Kevin's Work Days

Kevin has been at work in Ohio this week.

He says he's feeling well. Tired but not extremely so. The headache and accompanying nausea are gone. His port itches and there are still red tape marks. That sensitive Irish skin may object mightily to this assault.

He's eating the meals I prepared. He worries about choosing the right things to eat so we decided to simply go with meals I prepare here at home. He carries a cooler to Ohio then freezes/reheats as needed. It's worked well for the 2 weeks we've done it.

Lunch meetings at work are a challenge but the people there are so good about being aware of his needs. There are several former cancer patients who know the drill. Along with the mid-morning/afternoon applesauce, he's taken a few of the ready to heat meals which don't require refrigeration for days he can't get away at lunchtime.

Our cabinets are suddenly full of single serving snacks, applesauce, pudding and juices.

There are a couple of people who check on him. Close the office door, sit down and say, "Now tell me how you're really doing" kind of checking. This eases my mind considerably and I am filled with gratitude.
