Weekend

Carlene is having a few struggles this weekend, but nothing unexpected. She was fighting nausea yesterday and didn't have much of an appetite. She had only part of a bagel for lunch and mac and cheese for dinner last night. I got her through a slow 3-mile walk at the mall yesterday followed by an afternoon of rest. She still feels a little nauseous today but not as bad as yesterday. Her "chemo head" isn't as annoying for her as it was after the first few infusions. The chemo nurse slowed down the drip on one of the drugs by about thirty minutes, which seems to help with that. The weather today is shaping up, finally. We might head to the Broadmoor for a walk around the lake. I think she will really enjoy seeing the trees, flowers, and waterfowl out there. If this cycle follows the usual pattern, Carlene will be feeling much better by Thursday or so. She seems to be up and down the first few days of the week after the infusion, then she suddenly gets past it. We're both disappointed that we have to miss going to church so much. But all the handshaking and coughing is something she has to avoid. And we miss seeing the grand kids. Oh well....only a few more weeks of this. You gotta do what you gotta do. Thanks for your prayers and kind wishes. We're claiming Psalm 91..."He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty...He will cover you with his feathers and under his wings you will find refuge.."
