Well I got to wash Linda's hair today with the coolest thing - a shower cap (with shampoo and conditioner right in it) that you pop on her head and then massage all over and then whip it off, towel dry, and she has clean hair. I thought it was quite the invention. I think they're starting to train me for when she goes upstairs. So they've found another pocket of fluids on the other side of her chest so tomorrow another tube goes in to drain it. Dr. Temple (he of the magic hands who got rid of the c.) said a few people do develop these pockets - just the body's way of dealing with all the fluid that's still in there. The infections seem to be under control - her WBC has not gone up - good news!! Steph had her up and about today - more walking and she's talking about getting a tall walker for Linda so she can go farther afield. She's slowly getting stronger. Wonderful visit from Stew and Eleanor this afternoon - both said Linda was looking great (and she truly is - good colour, bright eyes) - and Linda was thrilled to see them.
Yes she had her chicken broth!
Hi Lorraine, the shower cap shampooer sounds pretty interesting...hmmmm...bet you're learning soooo many new skills being the 'Princessessss Private Nurse' !!

Glad you had a visit from Eleanor & Stew, I talked to Eleanor yesterday (as I am looking after your place now)...she was very excited about seeing you & Linda !! Love to All XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
ReplyDeleteThe picture looks great - so good to see you all. Linda, I'm sure you enjoyed that chicken broth as much as a turkey dinner.
ReplyDeleteLisa, Lynn and I are meeting at Alexander's tomorrow - we'll toast you. It's soo good to read about your returning strength. All the best to you and Lorraine.
Homemade chicken broth or corporate food, hmmm which would anyone prefer? And then made with love!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear Linda is looking better and moving better too. Good news about the white blood cell count being stable. Fight, fight, fight.
