Your husband’s comment had me cracking up! Mr Crabby pants will have to put his raw meat on hold for a while and become a bit more civilized with his meals by using fire. LOL.
You two sound like my husband and me when I was going through all my hoopla. We’d have the nurses in stitches too. Life is much more fun with a sense of humor.
The arm covers are a great idea to avoid some nicks and scrapes in his shop. In his heart he knows what he has to do, he’s just going to give you a run for your money on all of this!
Nadir or neutropenia…you may hear both terms come up, essentially the same thing. He may crash or he may just get crabbier. 😂. But yes, he will pull out of it in time for the next round. It’s all part of the process. Love talking with you! Keep me posted. Give Val a fist bump for me!

Hi Lori! Thinking of you and thought I would check in. Mr. Crabby Pants is just that today. Tired and crabby🙄 and bored, too. He calls it “Irritable Val Syndrome”. He struggles with sleep issues (was in the throes of working with a sleep doctor at Mayo when we got side-tracked with the lymphoma) and he’s not sleeping that well. Could be the chemo, too, perhaps. Naps, I say!!! Another item to negotiate 🤣🤣 Everything else is good, the dog and I, included . I’m going to make a batch of health food cookies now. Oatmeal chocolate chip. The oatmeal negates the sugar and butter, hence health food.
Hope all is well with you! Air hug headed your way❤️
