No Energy

This round of Spidey Juices has really been rough on him and kinda' kicked his butt.  He didn't throw-up or get too nauseous, but he has been really tired and hurting. The fatigue this round has been pretty bad. He will tell me he just hurts, his bones, his skin and of course his back.  He really hasn't left the house but maybe a few times these past 2 weeks, he just doesn't have the energy.  I don't know if it is cooties or spidey juices causing his pain this time, it could also be the Neulasta injection he received.  His last treatment didn't really bother him that much, so I am sad for him that this time was so hard on him, yet I am thankful it is not worse than it is.....it could be sooo much worse! He wasn't able to go to church yesterday or go the Christmas program last night, and I know he would have liked to, but he was in too much pain. Usually by now he is back to his spunky self, but unfortunately right now he is asleep in the recliner with Beanford standing watch over him.  Bean has been spending more time with him lately....Dust keeps asking Bean what is going on, the last time he spent this much time with him he was diagnosed with cooties!  Bean will get really close to Dustin and start smelling him, Bean will smell his face, neck, chest, arms, basically his whole body, Dust says it is a Beanford CAT scan.  It is strange.....he has been doing this for about a week.

We go back to Tulsa in 2 days for his next round of chemo...I wish he had more energy, but we have to do it :-) 



Dustin sleeping with the babies taking care of him.
**I know I only talk about Beanford, but we actually have 2 chihuahuas.  Bean is the one looking at the camera, Baby Girl is the darker one....she's crazy!  Bean is quiet and protective, Baby is playful and just crazy, there is not a day that goes by that we don't just shake our heads and laugh at her.  Where Bean is now (in the photo) is where you will find him, if Dustin is in the recliner.  He is protecting him.**

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas.  We love you all!

  1. Awww, so sweet to see your pups taking care of Dustin! He is very lucky to have all of you watching over him. I hope you're taking care of yourself also through all of this. I hope you have a nice Christmas with the family! - Julie

  4. Cool. the pups are watching over Dustin. When times are hard on him, just a sight of Bean and baby girl he is then probably, well at least feeling good. Hope Dustin will have a wonderful Christmas too.
