SO I came in to work yesterday, lasted for about an hour and a half and then went home. Back to work today, not really feeling that much better, but not feeling bad enough to go home.
LifeWife went and picked up D1 from chemo treatments yesterday. D1 was overtired, zapped by the rigors of the chemo and while appreciative, wasn't able to make up her mind about what to eat. Very frustrating for LifeWife because she knew that D1 wanted to eat, knew that D1 knew she should eat, but was unable to decide what to eat. We have noticed that D1 is really not gaining any weight at all and we are upset about it. D1 is being very protective/selective about what she will and will not eat (all based on info from the naturopathic college). No sugar no wheat no this no that and consequently (it seems to us) there really aren't too many choices available. We'd like to see her scarf back a bacon double cheeseburger with fries with gravy and a large chocolate milkshake, anything that will put some meat on her.
We are continuing to learn to adjust our mindset to acknowledge that she does not need/want us to dictate anything to her, she absolutely will not do anything SHE doesn't want to do. We are learning to live with and accept that. Sometimes we as parents DO know what is best. (That is the frustrating part.)
