To Sleep or Not to Sleep...

We finished up our wonderful weekend with a quiet afternoon at home. Since Bill was up for 5 days without naps, he has some catching up to do on his sleep. It is much harder for him to stay awake here, at home - for so many reasons. The first being that he is often alone during the day while I'm at work, and sleep helps the time move faster. The second is the constant cancer reminder that weighs heavily in our house. It's as if the word "cancer" is written on the walls. It would make anyone want to close their eyes. Being away is a magic eraser... I found myself forgetting that this disease plagued us. It is much harder to forget when we are the throes of every day life.

Tomorrow is another City of Hope appointment. Bill is going solo this time - it is a very easy appointment and he should be in and out quickly. Since he is on round 2 of the treatment, he only goes every other week. In about 2 weeks he will go for his PT scan and that will be THE appointment... the Results Show, per se. I am honestly dreading that episode...
