Too many pills??????????

As you can see from the picture, we have had a beautiful day here in Middle TN for Woody's day 6 of cycle 1 of his drug study. The temperatures have been unbelievable too...74 deg. F for the high!

Melany came to pick up Erin mid-morning. They were about to leave when Nathan and family returned from little Elijah's first RV trip. They had a gig in East TN last night. This was perfect timing as Melany really wanted to hold little Elijah and was sad that she wasn't going to get her "baby holding fix."

Shortly after lunch I phoned in some of my prescriptions to our local independent drug store. I told them the numbers that were on the pill bottles and then was about to tell her my name and she said that I didn't have to...that she knew who I was! Too many pills???? (Of course we do live in a rather small town and I'm pretty sure that they have caller ID for the last name...but still..!)

This evening we decided to invite Joy (3 year-old granddaughter) to come over for a story and a bath. Woody read her a story while I got her bath water ready. Just as Woody was finishing reading to Joy, he started feeling like he was going to be sick...so I scurried Joy upstairs. When I checked on him, he said that he was okay...that he had gotten a little sick...and that he was feeling much better. The reason that he had started feeling nauseated was seeing the pill bottles and then realizing that it was time to take the drug study pills. Too many pills!!!!!!!

Do be in prayer that he doesn't get into this "frame of mind" about taking pills. This happened to him when he was in the hospital when he was taking IL-2. And, we had a terrible time getting him to take pills of any kind. The nurse would tell me the ones that he had to take and the ones that could be skipped. But, with this drug study he can't skip any! One thing that is good at the moment...tomorrow is the last day of cycle 1 so no more excessive amounts of pills for three weeks!

Woody got up early this morning and walked about seven miles. After Melany and Erin left, he went to the library and stopped and bought some sweet dark cherries...yum!!!!!!! He has spent a good part of the afternoon and evening in his recliner reading and resting and trying not to think about pills!
