Rich's Journal: Adventures with Life and Sharp things

[Graybeard57]

Kristi is approaching the second week of her treatments. The anti-nausea drugs they added to her infusion are quite worn off so she is carefully timing her meds to keep the queasiness at bay. So far no chunkage. I learned she is not always taking all her poison pills. I don’t quite know what to think about that. I want her to have minimal misery, but also want the therapy to be effective. We have a follow up with her oncologist on the 17th. We will see if the trajectory of the therapy is altered.

Glad Kristi is keeping clear of nausea so far. I had no oral chemo to contend with, so I don’t know much about them other that they are GENERALLY better tolerated than IV chemos. However, the cumulative effects are unknown to me. Glad you’re seeing the oncologist soon. Be well, Rich, and have faith during these incredibly challenging times. A day at a time, an hour at a time if need be. Supporting Kristi is your only job now.

I had intended to record today’s shave, but somehow I didn’t notice it wasn’t happening until after I finished. It was a fresh blade and got a near BBS from 2 + passes. I’m using 63 a lot , but that will change in a couple of weeks. I do plan on a couple of seasonal shaves to be added to the accumulator.

Things remained pretty much the same with Kristi. She’s taking the nausea meds by the clock since the infusion wore off. Her appetite is pretty ok, but she only eats a bit at a time. I’m planning on a rotation of foods I can keep on hand, either hot or easily warmed, so she can graze. After next week we will hav3 a week off the poison so we can see how she will feel during the next couple of cycles. I may record something so the parts I was successful in making won’t go to waste.
