We appreciate Linda and Kerri from 3 North (Fox Chase) stopping by to say "hello". Great to hear from you! Please tell all the gang Earl is doing well. Still not winning any foot races, but he's still walking several times each day. Also eating better each day. So far, he hasn't lost any of his meals since the second discharge from FCCC.
His incision has finally healed. There was another place near the bottom that puffed up and I squeezed for a few days. We have finally left off all bandages as of yesterday.
We are waiting for the chemo Dr. to call. He was to contact Dr. Watson and then let us know when treatments will start. We expect to hear something in the next couple of weeks.
Earl is having to buy new Jeans & dress pants. He has lost so much weight, he's having trouble keeping his pants from falling down!! Finally donated a BIG bag of his pants. His shirts are swallowing him whole, too, but they won't fall off!! :-)
He has discovered the motorized shopping carts. He has used them the last couple of trips to grocery or other shopping. Now, I'm the one trying to keep up! He can go & go & GO! He was spending a lot of time sitting somewhere on a bench, while I made the rounds. Not any more!

Lil and Earl,
Very good to know you are both doing OK. HAVE BEEN PRAYING FOR YOU. No time for deep breaths here either.
Mom has been in Baptist Hospital heart unit for 4 of the last 7 weeks. She has congestive heart failure, diabetes, and alzheimers.
We have had to begin shots 4 x day after we ck blood sugar and use a scale for units of insulin; oxygen attached to her cpap machine nightly and daily as needed; xyopemene and albuterol breathing treatments; exercises daily; special menus; etc. We were taking turns staying with Mom until we are about to our max and have hired 3 people to stay with her 24 hrs a day.
Don't know how long we can afford $7200 a month plus her meds and other needs. Maybe one of us will win the lottery and share with you as well.
Did I tell you that I lost a granddaughter in March? Thank God for our sanity!
Later..love joan
