Today is my husband's 31st birthday. Where have the last nine years of us being together gone? Although we don't have the money to do anything I know that just us being together is the only gift he wants. My parents are out of town for the weekend because they went to my step cousin's wedding about three hours away, so Travis and I have had the house to ourselves. As much as we love my parents (and it is weird without them here), we have enjoyed it just being the two of us. We have done nothing but sit together and watch movies and cook. Last night for dinner Travis made Fried Ravioli and a salad (it was SO good) and tonight I made Paninis (they are basically a grilled sandwich). This morning Travis made me breakfast in bed...well I wasn't in bed, I was sleeping in the recliner, but whatever. Anyway, he made Biscuits and Gravy. In the morning (which it already is, so I guess in a few hours) I hope to get up before him and hopefully not be in any pain, so I can make him a birthday breakfast. I don't know what I'll make but I can think of something.
Other than the little pain I had today, I haven't been in pain at night or really during the day since I have started taking the chemo drug. I thought I would be in a lot of pain since I haven't had the right dosage of my Morphine. I am suppose to take 275mg of an extended release Morphine but since I can only get five narcotic refills a month at the pharmacy, I haven't been able to take anything but 75mg. I have 15mg of instant release Morphine which I am suppose to take for the onset of pain. It says I should take two to three every two hours at the onset of pain (and apparently it kicks in after fifteen minutes), but I take five. Basically for me it works like an Aspirin. Oh well just a few more days and I can hopefully get back on track with my medication. I don't like my medication to be screwed with..
Anyway, that's what's been up these last couple of days. My parents come back tomorrow so it will be nice to see them, and tomorrow night I am going to attempt to sleep in my bed again. It's been a few weeks and now and I have been able to sleep through the night (well I have these last few nights I have) so maybe I can actually get a good night's sleep in a bed. Speaking of bed, that's where I should be since it's 2:15 in the morning. So good night and good morning and happy birthday Travis, I love you!!!! <3 xoxo
