Hi, Eric - and the rest of my favorite team!

It is a dreary wet day here in Virginia - wish I could have stayed home. Tom is doing much better , however, so I'm a little less apprehensive about leaving him home alone. He does want me around all the time, and I do believe that is a sign of him still being very much 'on-edge' about the outcome of this thing.

He is taking in generally 6 cans of Jevity a day, along with his coumadin and the laxative stuff they prescribed. He's on 75 mcg of the Duragesic patch and except for occasional break-through, he's doing fine with that. I don't like that it makes him 'twitch' all day long, asleep or awake.

Heavy sigh......instant gratification is not part of this program, I can surely see. Right now I can't even look at pictures of him 'B.C.'
I get too sad. The radiation seems to have done a number on the hair at the nape of his neck as well as his beard. Don't know quite how we'll be able to work around that later on...........

Eric, we are going to Emerald Isle, NC for a week coming up soon. Are you anywhere near I95?

Everyone - please take care of yourselves. Don't know if I mentioned this, but I had a scare with a recall mammogram last week. Thankfully, I've been given a clean bill! God is good.

Love,
Nicki
