Today was chemo day. Left the house at 8:30 and made it into the garage at Group Health by about 9:15. A good commute! Just a few swear words by yours truly.
Darrel had his blood drawn at 9:30 and then we saw the doctor at 10:30. It was not Dr Feldman since he was in hospital and it was a doctor we hadn’t seen before. Short and sweet visit. Nothing new, except Darrel said he was now having pain on both sides of his stomach, not just the left. This was news to me, too!
We got back over to the infusion center at about 11:00 and waited for a little over an hour for the first drugs. That infusion took 2 hours and since we had said something to the nurse about still usually waiting for the pump, she got on the phone and told the pharmacy she needed it by 1:45. Suprisingly, it was there when the first one finished and we were out of there a little after 2:00!
He hasn’t had any ill effects so far.
Honey gathering update: They finished it all yesterday and he got about 32 gallons. I guess he got about 20 last year, so he is pleased.
Pain, pain go away and don’t come back on any day. Hopefully, crab, beer and a spoonful of honey will make the chemo go down and he’ll feel better.
I’m going to have to have a performance review with the guardian angels I sent to look over you. They are getting a needs improvement rating and better step it up a bit.
Both of you have demonstrated such strength and courage. I am so proud of both of you!
We love you guys,
Vanessa and Gary
We will keep praying fir both if you. Also for pain reduction and comfort, praises for such a good harvest, too!!! Janelle and Brad
