I was just thinking about the blog, so I thought I would hop on and do a little update. Dave had been at work last week every day (up until Thursday). He works for Downeast Home and Downeast Clothing….I’m going to just put in here that everyone needs to go and support these companies. The things they have done for Dave and I has brought us to tears, there are not people or companies out there like them anymore. They have also shown up at the hospital every couple of days just to show Dave support. They would bring him puzzles, sweatshirts, all sorts of stuff. The stores would send him cards. Our A/C went out in the middle of this and during a heatwave here. Their guy came and fixed our A/C..I know that really doesn’t sound like a lot, but when I am driving an hour each way to be at the hospital and my house is 110 degrees, it’s a lot. So Troy, the kitties and I are so indebted to you, you have no idea – you saved us. Anyway, Downeast had their Corporate meetings last week. Dave was there and they wanted him at every meeting and lunch so that everyone got a chance to see him, hug him, talk to him, it’s was a very emotional 3 days. Dave had no idea how many people truly cared about him, and what an impression he makes on people. I knew, I mean, I’m the person who gets to love him, but he had no idea what impact he has in peoples life’s- well I think he does now. Anyway, back to Wednesday. He went to work early, he went to all the meetings, he had to walk a ton, then he went to the mountains where they had the whole company come for a barbecue. Well there is very little Dave can eat, he can’t stand the smell and taste of pretty’s much all food. So by that night he was extremely tired and unsteady on his feet. Soo he called my Brother. My Brother rounded up some people to go get him. He didn’t feel like he could handle the ride to our house…so he went to my moms for the night and came home later the next day. We have left cloths of his at my moms house from when he had to stay there for a couple of weeks, just for situations like this, and it worked great. My parents are so amazing….there isn’t anything they won’t do to help Dave. If there is a problem and I am still in Morgan, you can bet my parents will be right there, I will never be able to thank them enough. Needless to say, Dave didn’t go back to work Thursday or Friday, he was wiped out. But he was back at it yesterday, he just needs to take it easy, and if he starts feeling tired – that’s his hint to go home ❤️. But he comes home and I am the one person who doesn’t treat him like he has cancer. I don’t codel him and we only talk about it when necessary (which is way more often than I would like). We still have to live our life….even though it has changed quite a bit. We don’t plan for the future, right now we just kind of take things day by day…..we’ll enough for today, Dave is having a full body scan on Saturday and we will meet with Dr Shah next week. Now is the time to pray, cross your fingers and all those other fun things.

This was at his last chemo infusion….they infuse 5 different drugs into him, so we are there for 7 hours 🤦‍♀️
