Still healing, albeit slowly

Dale's nausea and diarrhea is still there, he can't stay upright very long before he needs to lie back down, and appetite is so so. Nights are restless and uncomfortable, days long and on the edge of sickness. He describes the nausea as though he was just about to have the flu or just getting over the flu-never quite done with it, though. His discouragement factor remains high, patience wavering, and he just wishes it would all go away for him to get back to productivity. This is a long, long ride on the cancer roller coaster. He is progressing, just slower than he hoped it would be.
