Middle day--translates to "sleep was elusive last night and will be again tonight." I think Kevin finally dropped off around 2 a.m. this morning. The headache is really wearing on him and the neuropathy is increasing.
Four or five liters of water a day to hurry the drugs through his system mean hourly wake up calls when he does finally fall asleep. Exhaustion means he forgets to grab the infusion pump as he stumbles out of bed. Six feet of IV tubing away and he is jerked back to reality like a dog on a chain.
It's a darkly funny scene when he is feeling well and heart breaking when he is not.
He does a good job of pushing through the worst of the side effects most of the time, but he's done in this time. Just plain exhausted from the fight.
Hopefully we'll see things start to improve by the weekend.
