Ann saw the orthopedic surgeon today. She'll have surgery tomorrow. A plate will placed in her left arm above the wrist. The plate will keep both arms the same length, add strength, and allow a quicker recovery.
Today, Renee drove me into Dana Farber for my acupuncture appointment. Traffic was startling light and we arrived early enough for me to make a stop down on L2 to see Maureen. Maureen is a radiation oncology nurse and would have done my discharge but our schedules got out of line. We touched base and I got the once over. My feeding tube is working well and looks good. My mouth, throat, and tongue are making steady progress. Maureen did a basic brain adjustment on me - I have to have reasonable expectations on the speed of my recovery from radiation. My swallowing will come back and my pain will lessen. I am getting closer everyday. I am getting stronger and better everyday.
On Thursday, I see Dr. H. & Dr. H. and the medical oncology team. Our friend Susan will drive us. (Currently, Ann & I are keyless per our doctors.)
Time to get ready for tomorrow. Ann appreciates the good thoughts and wishes as do I. You are wonderful.
Love...
Richard
