Rob's been through his third chemo. He's tired, but doing okay, but then the buffering drugs are about to run out, so he expects he'll feel worse in the morning ( Read more... )

I went in this morning to wake Delia up for church. She was groggy, and I stared down at her in sort of a stupor and then put my head down and rested my ear on her chest. 'I can hear your heartbeat,' I said quietly.

And then I started to cry.

I have been so sick for so long. I'm not depressed. But my body is giving out. I went off some medication ( Read more... )

I've lost a lot of ground. I feel as if I've aged ten years. I started to get up some today, although I sometimes stop, hunched over in agony at the pain in my chest as I cough. Pulled muscles, the doctor suggested, or perhaps even inflamed ribcage cartilege. Coughing bloody hurts. Or I stop because I'm dizzy and have to sit down, just from the ( Read more... )

I was sick, first with fever, chills, aches and then a day later with other nasty stuff (don't ask) until about 1:00 a.m. last night/this morning. So there was no question of going back to work today. I am doing better now, though. Only symptoms left today were headache and incredible weakness. I finally managed to totter out of bed this ( Read more... )

is negative. Well, she could still have mono, in the early stages, too early for it to show up on the test. But hopefully not. Anyway, clearly she has some virus that is making her feel punk. We hope she will shake it quickly. Fingers crossed ( Read more... )

We have an appointment for Delia with the doctor tomorrow to get tested for mono, too. Yeah, they can't DO anything. But at least we would have a diagnosis to help us deal with the school ( Read more... )
