Chemo, Day 2, down. After a rest in his new backyard lounge chair and suffering a bit of nausea, Scott rallied in the evening to eat a big meal — pesto pasta made with freshly picked basil from the garden — that involved going back for thirds.
Scott walked about three miles today, including an evening trek with Casey around the San Carlos Park. Now Scott and Maz are playing "War" in the backyard. From what I can see, it involves attacking each other with swords, Nerf bullets and various balls. Maz keeps yelling things like, "Look, Dada, a monarch butterfly over by the fence!" or "Buffalo in the sky, Dada! Look!" Then when Scott looks, Maz pegs him in the back. And Scott keeps falling for it over and over.
Other news from the day: I beat Scott at Cribbage twice. The chemo seems to have really dimmed his wits.
Am I really supposed to leave that comment about "dimming his wits" alone? Scott told me not to be nice to him just because he caught the cancer. I mean, why should I start now....
ReplyDeleteWe've grown to rely on you for constant ridicule. You certainly can't go and disappoint us now.
DeleteI'm honored. Honored.
DeleteMan, Scott must be off his game if he only went back for thirds. That dude is a eating machine. I recall stories of giant burrito eating challenges in days past...
