Tomorrow

[crowdog66]

Tomorrow I go over to my mother's place for the day, to do some cleaning for her, do laundry, and cook up a pork roast and veggies. She's been having a hard time keeping food down, even Ensure. I am starting to get quite worried. Will call the Cancer Care center tomorrow and talk to them about it.

Feeling insecure and frightened right now, hoping that I manage to handle everything well without making things worse for my mom.

On the other hand, it turns out that my "free with the calling plan" cellphone does almost everything except make coffee in the morning. I've set up some speed dial numbers and put appointments in the scheduler to remind me when my mom should be taking her chemo "buffer" medications.

Thanks to everyone for all their words of advice and support.

Hang in there. Remember, you're doing the best you can and no one can expect anything more than that. Anything done with love will never make things worse.

Its unpleasant but fairly normal for people to be nauseated by chemo. The drugs are very powerful and not easy on the body. Hang in there.
