What great news on the Visiting Nurse front. That will be a big help, especially since you are so remote.
It sounds like you are in good shape to start on Monday. And, I'm glad you have time tomorrow to relax and enjoy the day.
You are going to be happy you got the port in. The past two weeks of chemo, my husband's usually cooperative veins were not very cooperative.
Amidst all of your medical procedures, are you keeping up with getting in loads of calories? Ice cream shakes, mashed potatoes and gravy, really creamy macaroni and cheese...and, all those other things they tell you not to eat in diet magazines? Those are all GREEN LIGHTS now and for as long as you can tolerate them!!!
How did your kids fare while you were in the hospital?
