Sandi Update--Saturday Evening

She has had a better than expected day today. Yesterday evening her vision went very bad as happens with the chemo. Usually about four days or a little less after chemo Sandi loses her vision and everything gets blurry at distance and worsens until she can't even see her hands in her lap. That seemed to be happening rapidly late yesterday afternoon and evening and would have been way earlier than normal.

However, when she woke up late this morning, her vision was almost back to normal. She has had a couple of bouts of nausea again today. That also started early as it started yesterday morning. So far the meds have held it off. She is tired like she always is these days, but there have been no signs of the chills or fevers yet. No doubt they are coming, but, they thankfully have not happened yet.

So, all in all, Sandi is doing as well as can be expected. We still have no idea whether or not she has been approved for Texas Medicaid and have no idea how we are going to make my overdue car payment, the rent, or pay anything else including the IRS as we somehow owe 350 bucks when we finally file, as it is almost time to somehow pay for another round of her cancer drugs.

We are hanging in, trying not to freak or think, and hoping that things will somehow work themselves out. And this game really does suck as we have a much, much larger board in our minds.

Being an adult is grossly over rated in so many ways.
