Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday)

On Saturday, Mr. DW picked up Petunia and I after lunch and we visited with Sharky at the hospital. He was in pretty good spirits. He had eaten food and kept it down. Had a few bouts of nausea, but never threw up. Mr. DW was pretty under the weather (wore a face mask), so we left.

A couple of hours later, after Bug & family arrived in town, Bug & BabyBug picked us up and we went back to the hospital. Sharky was so thrilled to see our grandson. (So were the nurses. LOL) We spent a bit of time there before going home. BabyBug loved the view from the hospital window. When the sun was setting behind us, all the colors were reflected in the buildings in front of us so it was like a bright jewel tone light show. I sat with my back to the window and him on my chest looking over my shoulder. He kept his head upright for a long time watching it all. It was so cute.

Sunday, Petunia woke up not feeling well at all and Mr. DW was still sick, so we all stayed home. TBoo dropped Bug off at the hospital and he visited Sharky for a while. He drove the truck home for us. Petunia and I cleaned house and did laundry.

Yesterday (Monday) morning, Sharky had the bone marrow biopsy. It was painful. Afterward, after he ate and seemed ok, they discharged him from the hospital. Bug picked him up and drove him home. He ate dinner and rested.

Today, he has an oncology appointment at 1 pm. Bug will be driving him. Sharky can drive (and did, last night to pick up Rx from Walgreens around the corner) but it's raining and he still gets a bit dizzy. Petunia didn't have school yesterday (President's Day) but did today and BB's brother, OJO, gave her a ride. Hopefully tomorrow everything will be back to "normal" and she'll ride to school with Sharky. He's planning on going to work as regular and staying as long as he can.

In the hospital, he received a lovely plant from one of their salesman. Today, he received an "edible bouquet" from his co-workers. That was pretty adorable.
