Mondays only remind me how much I dislike Mondays. And today was no exception.
Adele, Big Doug and I headed over to the doctors office around 10:30am for some lab work followed by a "TEACH" session. This basically involves the doctor explaining the course of Chemotherapy Adele would be receiving.
For almost an hour we sat and listened to the good, the bad and everything in between. Mrs. Woodford, a very dear family friend who also happens to be an RN kindly offered to join us for this discussion. She was a wealth of knowledge as well as a great emotional comfort through out the morning.
There is no start date for the Chemo as of yet. The port still needs to be put into place and a few more tests need to be done before we get the green light on Chemo.
Towards the end of the visit the doctor noticed that Adele was a bit dehydrated. And with the second port attempt coming up tomorrow afternoon the doctor thought it best to rehydrate her with some intravenous fluids before going home.
Adele was extremely tired form the days events but otherwise just fine. Tomorrow is going to be another long day so it's off to bed for us. We love you all so very much and a great BIG thank you to all of Adele's visitors this weekend.
I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.
