When they say it will be a short visit. It is a lie.

So, we are home now. That would mean were have been gone. I went to work on Wednesday A.m. and met Mary-Elizabeth at the Hem/Onc clinic for a nurse visit and an asparagus shot. Well, we were able to come home on Saturday about 3:00 p.m. So much for an hour appointment. We are unpacking and pre-packing for the next time we go for "an hour".

We had to learn how to handle the first of many side-effects of the Chemo. No, she has her hair, her cheeks are not round and rosy, her blood sugar (BS) is elevated and now we are dealing with testing 5 times a day and two insulin shots a day. Oh, well. We are trying to take it in stride.

I am beginning to understand some of the lingo.
a: We will be there soon = before you die we will drop by and chat.
b: I want to keep her overnight= Maybe you will see your home before you die.
c: We will be changing your diet=Have as much sugar and fat as you want.

All and all we are doing great. Work has been great. I am working on working at home. M-E is getting ready for school and will be there as much as possible.

She is off to test her blood sugar right now. What a trooper. She would like everyone to know that her favorite part of this whole process is her One Touch Ultra machine, like on t.v. and getting put to sleep on Monday's for her chemo. She also loves the cards and presents and balloon and good thoughts everyone has been sending.

Week 2 of more than I can count.
I realized this morning that it had been just two weeks. It feels like much more than that.
