Coming to the end of a long week. I went down to see Dad tonight. He started the double dose of chemo last night, and when I asked him how he was feeling today, he looked at me quizzically and said "well...Pretty good...Why?" so I told him he started the chemo last night and he was really surprised. So, we agreed, no news is good news...:) Now he has 4 more days of the double dose, and then he will be off of them for 28 days.
He was pretty good tonight. My Mom was a little tired today, and the brightness is really bothering her eyes...Or eye. She says that even her dark sunglasses don't help. I am still struggling to get the referral to the neuro-opthamologist. I thought I had it all worked out, and UCSD called me today to tell me that the referral came over incomplete, and it would be another day or two until they can set the appointment. I swear...Can't something be easy?
Speaking of something being easy, I got a call from the Home Owner's Association today, and they are sending out their plumber to put a camera down into my main sewer line to check out the tree damage...But of course I have to wait for them to call to set up an appointment. Sheesh.
We go see Dr. Uhl again tomorrow. It is Dad's follow up on radiation. Not sure what it will all entail, but I know I want to be sure and discuss Dad's taste buds (not sure if he really doesn't want to eat, or if he just knows we will give him milkshakes and apple fritters anyway...). I also want to know when the MRI will be scheduled to see how successful these treatments have been. I am also a little surprised that Dad is so confused. I was hoping that when the swelling went down in his brain, he would be a little less confused with everything. When I got there tonight, he asked me how he was going to work tonight out. I asked what he meant, and he said "you know, I went there last night." I said "where?" He said "you know...up the hill." So I asked if he meant Barona, and he said yes, and when I asked him if he won anything, he said "no." Then he said, "if I did go up there, I went up there to eat, but now I am not sure if I went.." So, I said, "well, as far as I know, you were here last night." And with that, he said, "oh you are probably right." And that was it.
Maybe the doctor will have answers, maybe he won't...Guess we will just wait and see.
Love to all!
