I am so tired and worn out from lack of sleep this week. Thank goodness I had a three day weekend where I managed to sneak in a couple of naps. Ted has really had a rough week this past week and tonight is not any better.
He cannot find a comfortable position in which to lay down to sleep. The tumor is in his right lung and is pushing in on the nerves in his back and now causing some pain in his side too. This makes it very hard for him to lay down and sleep. He is on some strong medication and they will finally knock him out for an hour or so and then he is right back up again. It is very frustrating for he and I both. I hate to see him in pain and not be able to do anything about it at all. He is frustrated from hurting and not getting enough rest.
We did have a great Easter. He had wanted to go to church with me but just wasn't up for the car ride to go. He did manage to have a fairly decent nap today and he ate a lot of his Easter Dinner. Let me just tell you that chemo is just some nasty shit and totally screws up a lot in a person.
He has always had a sweet tooth but not anymore. It used to be that if there was ANY chocolate in the house, he would devour it. I made brownies for him on Thursday, I think that he might have eaten one so far. I had to throw them out today. Before, he would have eaten half of them in one sitting. He can't taste much anymore and I have noticed that he is eating less than he did when the treatments first started.
