2nd Chemo Treatment for Dad

I sent this note to my cousin Teresa today.  It totally describes Dad's and my day yesterday.
Dad had his second treatment Wednesday. I was in Columbus Wednesday night and all day yesterday. Here's how bad it was - we had homemade sausage for breakfast - Dad makes his own. Someone from the church came at 10 to bring communion. I worked on his computer some. We went to lunch at an Irish pub. We went to Walgreens, Giant Eagle, back to Walgreens, the farmer's market, home, and back to Walgreens. I was exhausted, he was fine. After dinner, I was ready to go to bed, not make the 2 hour drive home!


He isn't getting nausea, and he isn't loosing his hair. He has a few small problems - but he's a busy guy!
 
I forgot to mention we changed the sheets on his bed, made hot slaw for dinner, and fixed pickled beets.
 
Here's a funny story about communion.  When Dad was about to receive communion, the lady from church asked if I would like communion also.  She said she only had 1 host, so we'd have to share.  Dad asked me - and I said in a teasing way - "It depends, if you don't want to share I'll wait until Sunday".  Dad said to the lady - "She'll wait until Sunday".  He wasn't sharing his Jesus with anybody.
