Making Goal

Sunday night after our 4 day Thanksgiving weekend.

We did the family meal. We did the day after shopping. We went to a movie.

We took a nap. Then another one. Kevin cat napped off and on throughout the weekend. The extra days off before this treatment have been a boost to his body and his morale. We are over the bump of defeat for the moment.

This evening we came back to real time and began the preparations for chemotherapy tomorrow. Nair around Kevin's port to ease some of the tape pulling. Pack a bag with a snack, juice and a couple of water bottles. Gather up something to read for the 3 1/2, no 5+, hours we'll be at the clinic. Write a check for the co-pay.

Getting ready for another chemo knock-down is always a little depressing. Kevin is just starting to feel well again and it's time to beat him down once more. It's easy to get caught up in the disappointment.

Kevin is feeling positive tonight though. He's accomplished a goal. After the weeks of indecision about chemotherapy he made it a goal, a promise, to get through these 4 treatments. This week he will have done that and done it well. He is still on his feet and thankful.
