Weekend- really?

Dave went to get his 3x/week infusion yesterday, then napped. His hemoglobin is 9.7 (it was 9.4 on Monday). We hope that means it's starting to increase because that should help his energy. His voice is stronger and more normal now.

Tim and Joni came over and did some finishing touches on the deck in the afternoon. It's ready to stain....as soon as it's okay to stain. I'm still working on that detail. Dave didn't want to go out to dinner with us, he wanted to stay home and rest, so I went and left him alone. I'm starting to leave him alone for short periods again without feeling too worried. Hoping he'll start doing a little more this week. It takes so long to recover from being in the hospital like that. I remember the oncologist telling us back in December that it takes about twice as long as the chemo time to start feeling like "yourself" again. That would have been a year or so, but than he went through radiation and more chemo. He's such a great CW!
