TGIF

Thank God It's Friday!

We have made it to the end of another week. Even though this cycle of chemo was much "easier" than the last one, it was still physically exhausting for Johnny and emotionally exhausting for me.

We are still in the learning curve for this chemo biz and keep adding to our list of things for "next time". For instance, the dressing they put over the port for when he comes home with the pump is super-strength sticky. For his first round of chemo, he was freshly shaved from his port placement surgery. This time, his hair had grown back and it was super painful to remove the dressing. We will shave the whole area from now on. Have you ever seen those funny home videos or the "Jackass" show when they use wax to remove hair from a guys back/stomach? Yeah, it was like that. Ooops.

Tomorrow will be one month since his diagnosis. This has been the fastest and slowest month ever, simultaneously.

Many thanks to everyone for their kind thoughts and condolences over the death of my Aunt Theresa. The Lord doesn't give us more than we can handle, right?

I just asked Johnny if there was anything that he wanted me to add. He wants me to thank everyone again for the continued calls and visits. Seriously, we love when friends come over just to chat. A dear friend and cancer survivor stopped over last night and it really meant a lot to Johnny. (Thanks, Don!) So, if you feel like stopping over, just give us a ring and if he's up to it, we would love to see you! I have plenty of wine to share and wood for the fire pit on the deck. We have spent a lot of time on the deck this summer which totally validates my "stimulus check" purchase!
