So today was another “cancer” experience with mom. It started with dad taking mom to the clinic to get her port put in, the procedure went well and there were no problems. Now she is blessed to have a new accessory!!! I relieved dad so he could go back to work around lunch time, I brought mom lunch and a gift from her small group, a kindle!!! Maybe next week she can stay awake long enough to read it. She was beginning to get tired and wanted to sleep, so I left and went home. 3 hours later I got a call from dad saying she was ready to be picked up and that she is a little out of it and someone will have to stay with her until he got home. Well, when I got there, her friend Jan was with her and filled me in that she had been nauseous so they gave her some really good meds, which made her really sleepy and a little loopy. This brings me to today’s funny story. You know mom has been in too many hospital recently, because when she sat up to leave she slurs “make sure you get my clear plastic bag with my clothes” and Jan and I are like “huh”? Then mom looks down at her clothes and goes “ohh I am wearing my clothes”! Mom has been so used to wearing hospital gowns and having to change. I thought this was a funny story and I am sure there will be more to come.
We are hoping that mom will be one of those few who don’t get any side effects but I am going to bet if there is a symptom to get, mom will get it!!! But we can all pray!!! We hope that mom has a great week and she will be back again doing it next week with a new concoction of drugs! Stay strong mom, you’re are doing awesome, God, friends and family are with you at all times!
