Well it's been 10 radiation treatments so had lab work done today. One more treatment this week and then another 3 day vacation from driving out to Ontario. I notice today that he is a bit more stable on his feet. He was taking steps rather than shuffling and went from the bedroom to his chair in the family room without the walker and no leading him by the hand. Hoping to see that progress continue. He's staying up later in the evening also. Appetite is still somewhat suppressed so we are working on that.
Conversations with Chris are interesting, to say the least. Mentally exhausting too. For some reason tonight there is a focus on rules. He wanted to talk to me about the rules that have been made. Then he asked if he can make any rules. I told him of course he can make rules, what would he like them to be? He said "Well if I can make one, the first rule would be that I am not allowed to make any rules." I had to laugh at that. He also thinks that this illness has been going on for 10 years and wonders what we have been doing for 10 years. He remembers the cruise we went on for his 50th birthday, but wonders if it's weird for all of us to be married and did we all agree to it before we did it. LOL!! So the way it stands then, Mike and Debbie, Allan and Melissa, Cliff and Barb - we are all in this together :-)
Pill time and debate on how many pills he has to take. Trying to make Norma believe that I said he doesn't have to take them all. Yah, right - too bad for Chris, she knows better than that!
Diane and Roger - that ham is making some awesome leftover dinners. Thank you again for bringing it over for us. We love you.
Chris thinks the pills are working. I hope so, if it isn't the pills then it's got to be the prayers! Please keep sending them up.
With love and gratitude for all the prayers, thoughts, wishes, support, etc. CJSRJ
