We're still trying out the fit of un-chemotherapy day; we've expanded the celebration to include the entire treatment period that had become our norm for this week.
In keeping with the un-ness of the week:
***Kevin did not wake last night to answer nature's urgent call only to be jerked back by the anchor of a chemotherapy pump attached to IV tubing, attached to huber needle imbedded in his chest.
***Our normal household smells are not intertwined with the weird chemical smell that goes with chemotherapy week.
***There is an empty space where the hazardous medical waste container used to reside.
***I'm not baking sweets today in order to coax Kevin into eating.
***There is no tray of goodies assembled to take to the clinic tomorrow because there is no Friday visit at the clinic for Neulasta.
***There was no morning phone call from the home care nurse before she stopped in.
***Kevin isn't wearing his usual Thursday tattoo of chemotherapy week--sticky tape residue and red welts.
Welcome to the newest version of our new "normal"--it's going to take a little time to figure out!
