A week has past

A week has past since the treatment. Lori feels terrible. We were hoping for some relief by now. At this point we’re not even sure if it’s due to the chemo or the disease. Dr. Tumlin did say that with her level of proteinuria she will feel lousy.

Yesterday Lori managed to get the energy to go see Nikki (Mike’s girlfriend) perform at a competition held at their school. This is what it took to do that. When Lori got up she got her clothes ready. Shoes, socks, everything. Then rest. A while later (about 2 hours) she took a shower. This required a nap afterward. Once up from her nap she brushed her teeth and hair. She then rested on the couch and watched a movie until it was time to go. She got dressed and we were off. We used the wheel chair once we got there. Mike pushed her to where Nikki was so we could wish her luck and then we went to the gym to watch. the show. After they performed we went back to the car and then home. The whole trip was around 1 hour yet it completely drained her of any strength she had. She spent the rest of the day sleeping on and off. When I woke her from the couch and sent her to bed at around midnight you could just see the weakness in her eyes. Even in the dark it was obvious.

Today (Sunday) she didn’t look much better. She says she feels like a wet noodle. I blew up the airbed so she could stretch out downstairs and not have to climb the stairs to lie down in the bed. We will probably leave it like that for the next couple of days.

I just wish there was something that I could do for her.
