Life with Chemo - Part 1


Ok, so I have really twisted sense of humor and considering what we have been going through, I have to laugh at some stuff, really.

Ted has started his second round of chemo this week. It is really kicking his butt. It is very hard to watch someone you care about go through this let me tell you. Ted really appreciates my twisted sense of humor and has give approval on any story that I post about him, honest.

So last night after getting back to his house, I went in to check on him. He was really tired from his treatment and he has a cold on top of everything else. So I was feeling of his head to make sure he wasn't running a fever. Thank goodness he wasn't. Now, he has been in the bed for quite a while and had what I like to call "bed hair" and he is very pale. I told him if he was sparkly I would have to call him Edward (Twilight). For some reason he found this very amusing......even though he HATES Twilight.

I also told him that I didn't think that he was going to loose his hair as he has a headful of it. He told me yeah he was, the nurses have already told him to expect it in the next couple of weeks. I told him then I would get him some really cute bandanas to cover his head with. He says "I was afraid of that. That's ok. I don't want any gay head wraps." I told him I wouldn't get him hot pink or purple, I promised not to. He told me that he wants a Viking Hat, points and all. I asked him why in the world would you want a Viking Hat? He replies back " Just because I can and plus when I go in for chemo with my Viking Hat on, everyone will think I am crazy and not bother me with polite small talk. " I at this point start laughing as you would just have to know how he is and the way he can tell you something and make it seem so serious while being a smart ass.

You can bet your sweet butt that I am now on the hunt for a Viking Hat and shall make sure that he has one.
