Day 128
Jackie and I had a wonderful date night. She has spent the last three days working hard just to make sure our lives stay comfortable. The treatment has definitely made her lose some of her endurance and strength. She become tired more easily. Her hair has not fallen out yet, but does thin out slightly. Jackie has always been a hard worker with good work ethics. Yesterday she came home tired and restless. She had sore shoulders and felt bone pain. This has been the first time since the last three cycles that Neupogen has affected her. Luckily a good night’s rest did alleviate some of her pain. I watch her carefully when she is with me. Everytime she sighs and awkwardly arches he shoulders signals something is wrong. I don’t know what to do to help her out. I’m so helpless.
Tonight however I made dinner and we went to the tennis gardens to watch Rafael Nadal in action. What an enjoyable event with plenty of action. God blesses both Jackie and I. Somehow He is always able to provide us relief from stressful times. Jackie is hanging in there and this weekend we will be going back home. Next week is her final treatment. We will be counting down.
