Leif got radiation and another unit of blood today, both of which made him feel crappy. Not nausea, and not pain, but a bad feeling that resembles nausea except that his stomach's not involved. The scan yesterday showed that his spleen has not gotten smaller since the radiation started. I was surprised by that, since his belly is definitely smaller, as measured by my highly scientific Hug Test. Anyway, that's disappoining.
But, as one of his doctors says every morning, "forward!"
Below is a photo of Leif with his new hospital room art, a beautiful collage put together by some of his Belfast friends and admirers. Since Leif has prosopagnosia (face blindness), he finds photographs of family and friends rather annoying; he can't tell who the people in the picture are, except via contextual clues, clothing, etc. Thus unlike most people, he doesn't get an emotional boost from looking at photos of loved ones. So his friends sent images of things besides themselves, instead.
