Dad's 3rd treatment hit him a little harder than the others, about 2-3 days afterwards he was feeling really tired. He thinks it might have been that combined with a water pill he took for his ankle which has been swelling. They say drinking lots of water helps reduce symptoms by washing the chemo through your system - maybe the water pill conteracted his water intake???
He's feeling much better now, 4 days out.
Oh, huge THANK YOU to Lori (and grandpa's little helper Sami) who were out here for over a month and were a lot of help (we are all particularly grateful for the sloppy chicken meals - yummy!). Dad really misses Sami helping make the bed, not to mention.....put out the dogs, bring in the dogs, put out the dogs, bring in the dogs.....
Next week Thursday - Friday, we are going to Branson for 2 nights, since Dad said he wants to go - though if he is not feeling well, we can always cancel out. We'll just drive around town and check out the lights, and relax in the 2-bedroom suite (timeshare we've stayed at before).
Dad has the normal follow-up bloodwork on Tuesday, so our biggest challenge is getting the dogs to the kennel!
Ok, great to hear everone is doing well! We are both getting new glasses so we can see the Christmas lights. Having Christmas here so you are all invited. Love& Kisses.
