Well, not much to report today. Which is a great thing :-)
He's started taking pills to get him more phosphate. Seems like they make him tired and groggy for a while afterward. Either that or he ate a big lunch and needed to sleep it off, not unlike a boa constrictor digesting. The nurses did say that he was also to drink chocolate milk to get his phosphate, so that's probably the best prescription he's gotten so far.
Between the patches of weird weather today, he got out in the sun and walked about a bit. He was actually sore today from all of the walking around yesterday. He's just go no muscles left at all. It seems mean, but I'm trying to drag him out to walk a bit so he can get some exercise.
Tomorrow is another day of out-patient stuff, which means drawing blood for labs and then waiting to see if they want to give him anything for whatever his blood is lacking. After the bone marrow biopsy on Monday, they'll be starting another cycle of chemo. This means another drop in his blood strength, and probably a dip in his immune system again. With any luck, the results from the biopsy will come in quickly and show that the cancer cells are all dying off or dead.
In the mean time, it's a struggle to keep his spirits up. He tends to brood when he's got nothing interesting to occupy his time. And he's been brooding (and sulking a little) for a few days now. Not that he doesn't have the right to do that. But he tends to get himself worked up over little things he can't control instead of the BIG ASS BASTARD THINGS that deserve to get worried over.

KD I'm thinking of you and hope that you are doing OK. I'm still in Chemo myself and know that it is no fun, to say the least. But you are a good strong guy and will make it through. You look good with your head shaved, I thought I would shave my head also, but the Chemo I get didn't make me lose my hair. Drink lots of water and get your evercise that will help alot.
Luv you, Shyama Priya
