Hi everyone,
Life is very busy with work and hubby's recovery. He is eating more and more, going to movies and working part time. He is just a bit discouraged that he has to nap most days or at least rest and that his throat is sore. Doc said that she needs to be patient (only out of treatment for a month and a half). I think that he is doing remarkably well but it is hard for him to put things in perspective. The sore throat persists but I think that he is eating more and talking more.

Does that sound right? How long did some of you have sore throats. He is afraid that it is permanent. He also has dry mouth most of the time. Will that subside too?
Hope you are all doing well.
