This last chemo was harder on Ernie than the previous two--more fatigue, more nausea and more restlessness from the Benadryl. We are glad that he is done with the 'tough' ones.
Over the last seven weeks, we have developed a routine for the day. In the morning we read the paper, pay bills (medical bills consume an inordinate amount of time), clean and do laundry (keeping a germ-free environment is also time consuming). We also visit the Whole Foods to buy provisions for the day. After lunch, Ernie takes a short nap and then we head out on a sight-seeing excursion. This insures that we get out of the apartment and get our exercise as we usually walk at least part of the way.
Today we visited the Maryland Historical Society. As it is the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, they had a special exhibit on Maryland's role. We have been impressed with the number of famous Maryland citizens. Those that figure prominently in the Civil War include Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Roger Taney (Supreme Court Justice in the Dred Scott decision), John Wilkes Booth, Clara Barton, and our very own Johns Hopkins. It was a terrific exhibit--certainly worth a second look if any of you would like to join us.
