My work load has pretty light lately, most of it home based (physical therapy, tube feelings, etc.) Light doesn't mean easy, just less road time and small machines.
Tomorrow morning, Ann & I hit the road for Boston and accupucture. It's a long ride for a 45 minute treatment, but it's research and well worth it for the next person who walks in the door.
When I get busy, I'll post daily. Currently, our goal is to balance pain, constipation, and mouth/tongue recovery. It's a lot of trail and error. Yeah, fun! As fun as watching paint dry. While my schedule is interminent, I'll post every 2-3 days.
Hang in there. I'm hanging in here with you. Thanks for being you. This is the tough part, being somewhat isolated, dealing with the pain and stuff while away from Dana Farber. I really need and bank on you now. I have my stack of cards to walk through when I'm feeling blue. Sam - thanks for the lovely and whimsical gift (a note is pending but writing is a challenge.) You are my support and comfort. I need you and you are here. Thanks, don't know what else to say, but thanks! The one word elegantly carries such a weight.
Love...
Richard
Is the pain that bad Richard? I suffered burns to my throat and had to take liquid lortab... I now control it with nexium so the acid don't bubble up and aggivate my throat and the scaring. Plumbing issues... those were the worst... Hang in there hmmm did I say that... I was so sick of people telling me "God doesnt' give you full plates if you can't handle it" I felt like saying "well here, you have the full plate" but I didn't.. This soon will be just a bad memory
