The pain is baaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

It looks like the Zometa painkiller effect has worn off already. The only good part is that the pain has not reached the excruciating levels of last Sun-Tue!! I suppose, for Husband, he is back to his "normal" pain level, elevated by the Erbitux... but it sounds strange to say "normal pain level"! Is there such a thing? All I can see is that he is too tired today to even hit his target of showering before 10am. He is back in bed, hopefully sleeping. And he is targeting that he will be up and about by tomorrow so that he can enjoy Tony and Pengs visit :-).

I have to say that having our friends come and stay (even if it is only a short stay!) really does help - to take Husband's mind off the pain, to alleviate the feeling of 'cabin fever', and he has someone more to talk to than just me :-p. And it helps that Husband and I have been friends with Peng and Tony for the last 11 years, since Tony, Peng and I worked together in SG in the same company. Looking forward to their arrival tomorrow morning :-).

Keep Husband in your thoughts, that he has the strength to withstand the pain, and that the chemo wipes out the cancer.

Till next time, stay safe, stay HEALTHY!
