This was a fairly productive week. My sister and I managed to get some things in order and we have set up the home tube feedings with the pump. Bought a recliner so I can sit comfortably and let the pump run during the night. Next week I start the Erbitux. We have an appointment with the attorney to make sure that everything is in order there and I am working with my friends to have my dogs all taken care of also. Then I hope that I can sit back and feel pretty good for several months.
