Sandy had lower back pain and her feet hurt as if she'd just run a marathon, but she took a pain pill and kept herself busy with our guests. On Saturday, Sandy and Scot and Ava and I went to see Monsters Vs. Aliens 3D. We'd all seen it once before, but only Sandy and I had seen it in 3D. Scot was amazed at the difference that 3D brings to it.

At one point in the movie I heard Ava say something that Sandy thought was amusing. I asked Sandy what she'd said. She told me, "She wants to go home." I thought she meant that Ava wanted to go home, but Ava had been talking about Susan, the main character in the movie. Good, I thought, we'll get to see the rest of the movie.

The rest of the day was largely uneventful. Sandy had a better idea this time about what meds to take and when, as compared with the days following Chemo Day 1. As a result, she tolerated the negative symptoms better.

Scot and his entourage left for Paducah this morning about 10 o'clock. We'll miss them, but our cats Smokey and The Bandit will not. Bandit hissed at everyone when we let him up from the basement to mingle, so we put him back in the basement until after they left. Smokey had stayed in the basement the whole time, being the shy 24 pound cat that he is.
