Day 5, Cycle 2


Matter of prayer: Woody is at the point in the cycle that his aversion to pills is becoming more and more of a problem. With each dose it is becoming harder and harder for him to get the pills down that he HAS to take! Looking on the bright side (and, this is for your eyes only, as he doesn't even want to talk about pills)...he only has two more days of taking pills in this cycle and today he finished taking the anti-nausea pill and the four chemo pills...so he has subtracted five pills from the regimen. Now he "only" has to take four drug study pills in the morning and four more twelve hours later tomorrow and Sunday...then he is through with pills for this cycle!!!!
He told me today that he really is glad that he is going to work daily, as that helps him to keep his mind off of "not feeling well." Here's how his day has gone so far today: he got up early, took the anti nausea med, drove to work, took his chemo and drug study pills (with great difficulty!), then worked, walked at lunch, worked some more, came home and rested for a short time, then went out and mowed, came in and rested, ate supper, took his evening pills, mowed some more, and is now making banana oat bran muffins! Again, staying busy keeps his mind off of how he is feeling...so I would say that he has had a busy day and isn't letting the chemo keep him down. Praise God!
Tonight's picture I found when going through old pictures that I have been organizing. It was taken with my original digital camera back in 2001. I was playing with the camera's special effects. This picture is solarized...be sure to enlarge it...the effects are better viewed when it is larger. I thought that you might enjoy a bit of late winter/early spring on this hot summer day!
