It’s Day One of five as Peter begins his new round of chemo. He will take the oral chemo for five days and then he’ll have 23 days off before he starts again. The dosage is stronger this time, but there’s no radiation to intensify its effect. He’s wearing an anti-nausea patch on his arm and taking the oral anti-nausea drug he took last time, so the combined effect should at least lessen any nausea he might otherwise feel.
Daughter Hillary came out from Austin to visit us on Friday for a couple of days, and we were able to enjoy that one perfect day, Saturday, at the Botanical Garden. It was nice to see families enjoying the garden and picnicking on the grounds. We bought sandwiches at the café run by Dondero’s and ate at a table outside. The Bot Garden is a wonderful place to go lately. We also walked down to the Day Chapel to see how it looks after the ten years that have passed since Hillary and Chris were married there, and it remains a very special spot for reflection or rejoicing, as the case may be.
Peter addressed another health matter last week: he has been having trouble with a sore shoulder, so he drove himself to his doctor and received a cortisone shot. Doctor Lucas told him it was probably bursitis and/or arthritis, neither of which Peter is being spared, simply because he has a couple more exotic ailments, it seems!
We are making plans to visit friends in Charleston next week and are really looking forward to our first “fun” road trip in a long time. Who knows, I might even have a driving partner!
