Monday Night and lots going on

The good news is that not much is going on with Trish, but the bad news is that I will be flying home on Wednesday night. Andy has to have surgery on his shoulder Thursday. He has a SLAP lesion and if he really wants to play lacrosse in his senior season as he is a captain this year -- he'll need the surgery asap. He should rehab in time to play, but he'll have at least 4 weeks of pain and lack of use of his right arm before he can start the rehab process. I expect I'll be home for at least a week unless Trish needs me sooner. When I wrote to work to let them know I would be taking Thursday and Friday off, my subject was: " it sucks to be me".

Well the good news is that Trish is stable and mostly bored at the moment, and she has at least two more weeks as an inpatient, so it is a good time for this to happen. As I have said many times, it could be worse. I am just hopeful that it doesn't get any worse any time soon.

Trish's nausea has passed tonight. Her skin looks a little darker and the chemo sunburn on her neck and back are still bright, burned looking and peeling. She says her throat is feeling better though and that is a good thing.

I could use your help entertaining her over the next week or so. If you have a chance give her a call (suggest 10a-10p), send her a card, send her an email. Let her know you are thinking about her over the next week or so. It could be a rough week if she develops GvH especially while I am gone.
