The "team" got together last night and decided since all the nunbers are coming down and my vitals look good, I can go home today and take the antibiotics at home. Of course, nothing is certain until I smell the fresh air. Now all I have to do is learn how to cope with my new appendage. Should really give it a name - accepting all suggestions. The only way this comes out of my side is if they are able to shrink the tumor and go back in and and try to clear the whole duct so it can go back to draining in the body. Something tells me that could be a long way off.
Had a very good day yesterday. Geoff came over with the Sunday NY Times, helped me wash my hair with real shampoo - still looks like crap- and then I gathered my bag and we took a awalk around the perimeter. My legs felt stronger which I was really pleased about. A short while after we got back my good buddy Robin showed up. It was so so so good to see her. We all chatted for a bit and then Geoff got on his bike and pedalled home in 24 degree temp. Nuts!
Robin and I talked, laughed, cried and even managed to get to some ot the Sundy Crossword. We have known each other since we were about 11 growing up in Flushing, NY. We are definitely family, Just as she was packing up to go Geoff returned. Good timing.
Drs. came in and out while we sat here trying to take it all in. Dinner came and the lovely gal from the cafeteria gave Geoff a meal. So he had most of mine plus his own. Noboday has to worry about Geoff not eating. He stayed until the Celtics whipped the Grisslies. Bit tribute night to Marcus Smart..
So as for next week, if in fact I do break out of here, I know a lot of people want to come visit. There is nothing I would like more, but for the next two days, I really have to get reacclimated to home and build up some strength to go to Dana Fabert on Wednesday. So let's see how it goes after that. As someone has been trying to teach me "one day at a time". Not really my style -- I'm so far ahead I'm arguing with my mother and petting the dog! But I am going to do my best.
So please send all that goood juju down to Dana Farber at 8am. After that we go for genetic testing. Whoopie!!
Another sunny day - things are looking up.
Love you all. Take care of each other -s
Hope you do make it home today and all goes well on Wednesday 🙏
