Rob's second Chemo session
I don't know what it is, I take Rob in for his chemo, and as soon as he's
hooked up to the IVs, I fall asleep. Four hours later, he's fed (a courtesy for the patients, care givers fend for themselves), rested, unhooked from the IVs and I take him home. I thought we were going to get by without Ralph calling as Rob had taken anti nausea medications earlier, but they must have worn off. The bathroom is clean now. Poor Rob. He never got sick more than once every couple of years and the only times he got this ill were from chemo. I think it is worst for those who aren't used to being ill. He gets so embarrassed when he gets sick, and no matter how many people tell him that there's nothing to be upset about, he still gets upset. I know he's not doing his best as Huey, QC, and Merlin have taken position on the bed near him and Tanada is on a blanket at the foot of the bed. Qui Gun Kit, Sonya, and Pine Cone have looked in, decided that the bed is full and gone into Mike's room instead. The owners are worried about him, I think. Pam S. also worried |

Pam S. also worried My sympathy to both of you. Being sick is miserable, and I'm sure being embarrassed about it makes it more so. I know you can't help worrying about him, and it is frustrating not to be able to convince him there's no reason to be embarrassed. I hope the sickness passes quickly and doesn't repeat itself when he has further treatments. I also hope the treatments do their job. (((((((((Pam and Rob))))))))) Joy |

Rob's second Chemo session
Well, d*mm*t. I hate to hear that Rob is down again. Your family's struggles
in the last few years have been great and I admire all of you for taking it all so well - Rob included. As always, you are in my thoughts and my prayers. Bridget "tanadashoes" wrote in message ...

Rob's second Chemo session
As to your falling asleep, that is called exhaustion. Every time Bob was in
the hospital I would stay with him. Being a paraplegic, there were so many things he couldn't do, reach things, turn over by himself and such. Problem was, I knew he had the buzzer if he really needed help and often used that time to catch up on my sleep. With Rob, you know in your head that for that few hours, his every breath will be monitored so you go on shut down, or rather sleep down. Enjoy it, you need the rest. Purrs and prayers from everyone here. "tanadashoes" wrote in message ... I don't know what it is, I take Rob in for his chemo, and as soon as he's hooked up to the IVs, I fall asleep.
