Dec 8: Day 4-5

It's Marjie again and early Friday morning. Thanks again for all the comments, emails, and thoughts, I've been reading them to Dave since he hasn't had the energy or desire to sit down to the computer or play on the laptop. Dave had another rotten day, yesterday. I can't say that it will be our worse, because I am not looking forward to January, but pretty much, he is miserable, and thus grumpy. Still has the nausea, fatigue, aches and is constantly wondering is this really worth it. Of course the answer is yes - but it is hard when you are going through it. I think that I am going to have to do a little more research on ways to combat his symptoms for the next round...spending 4 days on the couch feeling miserable is not the way to do it. On a good note, it is Friday and we get to turn in the pump this afternoon, he gets the Neulasta shot tomorrow, and then we are clear until after Christmas. It's my chance to get him back whole and strong again - physically and mentally. I wish he had an indoor hobby that would distract him for dwelling on his symptoms. We'll find it - other than complaining, although I should know that if he is complaining then things should be alright. Thank the Lord, that this is only temporary situation.
Overall David and I are still pressing on with other things. David finished all his college applications last night, so all we have to do is wait for their response, and file our financial aid application right after the new year. I am about done painting the shower portion of the master bath - was working on the trim yesterday, when I had to stop to wash Coho. Since Dave changed the shower head in the shower, washing the dog is not that difficult, just still a little messy - dog hair and water almost everywhere. So had to do a little cleaning, and I'll finish it up this morning. Well the sun and David are about up, so another day begins in the Vigal home. Take care, and God bless.

Hey Marjie, Wow, this is such an incredibly difficult challenge. I pray for strength, wisdom & peace for all of you, and with the end of round two, that Dave recovers from the ravages of the Chemo as quickly as possible.

Wish I could help you out with the house work (I know how high Dave's standards are). You are doing an amazing job juggling Dave, David and your career but I had no doubt that you would.

Kendall and I both miss you and you are in our thought and prayers daily. Love to you all!
