the benefit today at Flamingo. Life is so good!

Monday's Treatment
Chemo's ok today for the most part. Had a reaction to the Taxell at first. I got 'tomato head' and short of breath for a minute, so they stopped the IV and gave me more Benadryl and Solumedrol (a steroid) and I am fine now. Just doing some work and chilling...
Weekend was great. Got to see Alexandra, Anne, and Kalaiah. Watched a couple of good videos too: DejaVu with Denzell Washington and Dreamland which had some very interesting characters.
Did a wedding Saturday night at The Austin Club. Great venue.

A Happy Friday
I took Kytril this morning and returned home from treatment and I am not feeling nauseous at 11:40. Took an Ativan last night and slept great. Looking forward to doing a wedding on Saturday and rocking the house.

Happy 4th of July
I had a fever of 101 last night, today my tongue is totally white. So I called my doctor and he said I have Thrush and is prescribing antibiotics. I spent around 16 hours in bed from last night until this morning. Luckily, WalGreens is open and will fill the prescriptions for $163.
Happy Independence Day!

Our Lovely Healthcare System
Mom and I went to see SICKO tonight and it is another great piece of work from Mr Moore. He shows how universal healthcare could make this such a better nation. He shows how it is done in the UK, Canada, and France--and it works!
Go see this movie!
Then let's figure out how to vote for somebody who gives a damn to make this happen. We've been hijacked by insurance companies who have bought our politicians. It's so sad, and it doesn't have to be this way.
It just reinforced my lesson earlier in the day. I was speaking with my pharmacist about a different solution for my nausea. I did Compazine and Promethazine last week with mixed results (see Ralph below). It had been suggested that I try Kytril. When I asked her how much they were she told me 20 pills would cost me $600!
My social worker put in an application to see if I can get some help from the drug company. I should find out tomorrow how that will work out.

Good Monday
Almost finished with chemo today and it was a breeze. Didn't have any problems at all, other than falling asleep for a minute. My brain woke me up at 5:00 this morning, so I am a little sleepy I guess.
Weekend was great. Got to see Alexandra, Anne and Kalaiah. Rehearsal went well and the doc this morning said I will be fine to perform at the benefit on the 15th. More details coming soon on that.
