His RO ordered the PEG. Should my first call Monday be to him or the MO? Or the dietician who came with home health care?

I will contact his boss tomorrow. Phil is worried b/c he's used up all paid time off. He has FMLA and short term disability. He's started sleep talking and he's usually working. A few minutes ago he was working on a wireless router, then woke up knowing he'd been doing that!

I think the drugs he's on are messing with his mind: Vicodin, dilaudid AND morphine. I'm frustrated and feel helpless since I can't drive even. His blood counts, etc. are excellent. Apart from the dehydration and the radiation burn, he's healthy. Sound weird each time the MO says that, but it's true, I guess.

Just got the okay to head home. Yea!

This is not how I planned to recover from a hysterectomy!
