Done with Week 4 - On To Week 5

It's Marjie again - We are done with Week 4 (20 fractals done, and actually we either have 13 or 15 fractals to go) and I am so glad. We had a significant weather change on Friday - the temperatures dropped 20 degrees Thursday night between 8:30 and 9:30, and we woke up Friday to the temps in the 30's (Thursday's high was 86 degrees). With the low temps also came the gray and rain...and Dave's mood followed the trend of the weather - gray and gloomy. He is getting tired of the thick spit - which is getting to the point that he almost gags on it trying to clear his throat. The fact that food still taste's awful and he has no desire to experiment to find something passable. It's a chore just eating scrambled eggs. The new meds that Dr. Amin prescribed also make him nauseous. The bottom line is that he is just tired of this - and it is pretty much 100% mental attitude now. As the pictures below show his mood:
His neck is still doing well - just starting to get red, but no blisters or open sores. He has been very good about putting the cream on his neck. I just wish he was a diligent at taking his meds.
Saturday Dave remained in a somewhat gloomy mood, puttered around the garage for a little while, and then sat down and watch the NASCAR race. Took a dip in the Hot Tub before bed - hoping to relieve his spirits.

Here it is Sunday, and although he is up and about he is not in the mood to do much of anything - least of all update the Blog. He did however spend some time reading through his email - the comments on the blog, and visited the Tonsil Cancer Support Group pages. I'll get him outside and moving today. We picked up 4 trees on Friday - a birch, two dwarf peach, and a willow tree to plant in the back yard. We need to get it done before we get the sprinkler system in. Then I am on the search for 6 or so half whiskey barrels to start the garden up again, or I'll have to convince Dave to build a raised garden bed in the back yard. Either way - it is March and time to get the yard going.
