My thoughts and prayers are with you and Tom. The radiation days are still fresh in my mind as they were just so hard. Dan didn't have any clot issues, but the pain and not able to talk for 6 weeks really got to me. I felt very lonely even though he was right there. It all seemed like it would never end, but it did. I pray that Tom heals quickly and is back home with you soon. When Dan spent time in the hospital, I stayed in the hospital with him. They didn't always seem to like it, but it helped Dan a lot knowing that he was going to get great care from me!
Take care and God bless,
Debbie
