IL-2 part 2!

In a few hours I check in for the next round of IL-2. No more Starbucks coffee every morning! I've got my netbook and mp3 player packed up to keep me entertained with a bunch of podcasts and books downloaded to my newly improved player that now holds 16 gigs! I'm packing a lot lighter this time since I know what I'll feel up for while I'm weakened. Just when my muscles are coming back: kapowie...back I go. Darn. Or yay?

Today will be my last 3 mile daily walk for some weeks. Then its back to the recliner for tv and listening. I still have some numbness in my hands but it's much better. I'm typing now with no increase in numbness although my right hand fingertips are a bit numb. Endurance is still reduced but it had been slowly improving.

I had my last meal out pre-IL-2 yesterday with friends Bob Madore and Bill Newton. A chili-size burger at Keno's--it was very tasty and they were entertaining to dine with as usual. Cheri got me a cinnamon roll for my last home breakfast. After these two IL-2 weeks I'll have to start eating better for the long haul back to normalcy!

So will the side effects hit me right away and limit me to a few doses or will we start fresh and go all week?
