Thought of the Week

  • "Having OCD is like being allergic to life - every waking moment is spent in a state of mental hyper-sensitivity.”

Why am I returning to this blog after so long?

During this next year, this blog will "document" Devin's OCD, and the improvements she makes. In no way is this blog meant to make anyone feel sorry for our trials. We know that trials are merely blessings in wolves' clothing. Because any improvements will be minor and subtle as the days go by, I want to write it all down so that I can look back and see how far Devin has come. If you are a first-time reader, I suggest you begin by reading this post. It will give you some background and show you a starting point. Comments are welcome, but please be kind. This is not an easy illness to deal with. We're all just doing the best we can.

Day -7 Last Round of Chemo Begins

Today was pretty uneventful, until I left to go home to the girls. Just an hour after I left, I called Darin and he said he had a splitting headache. They thought it was a reaction to the chemo, and also a hangover. They put alcohol in the chemo to help dissolve it, because water just doesn't do the job. I hope the Bishop doesn't find out, he'll take away Darin's temple recommend. j

Darin's sister, Connie, showed up to visit him just in time to watch him through three stages of throw up. The loud stage, the quiet stage, and the juicy stage. Maybe that's too much information? He did say he got his appetite back after that. But, he's already feeling the chemo, and he said his mouth was burning and he felt like his head was going to explode.
