This morning when Don went to radiation he told the doctor about his experience with the fall the other night. The doctor said that it was dehydration and was a common issue because most people don't drink enough fluid and so they experience something like that when a time comes that they need to pay attention to it. That was a relief to hear. You just never know what these things mean when you haven't experienced them before.
Also the doctor said that the cancer was already responding to the treatment so that is excellent as well. Nice to get some good news for a change.
Don seems to be feeling better today as well. He is in the office and I could hear him laughing with a client. It was nice to hear that big laugh he has. He is still tired from the radiation but not sick from the chemo. He will have 2 weeks to rest up before the chemo knocks him down again.
it's quite a roller coaster ride. And I don't much like roller coasters myself. I discovered that at an inopportune time - Neil, a friend of mine, talked me into going on the roller coaster in Las Vegas at the New York casino. It's the one at the top of the roof. Well I figured out that I hated roller coasters right in the middle if the first full upside down loop. Unfortunately, there were a couple more loops to go before I could get off. I see some similarities.
