Mom really is Human!

Today was a day like most others. Off to the daily treatment, home again for the never ending tube feeding. The radiation is really starting to take it's toll. Mom is not one to ever complain and she has the highest pain tolerance I have ever seen, but we can tell she is really starting to hurt. It is so painful to eat even the most simple foods and when she tries, it's even more painful as it comes back up. It is to be expected of course, but this knowledge doesn't make the pain go away. Of course she forgets she's not super woman and tries to busy herself through the day as if it she has all the energy in the world. She then has to pay the price of utter exhaustion by the end of the day. We have to remind her it's ok to take a nap or three during the day. Hopefully tomorrow she'll rest and relax and let her body heal itself. We are all so proud of her and wish she didn't have to go through this ordeal. As always, she ends the day as she begins it, with a smile on her face, ready to face what ever comes.
