KD is also feeling better and returning to his old self along with the weather. I now have to harass him to drink water and eat real food. If you're friends with him on Facebook, you'll have noticed his lunch of coffee fudge ice cream. Very healthy!
I suppose this adventurous spirit of his is a good thing but it means more work for me. I have to chase him down to be sure he takes his pills. And he's getting quite uppity about going to the clinic appointments. I suspect it will come down to a fight one morning soon.
It's too bad because he really needs to go. He's had a little reaction to the bandage that is taped over his PICC line site on his arm. He's got these yucky blistery things around the edges. They tell him to put hydrocortisone creme on them to keep the swelling down, but anyone who knows KD, knows he has little tolerance for anything itchy. I'm tempted to make him sleep in mittens so he doesn't itch the blisters raw and then gnaw off his arm in frustration.
Tuesday is a long day at Shands. Not looking forward to it. But then, neither of us are looking forward to next month and the start of the next cycle of chemo. It's the cranial radiation one, and it's kind of intimidating. Yoinks!
