Stupid Chemo

Man, I was halfway thinking about cracking open one of the two soft and delicious looking avocados sitting on my counter -- forgetting that Mark starts his chemo tonite. Which means he can't eat a single bite or drink a darned thing after 8 p.m. For the next five days, the schedule goes like this:

Last bite: 8 p.m.
Anti vomiting drugs: 11:30
Poison/chemo: midnight
Start to feel that weird boiling blood sensation: 1 a.m.

From what I can tell of it from here, chemo sucks. Cancer too.

Thx to flickrite Nate Steiner for the avocado photo...

Val, what an optimistic, lemonade kind of guy your are! I like that about you.

When life gives you a bowl full of avocado-blocking chemo, make avocado breakfast!
