Day 125-127
Lately I have felt very uninspired to write. Are human beings just a creature of habit? I wake up, drive to work, work, lunch, work, drive home, dinner, tv, and sleep. Jackies treatment goes steadily with chemo on Friday followed by a weekend of being uncomfortable, then five shots of Neupogen, and we wait until Friday again. I’m not sure what else to expect, because she is doing great. In less than two months we will be celebrating our one year anniversary. In the beginning things kicked off with a bang and then Hodgkin’s came along and it definitely has been a long test. It has mostly been a test of patience. Treatment lasts from anywhere between half a year to a year. We are not allowed to go on vacation, go to public events, have certain foods, and so on. These restrictions keep you pretty well confined in a specific area for awhile. Luckily modern technology has made it easier to enjoy entertainment, communicate with family and friends, and pass time. Life should be spontaneous, exciting, and unpredictable. That is what Jackie and I miss the most.
On a lighter note, we have finally earned a response back from one of the many charities that we applied to. I was certain that we would be denied because apparently our salary is too high. I don’t unerstand why my net worth is in the negatives but I don’t t qualify for anything. To my surprise though they have afforded to pay a portion of certain bills. I feel very fortunate to have found such a great organization. Thank you Lymphoma research foundation. Your generosity is greatly appreciated and will be reciprocated.
