IC, Thanx for asking about me. I haven't been testing my H as much as of late, it's more like quizzes, and he's been ace-ing them. He has grown too---he's not as sensitive to my pushing away tactics, and I guess I still do the pushing away stuff to see if he really does want me. Makes a whole lot of sense, huh.
Soon I'll be going to Israel, and my son is causing me grief by not studying his stuff. My folks are holding steady at the assisted living in Florida, but I miss them a whole bunch. I have the office ( yay), but will have to delay opening til around March, for various reasons.
The dpression hawk is still hovering, circling and descending, and I really haven't filled in H about this. I'm thinking I can shoo it away, but if you have your hunting gun out, can you take a few shots at it?
I had pizza last night with the kids, and I hear that was the dish served up at the IC household, so... no need to repeat. I didn't even have a beer...
Ted is pretty good, I suppose, but I'm more of a Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn fan... I'm big into Led Z, White Stripes and Wolfmother right now... and when I'm not into them, I'm listening to jazz, new age and Boccelli. No accounting for some people's musical tastes, huh?
Sounds like you emerged from the chemo a bit better this time... glad to hear it.

A little pop quiz every now and then can be expected...how else are we gonna grow and learn. As far as the pushing away..eh, just roll with it...I think we all go through phases of pushing the other away, it's the being open to allowing them back in is what's important...and having an understanding spouse that can back away and not be so sensitive to know that this too shall pass. {and him knowing that under that robe is a fine little HSA doesn't hurt either }

Enjoy the trip and be safe RJ! I've seriously entertained the thought of moving the IC's nearer to Miss IC's parents. I know she misses them a lot. But we're pretty well entrenched here in our own little safe haven...that and I'm not sure South Florida is prepared for my type again Can't wait to hear the stories of this business venture of yours take flight I know it will be a success. Amongst other things going on in my life, I'm thinking of jumping back into the world of entreprenuership once this cancer has it's little short-lived bask in the limelight. Had a pretty successful business when I lived in Florida and somehow I got roped back into the 9-5 routine...sorry, not my cup of tea..Hell, I don't even like tea

RJ !!! Sorry RJ, no guns here and don't you know it's illegal in most areas to hunt hawks! Ohhh what the hell ! What's a few days in jail for a friend {as IC nocks up his finest arrow and takes aim}
{mumble..mumble..great, just great..isn't this just typical, bullfrog is all for fun in the back room of the pet store...make the commitment to bring it home and BAM..honeymoons over..sheesh!! hmmmm, I'm thinking deep fried frog legs for dinner}

Sheesh ! What's it take to get a beer around here? Beer and a nice, thick, cheesy, oozing, greasy pizza....Oh man, might make that my first celebration meal once I get the all clear thumbs up from the doc ! And then I'll go across the street and check back into the hospital for that coronary bi-pass surgery

You suppose! you suppose! "I suppose" she says. Come on...59 years old and still rocks the house! If he ever does it again, try to attend one of his New Years Eve whiplash bash concerts in Detroit..{ahh yes, fond memories } Stevie Ray and Jimi, now there's some guitars with attitude...a girl after my own heart. There's only one problem...ok two problems..they're both dead!

Yea, interesting concept...anti-nausea meds work wonders when they're not being dry-heaved into the toilet
....My folks are holding steady at the assisted living in Florida, but I miss them a whole bunch....
(((((( Journey )))))) I know just how you feel with my dad's condition and being so far away. Journey, I fully understand if you're not comfortable, but my e-mail is listed in my profile. IC is very understanding, but sometimes I would just like to talk with someone that is in a like situation...a shoulder to cry on that understands what it's like
PS. Southern Girl, wherever you're at...big thumbs up to ya on getting the anti-nausea meds in sooner
Glad to be of use. You guys should insist they always do that from now on. Makes a big difference, or so I'm told.
Southern Girl, I don't want to jump on IC's post to you, I just happened to be on here when your reply popped up Actually, we didn't do the IV anti-nausea thing like one of your suggestions. But I did make him take a couple doses of the Zofran prior to the chemo treatment and we tried to time it to where we thought it would pretty well be in his system compared to when he first started getting sick from the 1st chemo treatment. I think we hit it pretty darn close...IC still got sick, but nowhere near what it was like the 1st go around
It was 3 or 4 days the last time before IC even felt like eating and I think that, coupled with the chemo's effect on his system, pretty much drained him physically and emotionally. I know he's still going to hit those tired spells, but at least he's eating today and maybe with the nourishment, he won't feel so drained. {fingers crossed}
