Original radiation schedule ended today...

 

Not sure you'll be able to see in the video, but we are getting hail right now?!?

We actually didn't hit much rain on the commute to treatment today, even some sunny skies, although we'd had rain at home earlier. Stormy skies are back now...

Treatment went fine - today was the last of the original schedule. Only the two extra sessions left to go! 

Unfortunately, he only weighed in at 168.3 lbs. But he didn't eat too much at all yesterday. Just a little broth when we got back from the screening. And he refused to even try to force down some oatmeal before we went to treatment, so... 

He's sucked down a V8 and an Ensure since we got back, and we'll pick up a breakfast platter or a Teriyaki Chicken Bowl from Jack in the Box on the way home from another doctor appointment this afternoon (one of his regular health appointments - he's pretty sure it's for the shaky hands, which haven't been that bad lately - go figure). I know Jack's food doesn't sound too healthy but those are the only things he thinks he can make himself eat for lunch today, so... Right now, calories are good, however he manages to get them down.

The screening was for the movie with Jake Johnson called Self-Reliance. The screening ended up being at 7pm last night (instead of 10am, as originally planned). Movie is very quirky, very funny. Had a really nice time. I got to meet Jake and Anna Kendrick (who is also in it), along with a producer, the DP, and a few other behind-the-camera folks. Very comfortable small screening room - we were even able to sit in recliners! I laughed a lot. Felt really good. Biff is hilarious and in quite a bit of it!e

We were ready to get out of there quickly after though. Biff is often asleep by 9:30am (though he wakes up later usual, at random times off and on - he's never been a great sleeper, but he needs it now more than ever), so he was pretty worn out by the time we got home. Honestly, so was I. I don't sleep too well myself these days.

Regardless, it was a really nice break. Sadly, he got a little depressed during the night. Got to worrying that he'll never get back to that character he's been developing for decades. I pointed out that he'll still be a funny guy and figure out how to adjust. Think he's particularly worried about not being able to grow his beard back fully. 🙄😋

Just gonna keep on keeping on... This is a long road but we are heading toward a good bend. I can't wait to see him enjoying his food again. 

XOXO ♥️
