What the heck?! Christmas is already over. December literally feels like it flew by. Where to even begin..
Donnie and Me made it home late Wednesday night. He only needed to do 2 days of harvest, which was awesome. Every day he finished we were never sure until about 6 o'clock that night whether it was enough. But after his extraction on Wednesday we decided to go to a movie and wait for the call. We were really hoping that he would be done because we wanted to get the heck home. I had so much last minute Christmas stuff to get done and we missed the kids like crazy. Luckily for us, he was good to go and they got all the 5 million that they needed. We were just so glad he didn't have to be stuck in that out patient room another day. I've been in some bad rooms but that was the worst. There was just so much equipment packed in to this shoe box room that you literally could not move around! The first day I had to sit in a plastic stupid chair for the entire time. Not to complain but it was pretty bad. So, the next day I made sure I had a more comfortable chair, but the problem with that was that the only place it fit was in front of the bathroom, so I had to move the chair every time someone had to use it. Which really wasn't that much because Donnie was hooked up to so many cords that he couldn't move from his bed so he had to pee in this urinal bottle thing. {haha he is gonna kill me for writing this} It was just not a very comfortable 2 days but we were glad that it was only 2 and not 4! We got home really late so we didn't see the kids till the morning but man, were we happy to see their sweet faces!
In other Donnie related news, his hair is finally falling out! We have been anticipating this for months but it just never seemed to happen. He's probably the only chemo patient I know with a full on beard. He's been complaining about his head being sore for probably the last week, so we knew it would be soon. Last night, I was rubbing his head and I wasn't really paying attention because I was talking on the phone but I eventually looked down and my hand was Covered in hair. The whole blanket had hair on it, it looked like a dog shedding ha ha! I could not believe it. I kept grabbing like a pinch of hair and it was just coming out. So crazy! So, today he shaved it all :( He was very depressed about shaving his very mature beard but it had to go. We couldn't have everything covered in hair. Poor guy! It's hard to see it all gone. He's a good sport though and who knows it might come back red ;)
BTW - He hates that I post pictures but oh well I love it :) |
I'll make a Christmas post soon... Promise :)
