Done with today's radiation super quick today. And only the one appointment, which allows for a more restful day. Traffic was a breeze both directions! No rain - we were kind of disappointed: still haven't gotten to try our new umbrellas out...
He had a rough night. Slept okay but wallowed a little in self-pity when he was awake in the dark. He still avoids waking me up when he's lost in the fear and frustration. I remind him I don't mind, but he worries about me getting enough sleep!!! Crazy but so sweet.
The loss of taste and appetite are taking a serious toll. His weight was down to 181.4 lbs. today. Doc says the weight loss should level out, but we're going to start pushing more nutrition now. Not much point in trying to entice him with yummy stuff - since nothing actually tastes good. (Not that I won't keep trying.) More spinach and beans coming his way. Woohoo!
We had a nice moment in the car. A gorgeous cover by Wilson Phillips of the song "Daniel" came up in our random mix. From an Elton John tribute album. Neither of us remembered hearing it before, had no idea Wilson Phillips was actually good! 🥴 So lovely, we listened to it twice! I embrace the little moments of joy every chance I get!
His spirits and energy are doing better now. We stopped and got him that breakfast from Jack's, and he ate a lot of it, so hooray. I'll be off to the grocery store shortly, picking up more V8 and nutritious stuff.
The journey continues...
