John's doing much better today. He is, however, receiving a blood transfusion as his platelets were low. This process will take the better part of the day. (As you can probably tell, I'm typing from John's room at the hospital.) He will probably be coming home today but -- because this transfusion is SO slow -- he might not be discharged until late afternoon/early evening.
We'll be following up with Dr. Pettit (urologist) a couple of weeks after John's final chemo infusion (Nov. 1). We'll also be following up with Dr. Low (surgeon) for removal of John's J-tube ("bag-o-meal" tube) and an endoscopy. And so it goes...
Life in Whatcom County, Birch Bay -- So relaxing, peaceful; away from the hustle-bustle of city-life in Seattle...NOT! I think we both are looking forward to returning to the doctor-free idylls of rural life where the biggest excitement is trying to figure out where the skunk, that makes it's olfactory presence known each morning when we go out to get the newspaper, is living. Now THAT'S excitement.
So go give your loved ones a hug and tell them how much they mean to you. You mean so very much to us...Thank you...Nancy
