Tomorrow is a big day for Brian. We meet with the chemo doctor for the first time, then meet with the radiation doctor again to have a "simulation" appointment. He then goes for a Pet Scan after that. I'm a little nervous about that - afraid they will find more cancer. The hardest thing about all this is to try and stay positive when you're scared to death. All the "what ifs" run through your mind constantly. I try and keep as busy as possible, but reality unfortunately kicks me in the butt every once in a while.
Brian has been remarkably strong through all this. He's my rock and always has been. He had a slight melt down the other night when our electric went out, it was pouring down sleet/rain and the generator was in the shed, he finally got it out only to find it wouldn't start. We finally got it started and the plug shorted out . . . but we finally got it all to work about midnight that night. Still don't have power, but we have heat. I'm worried about him, he's slowing down a little bit, but he never complains about anything. He's tickled about his new "toy" that his sister Lori bought him - an IPOD. He's been laying on the couch listening to that, so I know he enjoys that - THANKS LORI!!
Thanks again to all my friends and family for all your support! We couldn't do this without all of you! I have had so many offers of making food for the kids while we're gone! They will be eating better than us :o)
Love,
Dalene
We've had a few choice words for our generator too. I am ready for a good long hot shower and a morning when I wake up and my nose is not like a popsicle. I will be praying for Brian tomorrow especially. I loved the guaze/lip story!
