MONDAY

Sometimes it is difficult to blog; not because I'm too busy, but because the days seem to blend together, or because there are days I want to forget. When I came into Dave's room today he was feverish and didn't know if it was morning or night. He has been without fevers for days now, so they will be investigating the cause. He had a swallowing evaluation this morning and did okay with that. Swallowing doesn't seem to be the issue as to why he won't eat. I, as well as the nurses, are encouraging him to be more diligent. He is, otherwise, tolerating the chemo treatments quite well. He still never complains and only gets upset with me when I get upset about his eating.

Blogs are great to keep everyone informed, but I do tend to use it as a journal for my own benefit. It's hard to know where the line is between what people need to know and what is coming from my own emotions. I do know that Dave has tremendous strength. There is no way I could go through what he has. He said this was going to be a "bumpy ride", but he never mentioned the "finish line", because he isn't going to give up.

We had a great weekend with Molly, Jeff, Sully and Stella. Dave perks up when he sees family and friends. Dave loved the foot massage, compliments of Molly. This coming weekend, Rachel, Bob, Jourdan and Grif will be back and, possibly, Dave's brother, Mark.
