Just thought i'd do an update on what's been happening. Ian went in for his chemo last Monday and has been in bed ever since. It has really taken it out of him. Up till Monday morning he was able to do some small jobs around the house meaning he had some quality of living. But once I brought him home on Tuesday all he could manage was to just get into bed. I knew he really wasn't feeling well when he asked me if I would do his meds for him. This was a bad sign as he never ever asks me to do anything for him, he will always try and do things for himself and would rather do without than ask for help. Which is daft because he knows I would always do anything for him. I think maybe he has come to terms with the fact that he can't do this on his own. I worry about how he is going to cope with this lot of chemo. Its not like when he was having his treatment, he was a lot stronger then. Nowadays he is just so weak and ill to start off with. Anyhow, I was off work for a week last week so we actually got ourselves into quite a pleasant routine. It takes about an hour to put all his meds down his Peg tube, the chemo tablets in themselves take over half an hour to dissolve!, so we would start them off while homes under the hammer was on. Tigger would come up and join us, making sure I am doing the job right! Once done we would all 3 snuggle up on the bed to comment on whether the new house owners had made a good job of them or not. Anyhow, I am back at work this week. His dad is coming up everyday so he is not 'home alone' I just wish I didn't have to go to work. But today is the start of a new week so he might start to feel a little better. Heres hoping.
