Day 402 - Jul 5, 2009

Kevin has sorta been feeling better today. He didn't throw up anymore, but he has been in a lot of pain in his head today - even taking pain meds all day long. He still doesn't have a build-up of fluid so we will just wait and see what's going on here.

I have noticed his head has been hurting more lately. It's either that or he is becoming 'accustomed' to his Fentanyl patch and will need to try something different for a while.

I have also noticed that he has been forgetting things sometimes for the last few weeks. It's not all the time, but once in a while he will take his meds and then 10 minutes later ask for them again. He never used to do that so I'm really not sure if there is something to be looking at or not. At first, I kept thinking I was just imagining it, but he really is forgetting more and more. I sure hope it's nothing...

And today, my mom and I went shopping for patio furniture. The pool isn't complete yet, but I want to have the 3 large umbrellas ready for when it is (strategically placed to span over the pool so that Kevin is not in the sun while swimming). We need to get a dining set and a seating area as well and you would've all just died to get the price quote. It was over $13,000!!! I would lay odds that everyone in the store heard me gulp and you can bet your bottom dollar that we nearly RAN out of there!

I have a feeling that I am going to have to order the umbrellas from there though. They were almost $1000 a piece, but I waited too long and am not sure I can find 3 of the same style in any low-end stores at this point. I could so kick myself because I almost bought them 2 months ago, but I talked myself out of it. Grrr!

So anyway, I am now skirting Ebay and various other sites. Wish me luck on this!
