Journal entry by Dianne Lear

Bob had a visit with a palliative nurse today and said he didn’t really need her right now since he was able to navigate to bathroom and back to bed and he wasn’t in any pain. Then, he almost fell , twice. It scared him and he lamented that he really is having a problem walking. He is very apprehensive about chemo on Tuesday and, frankly, so am I. In his current weakened state I wonder if he will be able to tolerate if it makes him any weaker. I am afraid he will not be able to make it up the stairs to the house. I can always call the non-emergency EMT phone number I found to get him up. But then he would be trapped inside probably unable to go out again. Those are my fears. He is still eating well but I wonder if that will change with chemo. No people are alike and have different reactions. I just got him to use the baby monitor. All he has to do is call my name and I will come or wake and come. His cognitions vary from day to day.
