Not much of note today. I had a visit from the home care nurse and we are going to space the remaining ones out to align with the chemo instead of burning through them all now when I don’t need it. I bought my own instruments to monitor the same vitals that they have been […]
Just another day working
Today was pretty much just a normal work day. I spent the day at the office, mainly in meetings and just relaxed this evening. Frank and Liz did some shopping for me, laying in provisions for when I am in the chemotherapy. For dinner Liz made a very reasonable reproduction of the Gouda Mac & […]
Training complete.
Today was my official teaching session. We arrived at the office in Encinitas and pretty quickly were back in an exam room where we started out watching a movie that covered Chemotherapy in more general terms, then one of the nurse practioners came in to brief us on the specific drugs that would make up […]
Another good day.
Today was long but good. I had to get up at 6AM for a 7:30 doctor’s appointment. The good thing about the 7:30 slot is that you are the first appointment of the day, so there is very little chance you will be waiting long. I met with my new primary care physician and got […]
Not much new today.
Today was as close to a normal Monday as I have had since December. With the exception of a visit from the nurse, I spent the day in my office here at home working. Thanks to modern technology, I was able to call into some meetings and using my web cam everyone could seem my […]
Earned another badge
Today started out like the last few. I woke up feeling better than yesterday a little more healed and less sore. It was mainly another lazy day with a football game to watch at 10AM ( sorry to see the Steelers go down in flames ) and then heading off to see some friends to […]
Lazy Saturday
Not much to tell for today. Continuing to feel better as I heal from the surgery. I spent the day in mostly napping and watching television. The most noteworthy thing for the day was that I can now sit up without rolling on my side. This may not seem like much to anyone who has […]
today was a good day.
So another day and even more healing from the surgery. The swelling has been going down daily and I almost have a wait again. I had a visit from the home care nurse today and she changed out my “apparatus” (the pouch system) for me and showed me a slightly different technique than the last […]
Another day, and optimism is still high.
The big event for today was the meeting with my Oncologist. I woke up feeling better than yesterday, the surgery trauma is healing nicely and my ability to sit up and get out of bed it getting much better. The meeting was for 1:45PM, so I had the morning free to relax and fill out […]
First full day at home
Today was a good day. I woke up in my own bed and ate all of my meals in my own home. Frank and Liz are still here helping me do things that I would normally be able to do for myself. They are a tremendous help and I really appreciate their presence. I managed […]
