Back to Radiation Oncology today, then on to surgeon who did hernia repair last week. About 6 oz of fluid drawn from surgery site, back next Monday to do it again.

Radiation Oncologist read chest CT report from June, which states emphesema, as well as nodules in lung, was supposed to f/u with another CT in THREE months, now it's SIX months later, and we havan't had another CT.

You can bet I'll be on the phone with Baptist TOMORROW to arrange ASAP!

Buzz INSISTED upon driving the 40 miles to Pinehurst today, but was not as 'chipper' after seeing the surgeon, so he ALLOWED me to drive back!

Doctor told him last Thursday NO DRIVING for at least TWO weeks, and DO NOTHING for 4-6 weeks...what can I do??? tie him to his lounge chair?? You GUYS....it's HARD being the caregiver...I always have to be the 'bad guy'.

His weight is stuck at 160, so the dietitian gave him a big bag of Carnation VHC, for which I'm thankful. Will order more tomorrow through local pharmacy.

Pray that I don't HURT him (lol) before he has time to get well!
