no key west.
when i found out what chemo she was gonna get i knew from experience that it would get ugly.
so we cancelled reservations and so forth.
the first part of treatment for my sweetie went well.
so well she was getting a little cocky about sailing through this mess.
she has gone to work almost as much as normal.
that has made her a terrible patient.
the second part i knew would be way worse and so far it has been.
monday , after getting the red chemo (really bad stuff it nearly killed me) she got wiped out for a couple of days .
then she felt better yesterday.
so against my advise marjorie went to work.
the thing is with chemo there will be days when you wake up and feel nearly normal.
if you are ever that sick you'll know how depressing it is to lie helpless in the bed.
so since you feel better you decide it's fine to act and live normally.
but you'll find out quick that things like driving exhaust you.
i warned marjorie about that but she's over 21.
she went to work "just for a couple of hours" .
she came home and basically collapsed in the chair.
i got her fed and she went to sleep two hours early.
today she felt better again and in the morning wanted to go grocery shopping.
i dis agreed and before she knew it i swiped her car and went myself.
by doing that she had to stay home and rest.
anyway it's gonna be a while before i can do much of anything but baby sit my sweetie
