Yesterday, after my fifth chemo treatment, we all went to get our H1N1 vaccination. We were concerned, because we will be spending time over Christmas with a newborn baby or two, that we should be careful not to get or spread anything. It was fairly painless and we didn't have to wait too long.
It was good to go the day after my chemo - within two days before or two days after is the recommended time to go because my immune system should be good for a bit. Also the vaccine should be most effective about the time my immune system would be low.
Daniel is coming home next weekend for Christmas! We're meeting him in Saskatoon on Saturday, so we're all looking forward to that. We also hope to finish up our Christmas shopping.
My last treatment will be on Christmas Eve, with the blood work done on the 23rd. That means I will feel quite well for Christmas Day, peter out a bit around the 27th and be recovered shortly after New Year's Day, if all goes according to plan. Lots to look forward to!

So this means you are spending Christmas in Saskatoon? We will be here in Calgary - Theresa comes home on the 19th and Angela , Mike & eve go to Halifax on the 23rd. We hope to at the farm for New Year's Eve weather permitting. Will you be back at the farm then?
Hope all is well with you and yours! See you soon! God Bless!
"Peter out a bit?" Is that some kind of a pun? Ha ha. Looking forward to seeing you over the holidays, Joanne. And Peter too, of course, no matter how "out" he may be.
