Round 1: First Chemo Treatment

October 17th 2012

 

Daddy had is first round of treatment today and then tried to convince Mom he was going hunting, yeah right! Jared drew out for some type of hunt, not sure what this means exactly but its a big deal and Daddy has been looking forward to going with him for sometime. So He and Mom have compromised and they will be leaving Friday to spend some time with Jared's Family down in the Fish Lake area. As far as how he is feeling today after his treatment, no adverse side effects so far, he seems to be feeling pretty good, which of course automatically makes him think that they didn’t give him the right treatment, (uhhh hello JARED or CHRIS). He must be in some kind of mood though because when I called him late this afternoon to see how he was doing he tried to convince me something was wrong by answering the phone and moaning "Becky...is that you? Oh Becky, somethings wrong. moan moan moan!!!" Nice try Daddy, but I know better, and even though he has a sense of humor about this right now so far the rest of us are all still very nervous and uncertain as to what to expect. In our Chemo Class they told us it is usually not until the day or two following the treatment that he would begin to feel the side effects so I guess for now we continue with the wait and see approach. Even though none of us are too fond of this anymore it really is all we can do; that and play scrabble. Which I have to say, these recent events haven't seemed to change much about how Daddy strategises and plays games, and that is to CHEAT!!!! An example of this would be tonight when he tried to spell the word, "YucaPlant." Interesting how certain he was that none of us would challenge that word. He even had his own definition to share with us, "the plant of the Yuca Indians, how could we have not know that? Lets just say we had a good laugh about it but in the end always remember Cheaters never Prosper in the world of SCRABBLE!!!!!
