Love is..... Having a tomorrow to share
Tuesday week 12
Clinic yesterday and all is great so far with Colin. Left by 12.30 which is almost a record. Popped in to see Daphne and Colin and bonus Julie and Pete were there. Had afternoon tea. Amazing to begin getting back to socialising just a little. Colin's sisters visited Thursday. Sandra and Kevin, Viv and Steve visited on Friday. Crystal and Sam visited on Sunday. A whirlwind of visitors.
Colin is walking 2 km and we are managing most days now weather is warmer and there is a Window of clear sky.
Hair
Can't believe it had taken 3 months for even a show of hair growth on his head . That last round of chemo was really toxic. I can just barely see the growth but you can feel it. It is growing back a different texture this time almost like a five o'clock shadow. Still grey. I wondered why my hair is so grey but saw on tv that it is due to stress. That is why it increased this year then. Damn.
Thursday
I have a grasp on what to cook given the restrictions for transplant and diabetes. I have loosened up on the transplant lists as Colin's blood levels are so good. Basically cutting out added sugar and lowering Glycemic index. (but I ate some lemon cake for breakfast - it was so oo good) Friend has recommended a cancer recovering book which recommends more foods and supplements. Barry Thomson Defeat Cancer Twice. Colin is not keen and I have heaps more reading and research. Not introducing anything yet due to the transplant and he can't stomach any more tablets at present. A work in progress.
Colin was feeling sick after lunch because we are playing with the anti nausea drugs. Got it sorted now but don't want what happened last time
