Appreciate all the encouragement about the voice. SOMETIMES I think the prospect of some quiet time will be wonderful, but in honesty I'll admit that I love that he is generally so talkative. I never feel left 'out of the loop' when he gets home from work.
He DOES have a really hard time several times a day getting his throat cleared....I didn't expect anything like that for awhile. He also had a sip of wine, which he promptly realized was not a good thing!
The skin on his neck is beginning to blister a bit, also earlier than I expected. We are keeping it 'greased' in order to alleviate any pain we can.
I'm also really happy to hear that so many of you were able to continue your work....He's done pretty well in getting into the office so far, and I hope that will continue as it does great things for his overall well-being.

I've got my fingers crossed for the rest of this chemo round - - since he's not taking those nasty chemo pills, this weekend is LOTS better than the previous rounds. Guess I'd best wait until tomorrow to jump to conclusions, but I think he'll get through this week much better.

QUESTION - as I didn't think to ask the Doc...
Does anyone know if they would want to stick another chemo infusion into the mix since they took him off thr 2-week course of pills that followed the Cisplatin? I got a funny 'fear' the other day that if he's not going 'full-strength' on the chemo, that something bad might not get killed...............

I feel like everything up to this point has been practice, and the real game is about to kick off.
I truly do appreciate all of you and your help.

We are having a gorgeous weekend (if a bit windy) after rain/storms/tornadoes all day and night on Friday. Tomorrow is going to be glorious so I'll get out and MOW THE GRASS!
Lucky me

Night-night all!
