Went to southern IN for the weekend. Ended up staying Friday and Saturday evening. Roger met the the mechanic at the boat Saturday morning. I stayed at my 'rent's river house and worked on tax stuff (yep, still doing that crap). Roger over did it....big time. Stayed at the boat until about 7pm and really just overdid it. Its not so much that he's lift heavy stuff but more standing too long, bent over too much, simply doing too much. And as mentioned before there is a fine line with what I can say and what I can't say (i.e. nag nag nag). He's a grown up. Right? Well, not always. Anyway, he over did it and basically had to load up on meds and then slept the evening away. Which was fine because I had plenty of work to do.
Boat motor is progressing well. Very well. Roger is super pleased. Next weekend is turkey hunting weekend (whatever that means) so mechanic wont be down. So motor won't be done until the following weekend most likely. Still record fast compared to the first motor so its all good unless you are a turkey. AND, we aren't even close to summer yet, soooooo its fine the motor isnt done yet.
We ended up at my folks house back in Indy this afternoon for bunny day. Had a bunch of laughs, food, and more laughs. Attached are photos of the family: my brother and sister-in-law and 4 kids and my mom and dad...and of course...my most favorite person (who also makes me craziest). The serious photo is so NOT any of us. The crazy whacky photo is SOOOOOO us. Tomorrow we meet with Roger's oncologist, Dr. Birhiray. He has been the "quarterback" throughout this whole journey. I think the meeting will be to touch base and see how Roger weathered radiation, schedule the next scan and then talk next steps. I'm anxious and numb all at the same time. Is that possible?
Roger is doing ok. He is pooped (understatement) and his poor poor poor skin on his head is angry. Little blisters from the "sunburn" of radiation. We have this 1st and 2nd degree burn cream for radiation patients that we've started putting on his skin. This evening as I was dabbing it on his skin, all around his head, I noticed on the fabric of his chair tufts of hair...sigh....hurts my heart to even think of it let alone see the hair. Again, its not cuz Roger has this big ol' head of hair but more what it represents....and as I said previously, I love love to run my hand over his head to feel the peach fuzz. Anyway, that's all I can say about that.
I told Roger we needed to go to bed early tonight. Too many late nights and we both are worn out. As I post here, I notice the time ticking away (so much for early to bed) and as I look over the top of my laptop, I see my tiny, fragile husband slumping over asleep. So, I'm going to sign off for now. Will post again tomorrow after our meeting with the doctor.
Hope you all ate the ears off your chocolate bunnies and had a peaceful happy day. hugs, a
