Thanks for all your kind thoughts, everybody. The last couple of days have been absolutely the worst, we can’t wait to put them behind us.

Tomorrow David has chemotherapy scheduled, I hope the clinic can give him more relief than what he can get from medication (the injections seem to be more effective than pills).

A Bell? What kind, and for what purpose? I have several bells on hand and can UPS one to you if you like.

David can barely speak, so when he needs something, a bell would be useful, especially when I'm on another floor.

I'll go to the teacher supplies outlet tomorrow -- of all the places to buy bells, it should be there, right?

Erm, the bigger question: what are you doing with all these bells, Fancy??

Sorry to hear things are going so badly.. hopefully it’s a case of “Things will get worse before they get better”. Give David a big hug for us and one to you! *Hug*

I suppose, if one is looking for a bright side, sleep is better than pain. I always try to go to sleep if I’m not well. It’s better to be oblivious, at times.

Still, I hope David finds some more energy soon, and can get back to his trains and planes.

i do hope david gets better or at least things become more manageable. i’m gutted that he cannot continue with his trains – when you’re down there’s nothing better than doing a hobbie that you love, but if it impacts on his health then it’s best not to. it’s a shame you’re both not on instant messaging or IRC as I would say hello I appreciate the strain of what you’re going through though. as always, my thoughts are with you both.

Wow, I hope he gets better soon! Get some energy back to play more Scrabble.

I hope you can get some help, homecare assistance or something similar to give you relief. Remember the airplane theory: first give yourself oxygen and then help someone else. Take good care of you, too.

Here’s hoping that today has been a better day for David. You’re doing an incredible job as his caretaker – your love for him shines through in everything you’re doing for him – I can sense that every time I read your updates. It’s good to know you’re both trying to focus outwardly on projects and hobbies at a time when it would be so easy to become mired in the negatives. Keep hoping for the best and expecting the best! I am praying for strength for you, and freedom from pain for David.
