I’m doing pretty well actually. I played 8 holes of golf yesterday. It is painful to use my woods, but my hybrids are okay. We hung out in a cold pool afterwards so I am not too swollen or sore.

I hope you get the MRI and don’t need to do chemo. Radiation isn’t too bad, really. Good luck today and let me know how it goes!
