Rainbows and Butterflies

Ed did very well his first night of Chemo-Part II. He did not get nauseated, but was probably very restless as Mama said he woke her five times during the night...to urinate. No vomiting or nausea, but he was very weak this morning.

He is taking injections at home for his blood clot, thank God for my sister-in-law who is able to give the shots! Me, I hate needles! He said they smarted this morning!

I saw him at dinner time and he was smiling alot. Very weak, but great spirits and peaceful. Mama and B2 gave him a shower and he was 'shiny as a new penny' - my brother's words.

As the song goes...It's not always rainbows and butterflies...but we'll take what smiles and laughter we can get, when we can get it, and while we can get it.

We purchased a second hand hospital bed today and when I left their house tonight, Ed was learning how to use the controls...raising his legs, letting them down, raising his head, letting it down, till he found a happy medium.

Sometimes and it's thunderstorms and caterpillars. But today it's rainbows and butterflies.
