Uggh!

Well, this isn't going to be pretty. Arrow is doing well. She wants to run and play, but then realizezs that she can't really do that because it kind of hurts. The radiated area is really, really ugly. Let's just say that Sally tells me I shouldn't look at it. She has agreed to do wound care. Reasons why I love my wife: She knows my limits.

I've been having a hard time seeing her. She is kind of tired because of her pain med. I also think this whole process is wiping her out some. The next two weeks are going to continue to be worse and I can't imagine what that will look like. I think her leg might fall off (OK, that's the drama I was mentioning in an earlier blog).

I know in my heart that this is the right thing to do. But I have to say I'm giving it second thoughts. I don't know if she knows what's happening. I don't know if she thinks we're hurting or helping her. If the cancer comes back soon did we just impact the quality of her life? Ugghhhh.....

I think Sally will have a different take on this whole experience, but for me...it's hard.

Glo is right. The burn looks nasty and it is oozing. But Arrow really is doing fine. She is a champ. She is mostly leaving it alone, although today we had to bust out her tshirt again. She is resting comfortably, like the doctor said. I keep trying to reassure Glo that Arrow is really ok, but I think she thinks I am little miss sunshine. Arrow picks up on Glo's energy and emotion as well as mine so hopefully she will find a place between miss sunshine and miss scaredly micfearalot. Griffin is keeping her company, by stealing her bed, eating her food and taking her toys. Just like usual. Beanie and Booda have not gotten close to the flesh wound we will from this point give a name. How about Pinky McPretty. Maybe that will help Glo. Check for yourself.
