And we're off! ...like a herd of turtles...

We've been home for two weeks now. Judy has been getting a little better every day. The progress is slow, but it's progress. She is still battling the nausea, but is able to eat well. She has started physical therapy and is moving more every day. It is a long road ahead still, but we're going down it - slowly but surely.

Home Sweet Home

A little know fact from the animal kingdom: Bad Gnus often follow good gnus around wherever they go, trying to get them in trouble.

The good news, of course, is that we are indeed finally home from the hospital. Yay! Apparently though, our journey is not yet destined to smooth out. Since returning home yesterday in the early afternoon, Judy has been very sick. Nausea. The kind that makes you not want to breathe, let alone move...or eat. So, we got that going for us, which isn't nice.

Hopefully, she's just feeling the continues effects of radiation treatment. If that is the case, then she should continue to feel better every day. Here's hoping!

One more night?

Well, it looks like after 55 days, 30 radiation treatments and 6 weeks of chemotherapy we are finally going home. As early as tomorrow, Judy will be discharged. She has been steadily recovering from the high dose radiation 'boost' they gave her last week. Yesterday she had one final minor surgery from which she has recovered beautifully. Because of that and her continued strength, they are set to discharge her. I'm holding my breath a little because it always seems like as soon as I say we are coming home, something happens to delay it. But it really looks good - all of her doctors have already signed off so it's only a matter of getting paperwork in order and prescriptions, etc. in place.

It will 6-8 weeks before they will scan again to see the state of the tumor.
