Good news after all...

 We were able to bring Carol home from the hospital.

UTI and pneumonia are handled. Her strength and
stamina are improving. Still a bit of a struggle to
keep her oxygen level above 90. She has to be on
oxygen 24/7. 

They have her scheduled for a chemo treatment on
Monday, Dec. 22. I don't think she is strong enough
yet and am trying to get feedback from the oncologist
to see about postponing the procedure. One of the nurses
there said it would be our decision. I want the oncologist's
opinion. Why isn't that happening?
Supposed to get info today.

It feels like a clusterfuck again. Whatever is right for Carol
is what should be done. 

It's good to have her home nonetheless. 

 

Damn...

There is no god.
There is no god to damn.
Just life.
Damn life.

Dear Emily...

 

I had something
very different
original and
very angry
ready to
post but I
chickened out
for the moment.

It only hurts when I...

laugh, stand up, sit down, lay down, get up,
cough and gawdforbid sneeze.

Home from the hospital on Saturday.
Progress is never fast enough, is it?
They're telling me 3-4 weeks before I'll be
approaching normal. Such is life.

I'm more worried about Carol. She's been
in the hospital since Nov. 30, initially for a 
severe UTI. They took care of that but have
been struggling with clearing pneumonia.
She had one chemo treatment but of course
that is all on hold for who knows how long. 

They put her on 24/7 oxygen as of today and
visitors have to wear masks. They don't seem 
to have answers just trial and error and wait
and see what happens.

Ann is still being the one who takes care of us.
At least being home now I can deal with bills. 

 edit: I am an airhead.
Forgot to mention the reason I was in the hospital this time
was for the ostomy reversal surgery. No more bag!
