More chemo, cats and cheese

The second chemo line was started about 2:30 p.m. It went until 3. Vlad gets that one for 30 minutes a day, 3 days a week. I think that's "the Ida."

The kidney doctor came by and told Vlad his kidneys are almost completely normal now. Vlad went for the kidney sonogram a little later. We hope to get results tomorrow.

What am I, 10 years old? What's a kidney doctor? ... I have to look it up. A renal specialist? OK, here it is: A nephrologist. Now I sound like an adult.

I've been home working. The folks at the chron have been very generous about my neediness right now. I'm going to be off the next two weeks. I'm finding this whole thing more exhausting than I expected. I got so sleepy about 1:30 I couldn't stay awake. I went to take a nap. When the alarm went off, I didn't know where I was or what day it was.

Then: Cats. Screaming and howling. Keezee and a black cat that's new to the neighborhood. This black cat looks a bit like a New York Giant next to Keezee, and Keezee's no wimp. I broke it up with a broom. Well, that woke me up.

Well Liliya's coming by the hospital tonight with Russian food. One thing is homemade farmer's cheese. That sounds like it may be chemo-illegal. I gotta get back to the hospital to reread the food rules.

A broom is worth a thousand words.
Funny the linguestics of cats, but understand their spit is a real veniom not just to us but them as well. Yikes, hang in there if we need to Keeze may need the bed next to Vlades room. LOL.
