[Magdalen] Chemo tomorrow

[Eleanor Braun]

It's still going !  The team took 2 1/2 hours from the time I talked to the
doctor to get the treatment started. I have about 30 minutes to go. Then I
have a 2 hour drive back to the Cape. I'm feeling ok now, but if it goes
like last time, I'll start in on diarrhea in a couple of days. Hopefully I
can control it better this  time.

And then on Friday I'm bringing home a Shih Tzu puppy named Harold. That
will definitely brighten my day.
