Harry Potter Marathon that is! Di and I have been catching up on our Harry Potter so we can be all up to speed for the new one. 4 movies in 3 days. Hopefully we will go see the new one this week.
Lets move on to more important things. Me. Just kidding. Di is slowly getting her appetite back. We went to Lakewood Dixie for lunch yesterday and she ate a baked potato. Then she had a Strawberry Shake from Jack In The Box. I had to have an Oreo Cookie Shake. I'm seriously getting fat.:( Must run today. Joe Jackson is my work out partner and he has been in the Canary Islands for Dan Pierce's wedding for over a week. So I, of course, haven't been to the gym since his departure. He's back now so I guess i will get back to my regular routine. Weeeeee.
There has been a noticeable improvement in Di's surgery wounds. They are pretty damn close to being completely healed. when they do heal completely Dr. Meade will begin to fill them with saline. (come on full C!)
The first few days after chemo was not pretty. We were warned about it. It is true. The physical feelings of nausea and a complete body ache is true to typical chemo effects. However she has improved daily on the physical part. The mental mind trip is another thing. Mentally telling yourself to "get up" has got to be draining for her. You just don't want to do anything. Don't want to get out of bed in the morning, don't want to go to the store, don't want to keep telling me to "leave me alone" about getting out of the freaking recliner!
I expect this week to be much better. So does Di.
peace & love

Hey Caly and Diana,
ReplyDeleteI am really happy to hear about the progress! We have a friend who is just went through his sixth round of chemo (Lymphoma), and at this point, he has sort of figured out his way of getting through the "post", and then the time before the next round. He says the hardest part is getting up to have a day of doing something - having some kind of routine - taking out the garbage, cleaning whatever - something at least once a day - he says it's hard, but it is what keeps him somewhat sane. Way to go Di!
