I know he sucks and my relationship with him is complicated but please send good karma. I’m not ready to have to bury my old man and deal with selling this house and moving. Besides all that, I don’t want my parent to die, because I’m not a cold bastard, yet at least.
Lots of good karma your way, friend.
Chemo sucks. It will probably make him cranky, irritable, and tired.
It can be hard to consume enough calories due to the nausea. Juices help a lot, but not too much orange juice because it’s pretty acidic.
Avocado and eggs pack a great nutrient and calorie punch.
And make sure to take time for yourself. Schedule it so that you get your space and your time before you reach your own breaking point. It’s a marathon, not a sprint, so conserve your emotional energy as a precious resource. For your own sake but also for his.
Probably he’s going to be an insufferable mix of irritated, tired, nauseas, and generally sick of that shit and unpleasant to be around so mentally prepare yourself for that and plan accordingly.
Good luck, friend. Much love to you and your asshole father.
