Wow today has been a DOOZY! Last night I'd say I had a total of 2 hours of sleep. Up and down all night helping B out, then up at 5:30am and to work by 7am. I was almost out of pain pills, so I cut back. Ouch! My face is still burning up at night, swelled up looking a little more chipmunky this morning. Brandon's mom coming in the mornings to help and I come home about lunch. Got home at about 12 and tried to sleep, but no dice. B needs something every hour. I feel like I am a crappy nurse, who keeps getting told how to do something but doesn't get it. I am trying my best, but Brandon and I are arguing which isn't good for either of us. I am still healing and hurting and I know he is in agony. These are my rational thoughts in print, my emotions got worked out with a phone call to mom :)
Doctor appointment at 4 went great, my jaw bone biopsy is normal. Finally some good news! Then doctor said that I can begin radiation therapy in 2 weeks. Fear sunk in. . .I guess I am not as prepared as I thought I would be to get started. I just keep thinking, "but I'll be sick over holidays." "My Birthday is next month!" But then thoughts set in like, "well how about we wait until late January of next year and hope it doesn't kill you by then." ... Ok, true. Let's get this over with and get better already.
Belen had her 1st soccer practice today. I love her coach! It's all drills and real coaching. He even brought them water and snacks. Belen is so excited. She fell blocking a kick, but jumped up ready for action. I love her spirit. Yesi is getting sick she has a runny nose and felt really warm. Gave her some OJ and put her to bed early, poor thing.
Feliz Día de la Independencia!
