It's March 1st!

There doesn't seem to be a pattern for the ill effects. Ralph received his last chemo treatment on Monday and did not feel terrible until Thursday evening, when Megan came for dinner. From Thursday to Saturday, he was either very cold or sweating with pain, mainly, in his hips and down his legs. He dosed off but still managed to get dressed, every day, and left the house for a few hours, with an escort. He is not driving, It is obvious that he struggles to walk or move, and he tires easily. He rides an emotional roller coaster, and, as predicted, he has lost feeling in his finger tips making some tasks difficult and frustrating. He was better, today, but believed that was because he didn't go anywhere and just watched sports with Michael. His appetite is good, and he still welcomes visitors, calls, and cards. Hopefully, he will feel better with each day until Round #2 starts.
