Here I am finding myself exhausted on a Monday evening after running around all day today. Finally sitting down for a break but knowing how much stuff I have to do around the house before I can go to sleep. I once again am hoping for Daniel’s labs results that I took to the hopistal first thing this morning to be low enough that I will be able to reduce one of his IV meds to once a day rather than two. I am starting to get more than a little concerned about the length of time and beating this drug is taking on his kidneys and bone marrow. That being said Daniel has been feeling pretty good. A bit less energy than he had had before his ANC has been so low again (reminder: due to virus drug) and he is not really working on any reconditioning exercises at all. I think because he is tiring so easily and gets sore so easily. I am sure it will all resolve itself as the virus leaves his body. I hope this is starting with tomorrow evening’s test results.
Running some errands today I realized how beautiful it was outside and recognized all signs of spring in the air. Spring is time for renewal and fresh starts. I would say spring cleaning but I am forever cleaning. I have cleaned out every corner, cabinet and drawer in our home so now it is just constant surface cleaning and when I mean constant, mean constant. I no longer have things clutter my counters but can honestly say I miss being able to open the door for fresh air. We can’t do that because Daniel can’t openly breath the outdoor air without wearing a mask and it is certainly not fair to make him sit in the house and have to wear his mask. Just as we are starting to be able to venture out to a select few restaurants that we know are safe and clean enough for Daniel to eat at, we are confronted with one of the best parts of Colorado and it’s glorious weather. Every restaurant has open air eating. This creates an issue for us, because Daniel can’t be outside without his mask. Mask on= No eating. Crap. We know how Daniel likes to eat and these lunch dates at off hours were becoming a very nice little break for us, now we are losing this. Poor kid is probably so sick of my pathetic attempt at cooking. I DO NOT want to hope for rain people, but next time the weather turns bad, give us a call and we can go for lunch. April showers bring mamas ounce of sanity.
