You are a great caregiver trying to do what your husband wants and also at the same time taking care of him. Im sure you were very scared with Jim getting so sick and bleeding. I never knew altitude would bring with it so many problems. Im glad you posted this so others are aware too. Now that you are back home things will get back to normal. Your OCF family is always here to lend an ear and a shoulder to dry on, wish it was in person but this is as best as we can offer. You are doing a terrific job and dont ever second guess yourself or let an outsider (the nurse) judge the job you are doing  ChristineSCC 6/15/07 L chk & by L molar both Stag I, age44 2x cispltn-35 IMRT end 9/27/07 -65 lbs in 2 mo, no caregvr Clear PET 1/08 4/4/08 recur L chk Stag I surg 4/16/08 clr marg 215 HBO dives 3/09 teeth out, trismus 7/2/09 recur, Stg IV 8/24/09 trach, ND, mandiblctmy 3wks medicly inducd coma 2 mo xtended hospital stay, ICU & burn unit PICC line IV antibx 8 mo 10/4/10, 2/14/11 reconst surg OC 3x in 3 years very happy to be alive | | |
