LAST DAY FOR ORAL CHEMO
Today Lou took her last 5 pills to complete this round of oral chemo. She says it must be working because her stomach is really hurting along with some back pain. She did eat a little bit more today but not much. She is constipated again and although she eats fruit she is taking milk of magnesia tonight. She has been taking 4 pain pills a day. The Texas Oncology pharmacist called today. They had said that they would call the second day of this chemo. Lou hasn't had too many problems with the chemo. She had some fever in the mornings but none today. She is lethargic and rests a lot. She is cold. Last night was below freezing all night and about 3 a.m. she asked me to put another blanket on the bed. Yesterday I started the fireplace and she has me keeping it going when she is in the living room. It is supposed to warm up to 61 tomorrow. This morning the pond was frozen over as were the bird baths until the afternoon.
From the literary standpoint Lou is having a hard time with C. S. Lewis in his essays. She says he is too intellectual for her in some places. She read Mere Christianity and Screwtape Letters but now is in another one that may be his essay on miracles. She is also reading the book that Sylvia Grider left her that Sylvia's book club is reading. Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. She wasn't impressed when she started it but says that it has good psychological insights but is nothing but conversations and letters. The main theme is mothers getting their daughters into a good marraige at the upper crust of England. She says she is glad she didn't live then. She says that it doesn't have much action and I asked her if it could be classified as a marraige mystery.
I am trying to catch up on my reading of books for the CP Library that I need to review. I did get my column written.
Keep Lou in your prayers.
