Well, Dave went in today to get accessed (they put tubes in his port and draw blood to make sure he is healthy enough for the chemo...they leave the tubes so they can give the chemo tomorrow through them). It's kinda hard to hug the guy Tues through Thur every other week...he has tubes out of his shoulder and the bag on his side, tomorrow he'll have a fanny pack with a pump...it's like he needs a shield anytime anyone comes near! Why don't we have armor bearers anymore?
Tomorrow they will also check what's up with the weird rash on his face. I mean subtle, hardly noticeable, slight redness around his eyes. : )
Today Dave and I both noted that we feel like we can see the end of this road. However, we also realized
I am still so proud of how well he is doing with (or handling?) all this. The neuropathy hung around a little longer this time, he developed an infection around his stoma and had to get antibiotics and he had a pretty awful headache this round. And now this rash...strange....my skin is starting to itch : )
I'll try to update after chemo, pray for a strong finish these last few weeks. Thank you!
Praying - for a strong finish, for diagnosis of the rash, for successful surgeries, and for lots of good hugs with your hubby. :-)
ReplyDeleteDoes it feel as this will never end? (No) There is an end,just focus on the end. Think of Dave as well. See him as a strong happy guy with the gift of repairing things.
ReplyDeleteWhen he feels like it, we need to have the control ball in our shower replaced. It's the one that turns it on and adjusts to temp. It is filled with mold. Keep it in mind, but wait until he feels like it. Love to all the family, Mom
