Chemotherapy #2.
Kevin is tired and has a headache again. The predicted cold sensitivity is growing in his mouth and fingers.
Kate was with him at the clinic today; she doesn't have class on Mondays. Kevin could manage on his own but I want someone with him to ask the questions he's too tired to ask, to hear what he misses and generally remind him that he's not alone.
It was good that she went. I wanted a different perspective on how things are done there. And I think it's important for the girls to see firsthand what he is going through.
Kate's observations were similar to mine from two weeks ago. A lot of unnecessary waiting that extends his day and wears on him.
Kevin came home and laid down for 30 minutes. Beyond the effects of the drugs, the entire experience of going to the clinic just exhausts him.
He's eating ok and continuing to walk twice a day when possible. He had a conference call late this afternoon which did as much as anything to get him awake and animated! Work is great therapy for Kevin. He loves what he does and he does it well. Work invigorates him and lets him focus beyond what is going on inside his body.
