Steve was Deb's nurse today. He is very good and is the only male nurse in the chemo infusion center. The lady nurses are always playing pranks on him.
He has a Christian band and plays churches and events most weekends.
Now that nasty old chemo is really going to town on Deb and she has all the bad symptoms of chemo hitting her hard. The next few weeks will be tough. She is woozy and getting around like a feeble grannie women. Pray that she will not fall and that she can endure these bad affects.
Because she still needs meds, they sent us home with three five-hour infusers for me to hook up. We just finished two if them and I put the last one on. It was hard for Deb to get around with the two, one hooked to her arm, the other hooked to her upper chest, so, she pulled off her new hat and used it to make an infuser nest! Good thinking!
Tomorrow its back the chemo clinic for another day of it. The APNs are really watching her because she is so prone to pneumonia.
I'm making a grocery/pharmacy list and about to head out for a few minutes. Deb's appetite is very poor and she has requested English muffins for supper. I need something a little better ;)
Been doing laundry and hope to get the place vacuumed later. Our new vacuum has HEPA filters so hopefully we can get the place better sanitized as the neutrapenia overtakes Deb.
All it will take is just one little germ in the wrong place to give her fits as her immune system drops to zero for several weeks.
