She had a pretty quiet week. Tues and Wednesday were off days. She went in for a scheduled blood transfusion on Thursday. On Friday she went in for a platelet transfusion and two doses of chemo. This weekend she was off. She's been feeling pretty good this past week. Still wakes up real tired and achy, but once she gets going she has some pretty good energy. This week, Anna and TJ are staying at our house and my mom came down for this week. Anna was really active today... she setup a bunch of Christmas decorations (with some good help from my mom and not so good help from TJ). She also started driving a bit this weekend. On Saturday, she went with her parent's to the mall (no financial damage) and today she ran to CVS alone. She is definitely continuing to move in the right direction, but does still have a few ups and downs. This week she'll have treatment on Monday and again on Friday... and depending on her numbers, maybe they'll add in something else. It all depends on how well her body is reacting.
I missed another update this past Thursday. I went to the Rangers game on Wednesday and then out for some drinks with some ppl on Thursday night. By the time I got home, I wasn't really in the blogging mood.
I went ahead and geek'd out a bit this weekend. I added a twitter widget over on the right. For now, it's setup to my personal account so you may get more than just Anna updates. For my non-techie people... it's basically a microblogging thing where I can send brief updates, normally via text message from my cell phone or similar. This way, I can send out something quick when I'm in transit to work, or sitting on the couch or whatever.... So, even if I'm not updating the blog itself, you'll probably see quick updates to the twitter feed... I suspect someone will probably think this is cool and want to do it herself at some point.
Oh, and since I was geeking out the past few days, I updated my linkedin profile and updated the look for Gaffney Enterprises.

uhm, never mind. I think I
uhm, never mind. I think I figured it out. Thanks!
I hope you have a good week. All the best.
How to I add Anna to twitter?
How to I add Anna to twitter? I've got Tom. Sorry, my brain is very very slow these days.
thanks. Hope you're all well. xo
you suspect right
"I suspect someone will probably think this is cool and want to do it herself at some point." Yup. On twitter and eventually will add to my own blog. In the meantime, you and Anna need to follow me on twitter so I can direct message you.
And I can attest that Anna got through Monday, Thursday and Friday's tranfusions and chemo like a rockstar. Never more proud of my dear friend!
no twitter yet, but good to know
Hey gang,
Thanks for the news. Twitter too. Sounds good. I've not entered the Twitter realm yet, Linked In Facebook, Myspace, but I'm sure I'll get there soon.
Glad to hear things are moving forward.
Ho, ho, ho!

like a book....
I know her like a book. As soon as she saw the twitter feed, she said "can i do that"... so I'm working on building her's now and changing mine around a bit. Should be all set in the next hour or two. I suspect she'll update at least on the days when she's going over for chemo.
