Last Wed. 26th of October Mike had his second chemo. He was supposed to get his blood checked and then come home until 1:00p. After they drew his blood they decided to keep him because he was dehydrated. We knew that, we just can't get enough liquid into him to keep up with whats going out. So he was a couple of quarts low. He had gone out by himself thinking he would be right back. But it didn't work out that way. After the fill-up they gave him his chemo.
He really felt pretty good that day and the next, but Friday didn't fell well at all. He is achy and tired and he slept a lot Friday and Saturday. He has the metal taste in his mouth so a lot of foods don't taste good. It's a struggle for me to feed him and also find something for me. A small thing to try and make him comfortable.
Today he is pushing himself and has gone outside to put insulation around the taps. I hope he doesn't over do. Mike has this third chemo on Wednesday, he has an appointment with Dr. Anwar then blood tests then the chemo. This takes most of Wednesday.
Sunday Susan and Kirt Bussio came down. It was so nice to have someone to talk to that have the same interests you do. They like to ride four wheelers and be outdoors. Susan is a breast cancer survivor so they were able to relate to what we are going through.
With Michelle's help I finished Melody's baby quilt. It turned out really cute and I just need to make the points and sew it on. Then I need start my projects for the grandkids Christmas.
Scott and Lindy are in Disneyland and having a great time. They have been to the beach and will trick or treat at DL tonight. Me I just want to go sit on the beach. I'm so glad they are doing lots of things with their kids. I wish we could have done more when our kids were young.
All my love, Mom
