Stuff I'd Rather Not Know

Today was Chemo Class, not a new thing to those of you who have gone through this, Joyce and Susan two of my dear friends. I'm so glad you are suvivors. So many other friends who have had cancer or family members who have gone through this journey. I admire you so much.

Mike's port placement is Monday 6:15a.m. A little early for me, I just get sleeping good about that time. But you know I'll be right by his side. His first round starts on Wednesday. He will only be about an hour and a half so that's good. I told him I just love a bald man and he is partially that way anyhow. So we will see what happens to the rest of his hair.

He surprised me after we left the infusion center and said he was "starving". He doesn't like to go to lunch or even out to dinner very much. But fish sounded good to him so we went to Sizzler. We haven't been out of the house together except to go to the doctor or the ER. This was a real treat to be on a date.

I missed going to craft night at Gaye's house last night. Mike's stomach was hurting and guess who's fault that was? Mine of course. He should have had his Fentenyl patch changed two days before I remembered it. I feel so awful that I spaced it. It made me feel so bad. So this time beside marking it on the calendar I put in on my phone alarm to ring that day. I won't forget again I promise!

What a beautiful day today. The leaves are so pretty and I feel more aware than ever of the beauty around us. Life is so precious and each moment we spend together is a gift.

Love to all, Mom
