Ups and downs

First full day home brought ups and downs. Up because Dale is home. Down because of extra laundry loads. Up because Dale began to feel somewhat better. Down because nausea was pretty bad this morning. Up because Dale's bone marrow is producing enough cells to take care of the diarrhea rash. Down because there still is diarrhea. Up because the endurance and long suffering is not from cancer treatment. Down because endurance and long suffering is from the ongoing infection he continues to battle. Up because I got out of the house for half an hour today. Down because I was sent to the store for Dale's food cravings. Up because I did a lot of stair climbing. Down because Dale's walking was limited to and from bathrooms.
