So that wasn’t too bad. Five days of 340mg of Temodar every night before bed, throw in a cocktail of anti-nausea meds, a little Vicodin, and a few extra naps and it went by pretty quickly (my wife might say otherwise!) The doc says that I’ll probably feel the juice flowing through my body for another five to seven days but it’s nice to know that one treatment’s down with only eleven more to go (and another 4 weeks before I’ve got to take more!).

Tomorrow morning at the delicious time of 6am I’m flying out to Nashville to be a part of a large gathering of Kairos Church Planting participants. It should be an exciting week of hearing stories from around the United States concerning the creativity and innovation that’s happening in starting new faith communities for new people. I feel blessed to call myself a part of this larger national family…now if only I could count on someone to help me shower and take my pills when I get there…anyone? Volunteers?

Seriously though, keep me in your thoughts and prayers that there’s no complications on the plane (blood clotting in my legs from sitting too long would be bad), that the after affects of the chemo don’t keep me down while I’m there, and (most importantly) that my wife survives without me while I’m gone (I’m pretty hard to live without).
