Hello Friends And Family!!!!
Well, it is official. I am now able to officially join the "O.B.W.C.". Or. also known by its full name, the "Official Bed Wetters Club". No, it's not exactly what you are thinking. This morning, Daphne and I awoke to a large wet spot on the bed between us up around my chest. As if I hadn't experienced enough comedy of errors from my first night, somehow while I was sleeping I unscrewed the tubing that hooks my chemo and liquid saline pump to my chest port, and it was just pumping juice into my tee shirt for a period of time. So needless to say I am taking my last round and going out with a bang! Nothing normal here for me. Ha Ha Ha. Hopefully the rest of my stay will be as normal as can be. No other real news yet. Everything else remains uneventful. Even though I am not in a private room, it is okay because my roommate is a very nice, respectful middle age guy who is quiet, shuts his TV off at normal hours, and doesn't yell into his cell phone. A far cry from my 18 year old, MTV watching, rap music blaring, NBA watching, cell phone yelling roommate of round 5 or 6. I don't have my own refrigerator, but Daphne and I keep a cooler in the community fridge and it is working out just fine. Improvise, overcome, and adapt I always say. Well, goodbye for now. I will post some more when I get some time. Hope everyone is happy and healthy as I will be soon enough!!
Love Richard David

Are you certain that it just wasn't drool all over?? One would actually think that you were "dragging out" this round due to your sadness at the thought of being done???? YEAH RIGHT!!!!

Hurry and get this over with!! What a relief!!

Loved the pics of the house and we will be in touch when you return home. God Bless! Good luck with the start of school, Daphne!! We're getting ready for the first day also. Hannah met her K teacher yesterday morning at our school's K open house. Can't believe that she is starting.

Look forward to seeing you both soon and sending lots of love & prayers!

Hi Richard,
Nothing is ever simple with the Taraborelli clan. You certainly have had your share of mishaps since beginning your chemo treatments. Thank God it will soon be over, at least this portion of it. Hope you are feeling better this evening and ready to head home.
We look forward to seeing you and Daphne when you are back in the swing.
Love you both,
Aunt Helen
