Getting By

Today was my third round of radiation to my brain. I come back Monday and Tuesday next week. The side effucks from the new oral treatment meds continue – diarrhea, nausea, mouth sore and fatigue. I’m picking up a prescription mouth rinse today down here that should help with all the blisters inside my mouth.

My ride down in the truck with Dave was productive. I found an additional part time care giver for my mom. I am so relieved! My mom had a procedure at the local hospital and a cousin handled that instead of me. Bonus points for my cousin! We are repairing a waterway and dam and adding an additional waterway on the farm and that project should begin mid-July. I believe we are charged with being good stewards of nature.

My oasis got some boards and a fresh coat of paint. I’m hoping Dave can find someone to help get the furniture back on it tomorrow so I can get back to enjoying my peaceful place of healing. I guess I’m in my bold color phase of life. Green seems to fit an old farmhouse.

One thought on “Getting By

  1. the side effucis sound bad. I hope the mouth runs helps, and that there is something else for the nausea/diarrhea. Thinking of you! Hope the porch furniture gets back in place soon, and that the temps get more pleasant (it has been grossly hot and muggy in Chicago!) to enjoy your porch. I love the green!
