Right now, we have a lot of stuff on our plates and we both feel like we'll be in a better position to really celebrate in June or July. Having said that, over the weekend, we did have a really lovely meal (that Mark cooked) on Sunday. At times, I could actually taste and smell my meal. We had grilled shrimp and veggies, so delicious!! Tasting and smelling are not things to be taken for granted. I have been suffering with a nasty headcold for about 10 days now and I literally dragged my butt around all weekend. On Saturday, we did some errands but on Sunday, I only got up off the couch to drag stuff back and forth to the washing machine.
A wild weekend indeed!
On Mark's actual birthday, yesterday, there was no cake, no balloons, not a hoop or a lah. We were both sick. I couldn't talk at all (had lost my voice from the coughing and had not slept a wink on Sunday night). Mark was sick to his stomach (just a tip from us to you, read the list of foods to avoid during chemo BEFORE you start chemo - the spicy foods he loves are not his friends right now). It was a pretty lacklustre birthday for sure.
When the time comes that we're both feeling perkier and happier, we'll celebrate properly. In the meantime, we're both just adjusting to the changes we've made in the household to accommodate the chemo and continuing to take things one day at a time.
