Day +22: Dictation from Sile

"Are you blogging?"
"Right now?  No, but is there something specific you'd like me to say in the blog?"
"I think you should just write a short, two-sentence thing.  Mom is doing okay.  The doctors are happy with her progress and today she was feeling good for a portion of the day.  And say you're tired and that you might not blog for a few days but that doesn't mean anything bad has happened."
"I'm not writing that.  I don't want to deprive Dad of his opportunity to shine."
"That should be your next sentence."

Counts today were WBC 2.5, neutrophils 2.1, platelets 123 - all fluctuation expected and normal.  The day started a bit rough with nausea and other GI fun, but settled down by about lunchtime.  Visitors today were hypnotherapist, psychologist, physical therapist, and recreational therapist.  And now eating some beef and barley soup and saltines, and waiting for the Olympics to start.

Discharge day is currently targeted for Tuesday or later.  We'll spend a week or so at the Marriott (the CBYE home-away-from-home this month) before moving to a house that we've rented nearby.  I attended a discharge planning class yesterday and was thoroughly overwhelmed with information about cleaning, dust, bleach, can openers, dogs, babies, and all sorts of other fun things.  This phase of the journey is winding down, and a new one is getting ready to ramp up!

As mentioned above, I'm taking off tomorrow and my dad will be here through the weekend and Ralph back on Sunday.  Till next time!
