February 23rd and Still in Hospital

As I woke up this morning, I felt like "It's time to get out of here"!!! All is going well as the doctors, nurses and entire team are taking great care of me. The good part is I'm not being stuck every time someone comes in. With the port they can excess whenever they need and believe me they are on top of things. I have a team of doctors and nurses which work together to insure I get the most out of my treatments and care. When I was brought into the hospital, I was not very happy, as you can imagine. I was in pain that I never want to feel again. The radiation has burned the inside of my throat in two different areas. Because I am who I am, I ate what I wanted..chocolate, popcorn etc. Robbin was very sure I was going eat a square meal too. Anyway, my burned throat got infected! With all the up to date medications that are available, I had relief in one day!!! But this has put me two day behind on my radiation and I will finish those before I come home. Today I will start them again, which puts me at a finish date of March 1st. As far as I can tell, I will be home around the 3rd of March.

  1. Gwyn...so glad to hear you're feeling so much better. You hang in there okay and Robbin too. Two days longer is hard to take, but getting a handle on the infection and feeling better are well worth it. Hopefully, they'll turn you loose soon, but better be good...sorry about the popcorn deal. :o( Take care..all our love!
