Hi Lori! Thank you for checking on us!
Today, and lately, we have Mr. Ray of Sunshine 🌞 . He had his third round and it went well. He did get a little, no alot, rambunctious a few days afterwards and spent a couple of days putting in railroad tie stairs to my work shop. I call it the Chemo Steps. You had said previously something about him learning....well, this time he did. While he did take breaks, etc . it was just too much. I'm grateful that it didn't warrant a trip to the emergency room, but it was close. He has now turned his pick axe, shovel, and rake in for easier projects. And he did it with a good attitude! You are right again - it's starting to level out and we're both getting a better feel for all of this. I'm learning to go with the flow and not panic (as much🥴) and Val is giving his body more grace and his mind more acceptance of his treatment and it slowing him down. His last two appointments, prior to treatment, have been with a PA at Mayo in the oncology/hematology dept. Val and he just clicked and that has helped immensely. He has his "mid-way " Petscan on the first of May. Hoping that he doesn't light up like a Christmas Tree like his two previous scans🎄🙏🤗
How are you? Hoping spring has sprung in your neck of the woods!! Big hug headed your way💓💓
