Planning to stain the deck this weekend. Maybe finish a couple projects around the yard. Hoping to get Dave out for a fire, even if it's short. Will post if we do and everyone is welcome!

Busy week...well for me
I have lots of inservices to do for my job this week...and travel. Leaving Dave for long days is hard, but my mom comes over and many friends are helping out. Dave started chest radiation again and had his IV infusion today. He's still not eating much. I keep thinking about ways to improve that..... including some double secret kinda manipulative ways. Today I suggested Dave just take bites of different foods to see if anything tastes good. We'll see how that goes.

Is that like super-double probation? Hope for a fire!
ReplyDeleteDid you ever try Xyloxylin before meals? Is his esophagus tenderness the issue or is it appetite? Have you tried baby foods? Our local restaurant, Olive Garden, has a minestrone soup that chemo/radiation patients swear by!
ReplyDeleteMaybe John. Phyllis- it's all...including smells. I'm going to llok into the soup from Olive garden next week. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteoops- that was look!
ReplyDeleteDad had to drink things in to-go cups with lids and straws to keep the smell away from him. Not being inside the house while the food was being cooked helped. Then we'd dine outside on the patio, so the intense smells were kept in the house. Lipton Green Tea through a straw...dad devoured this!
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea. We'll try...so glad you're around to give some tips. Thanks Phyllis.
