Comforts of Home…Almost
We didn’t have to leave for the Cancer Center until 10:30 a.m. so we had time to get a few things done this morning. EJ went outside and shoveled the walks and driveway. A Good Samaritan plowed out most of our parking areas yesterday.… Continue Reading “Comforts of Home…Almost”
New Year’s Day Infusion
We actually stayed up to greet the New Year last night. I cared more about sleep than staying up, but JJ wanted to so we did. We got up at 7 a.m this morning. Today the Cancer Center was closed because of New Year’s… Continue Reading “New Year’s Day Infusion”
New Year’s Eve
Yesterday was JJ’s first day of his second cycle of Chemo. We had to be at the Cancer Center at 10:30 a.m. We were again taken to Room 8, which is our favorite Infusion Room because it is bigger than the others and has… Continue Reading “New Year’s Eve”
Chemo Cycle 2
Yesterday morning I got up early, wrote a post for this blog, and then fell back to sleep on the loveseat. I slept until noon. So did JJ. EJ slept pretty late too. We spent a very lazy day–none of us even changed out… Continue Reading “Chemo Cycle 2”
Vladimir and a Thousand Terrible Things
Yesterday we had to go to the lab for JJ’s weekly blood test. The drive to the lab was very beautiful. Last weekend’s ice storm was worse just north of us and there is still a lot of ice remaining on the trees there.… Continue Reading “Vladimir and a Thousand Terrible Things”
Oh, My Goodness!
Today was spent doing routine chores. EJ brought in firewood, fixed the floor near the washer/dryer, and other tasks. I did dishes, cleaned the house, and reconciled the checkbook–a task I do not enjoy. We walked to the bank together, and then to the… Continue Reading “Oh, My Goodness!”
Bad Hair Day
Yesterday was a busy day. JJ’s laptop was ready to be picked up at the repair shop, so EJ went and got it for him. With JJ vulnerable to illness, I stayed home with him. He suffered terrible body aches from the injection he… Continue Reading “Bad Hair Day”
Odds & Ends
Yesterday JJ had to get a blood test, so we drove the hour (or so) to the lab. The blood test didn’t take long. We managed to time it just right so we were the only ones in the waiting room. Before we left,… Continue Reading “Odds & Ends”
Further Ahead
Today I felt very lazy. We all spent the morning just sort of taking it easy, which, after the busy weeks we’ve had, was a joy. While we were talking to the doctor the other day, he told us that there is another young… Continue Reading “Further Ahead”
Chinese Takeout
Yesterday afternoon JJ had a two-hour session of Chemotherapy. The Infusion area was very, very busy and we were tucked into a little room in a corridor that I didn’t know existed. We had a new nurse named Kim. She was sweet. Sam the… Continue Reading “Chinese Takeout”
Real and Imaginary
Last night when EJ came home from work, he asked if I knew where the binoculars were because Jupiter was very bright in the sky. We’ve always enjoyed looking at the stars, and EJ had permanent orders to wake us up if he notices… Continue Reading “Real and Imaginary”
The Cancer Center
This morning JJ had his first appointment at the Cancer Center. JJ was given pages and pages of forms to fill out. While he was busy writing, I observed the people in the waiting room. I pondered that every person there was fighting the… Continue Reading “The Cancer Center”
