It starts like this: Monday-Thursday is chemo - 4 hours each day.
Then, blood work, blood work, blood work.
We were thankful that he will be on the mend for the May 16th wedding in South Dakota, but what we didn't realize is that he blood count will be at its lowest that weekend. That means he is very vulnerable to sickness and will be tired. Hopefully he can overcome it to dance the night away with me...? Well, maybe a couple of dances.
This weekend I have to work on getting him to EAT. The next couple of weeks he won't be able to take much more than Ensure shakes, so I'm hoping he can pack it on this weekend to sustain him. I've got a freezer full of ice cream bars and the pizza place on speed dial.
Speaking of food, the ginger steak salad was fantastic! I would say this, though. Double the salad dressing. We were really rationing it out for 4 people, and none of us had enough dressing (which is delicious!) See Wednesday's post for the link to the recipe. It's a keeper.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Today I'm cleaning house like a mad woman. It is cloudy for like the 5th day in a row. Listining to hop hop kind of music to keep me going quickly. Wanna go for a run, Val?
ReplyDeleteWe have a new neighbor next door in your old house. His name is Jack Thomas and he was born Friday morning at around 1am. I think the lady, a relative I'm assuming, I spoke with this morning said they were going to call him Jack. I yelled out to them right as they were pulling out of the driveway and asked if that baby had come yet! Pretty funny...she was probably like "whatever lady, I don't even know you! Nosy neighbors!" Ha! I love doing that! Reminds me of my nosy husband! You know what I'm takin' 'bout. Geez, that rap music is really makin' me kinda rappy.
Have a great weekend...just chekin' in on my homies. Check out- Lmfao "I'm in Miami Trick" I really like the beat, but have no idea what they are saying or even care what they are saying.
