Two months to the day....

   Yesterday was two months to the day of my last chemo. Doesn't seem possible that it's been that long. My appointment with Dr.Olivarez went great. Red & white blood count was good. She was very pleased with the progress that I've made at getting back to normal. She was a little concerned about my Bell's Palsy and this cold that I have. She reminded me that my immune system has and always will be low and I will always be acceptable to colds and virus.   Going to acupuncture has really progress my healing. Most people can't tell unless you talk to me and see that the right side of my mouth doesn't move as well as the left. I no longer need a straw to drink from a glass and I can almost chew on that side again. I'm a believer in acupuncture.....
   Saturday, Sarah and I spent the day in Chicago. We had a great time together. It did rain for a few hours but it didn't stop us from doing what we had planned. Sarah had an agenda for us and  we were able to do and see all that she had planned. I spotted an old church on Michigan Avenue and wanted to check it out. The architecture caught my eye and I just had to go inside. When you walked into the sanctuary it was so peaceful. The stone carvings, the high ceilings and the pipe organ with over six thousand pipes were breath taking. There were fourteen carved angels seven foot tall that topped the piers along each wall. Each stained glass window told a story. We've decided to go back next year and take a tour of the Fourth Presbyterian Church.
   From walking on busy streets, people darting in and out of stores. With everyone in a hurry to get the best deal, to bumping into you and with taxi horns blasting going into the church was good for the soul. As soon as you closed the door the only noise you heard was the creaking from the old pews when someone stood up.
In the hustle and bustle of life it's good to sneak into a quiet place.
