More thanks for the good wishes.

Had the 2nd chemo treatment (two down, ten to go) yesterday and again had the fanny pack attached for additional medications. Got home last night around nine (after a meeting) and the pack started beeping (meaning something isn't working). Opened the pack and saw the cover for the battery was off and it looked like contact wasn't being made. Checked and cover had fallen off. Evidently the "catch" to keep it on is broken because it simply won't stay on. Taped it on and for a little bit, I thought we had it working. Nope, started beeping again. Called the "emergency number" ... got our doc ... he said take the battery out and go back out there this morning. Another 50 mile round trip. Then, I'll have to go back out there again on Friday to have the pack removed when it runs out of medicine.

I feel good other than being perturbed by all this ridiculous driving. No idea when the clinics associates won't let me go to Pekin or Eureka where they have clinics and that would reduce the travel to 20 miles per trip.
