almost two down and one to go

So Don is in his second chemo treatment today.  I went by at lunch and he was a happy camper because his arm was bothering him so they gave him vicodin.  All smiles and kind of goofy.  Probably the best way to be in that room with all those other bald people.  It makes me realize how lucky we are that we are having to go through this without the negative prognosis some of these other people have.  There are plenty of way worse stories in that room.  Most likely Don won't be thinking that when he is sick as a dog tomorrow.

They weighed him in at the dr office yesterday and he has lost more weight so we got in trouble.  he has to do more of the hospital drinks and still try to eat.  He can eat just fine, but he says it all tastes terrible.  So that isn't much fun, especially for such a foodie as Don is.  and he says wine tastes terrible to so no more going into the wine cabinet for those expensive bottles of wine (anything over $20) until he can taste them again.  The think about him losing weight is that he really needed to and he looks great.  Today I brought him a Wendy's burger, fries and a milk shake.  I can't tell you the last time I could eat like that!!

So here he is spending the day in the hospital barco lounger.  And here are his green Ikea shoes that he always wears to these things.
