Super Bowl Seahawks Celebration Day!

Sunday was a fairly ‘normal’ day for us. Darrel read newspaper, comics, and did the crossword puzzle while I caught up on some cleaning.

We went to the club for a few minutes to drop something off. Saw and talked to some of the people waiting for the Super Bowl to start. We didn’t want to stay because some people knew and others didn’t so we figured we wouldn’t be able to watch the game due to having to explain to all those who didn’t know.

Watched the fantastic Super Bowl win by the Hawks and were able to forget about things for 4 hours or so! What a great game.

Monday was Darrel’s 60th birthday. He was feeling pretty good and had gone all night without having to take pain meds. Darrel’s mom and my parents came over for lunch.

Then we had two couples over for dinner. Darrel laughed a lot with the guys. As most of you know, he laughs a lot anyway, but not so much the last week so I really appreciated them for that. Again, it was a time to get his mind off of things for a while.

Tuesday morning his foot and leg swelling was down significantly! Still hurt, but that is a good sign of either the blood thinners or chemo working, or both. Once the leg gets better and he is able to walk and stand without it selling or being so painful, he will be able to get active again.

Wednesday was 2nd Chemo day. The Seahawks parade was today so we left plenty early and took a couple back roads to Group Health Capitol Hill. Took about and hour and a quarter, but that wasn’t too bad.

Had an appointment with the nurse so she could do a chemo “teach” about all the do’s and don’ts. Then he got his chemo infusion. The infusion suites are nicer than I remembered and have TVs so we watched some of the parade.

Got home around 2:30, not bad traffic after we took the back road to the freeway. He had a nice hour + nap. Seems to be fatigued a bit which is to be expected. Not a big appetite either but still eating a fair amount.
