Today went better than I expected...I left Tim to himself to collect his thoughts. RT went fine, he was very quiet...writing me a couple of notes to tell techs some things..(he can't talk & able to swallow very little since RT kicked in 3 weeks ago). We got home, Tim & I both got all things done with his daily routine (trek, lotion, meds, nutrition, power-aid/water, and a big kiss on the forehead (one of the few places I can kiss) & a tap on his foot...then I had to go to work until 6:30. I got home and he was in pretty good spirits...considering. He sleeps in his recliner since his surgery because of trek/swallow....it just works for him. And I sleep on big couch next to him. We are both exhausted tonight and hopefully will have a positive day tomorrow. I sent out our weekly update to our close friends that have asked for updates; and they usually send Tim uplifting texts/emails. Allot of times we get a small text or email saying "sending you a Big Hug!" and it really does help sometimes.
I am hoping the Dr will give him hydration tomorrow. I am picking up a refill for his thrush (Diflucan) along with his other meds.
Thank you...it means allot.
