Monday morning, clear, snowy, Christmas week, beautiful. I just took my last oral dose for a week. A friend and "gentle reader" suggests that I stop calling them "Devil Pills" as we are hoping they will be an important part of my therapy--well put. So how about "Silver Bullets," or just SBs. That shows a level of respect and the opportunity to reverse on them if they turn out to have just been torturers. It would start with "Sonsa..."
I continued my first week of treatments with similar results--relatively good mornings with a crash late in the afternoon. We managed to get out to buy some bird seed, stopped in to see Kris, got some fresh air. When I am feeling better in the morning I can generally eat several, small "meals." But it gets more difficult as the day progresses. I do have nausea pills that help a good deal. All-in-all, it was not a horrible experience.
So off we go into my first interim week. Certainly hope that it can be enjoyed.

I made Sara promise to keep me updated, so she sent me this link to follow. I'm glad you are writing this! I hope you don't feel too yucky from your treatments. I think about you guys everyday, and I miss you! I think of you and Gram basically like my own grandparents, you know. :) See you soon I hope!
ReplyDeleteLove, H
I, too, am glad you are writing this. Nice that you got out today. Since we have this nice snow cover, the birds will be grateful for the seed. Wishing you blessing this week.
ReplyDeleteGlad to 'hear' your positive attitude, Richard! Enjoy your off week, may it be a good, restful, and pleasant week for you and Emily. Much love, Marion and Bob
ReplyDeleteDick--You have been on my mind a great deal lately, and wanted to let you know this. I want to make sure that you always remember how important you are to so many of us, and important to us for a million different reasons.

Check out the link--and know that my heart and thoughts are there with you--let those of us can help help as we can.
Your friend,

Hi Ricky, just a note to tell you how much your yesterday message meant to me. We all need reminders that miracles aren't always in the big box with the shiny paper and fancy bow. They can be so quietly special that we don't even think of them as miracles, but they are.
ReplyDeleteFeel free to use up all those retirement funds. We'll mount a show---"Hey kids, let's put on a show in the barn!!" ----Andy Rooney/Judy Garland style if we need to raise more money. You haven't honed all that Defiance talent all those years for nothin'.
Hugs, Ava
