Sunday afternoon

Vlad is doing pretty well. Today he's taking his 24-day break from chemo, which will end in about an hour and a half. The final round of this first hospital round begins around 6-6:30 pm. He should be able to go home tomorrow afternoon. He's finding this regimen of Ara-C makes him crankier, a little nauseated and he's got constant heartburn. The biggest thing is the hiccups. It's a side effect. He's been hiccuping off and on since he started. But his appetite is strong.

I'm pampering his feet today. A foot soak followed by some minor sloughing and a moisturizer treatment. Maybe he'll return the favor when he gets home?

I didn't get here till 3 today. I'm moving a lot slower today than normal. Trying to preserve my energy and keep the stress levels down. Ifind the slo-mo technique helps. I need to go to the office tomorrow and Tuesday because of meetings. That'll eat up a lot of mojo. The commute alone is insanity. OK, enough whining.

Can't wait till he's home tomorrow!
