Just venting about it is good, I think. If your spouse isn't familiar with this, I suggest letting them read your post. Nothing wrong with written communication if you can't get it out verbally.
I feel alone. This is weird with all I've been doing these past few months. I have never had less alone time in my adult life. Yet I feel more alone. It's also weird because everything seems to be going so well. I couldn't be more optimistic. But there's this creeping feeling of loneliness for seemingly no reason.
He seems to have recovered from this round of chemo already. His appetite was ferocious all day. We didn't expect this until at least tomorrow, maybe Monday.
Physically and mentally: he WILL adapt to the chemo and his rebound period will shorten. The trade off is: it might take more than a year for him to get back to "normal" once he's OFF the chemo. Mom still has low days and it's been more almost two years since her regimen. They are fewer and farther between, but they do happen.
I have a job interview tomorrow. During a chemo week. It's awful timing. It's going to be a miracle if I'm prepared for this and it feels like I've already used up my share of miracles here. And if I get the job I could be set for life. No pressure.
Good luck. I know it's easier said than done, but try not to dwell on your father during the interview. You say he's doing well and there's nothing to be done while you're in the interview. Good luck, both for the interview and your father.
