102 2f
We feel like we've been in a holding pattern this week. Dr T is away - off visiting in Ontario - and so no major decisions can be made until his return sometime next week. Dr Mack (his associate - a real Doc not a resident) has been popping in to check on Linda and seems pleased with her energy level and progress. He's ordered an ultrasound for this morning - to check on the status of the pockets of the 2 remaining drains (#1 is putting out virtually nothing) and a CT scan for tomorrow so Dr T will have up to date info when he returns. Dr Mack did tell us that fistulas can take 3 months+ to heal - that sure burst our 'goodness, isn't Linda stronger' balloon. But we're determined to stay positive and optimistic about coming home. We have had a few outings this week - mainly to malls and Tracy's - but lovely just to be out.

Linda & Lorraine Good to hear the positive news. I gues that is one thing we can't control, the rate our body heals, but I guess the main thing is it heals. I can imagine how anxious you both are to get home, but the main thing is you are as healthy as can be when you get home. Take care and I wish you both nothing but good things in 2011. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
ReplyDeleteCare continues to sound good and so does your resolve! :) You know the holidays are over when you sleep through the alarm you didn't need and then get to the office, forgetting what you're supposed to do! LOL Stay positive, and so will I. cheers and love.
ReplyDeleteGood morning from snowy, but far too warm Vernon. It is so slushy now! We are glad that you are able to get out and do some things now that L's energy is better. Just keep going with the positive progress and the fistulas and drains will all drain away under your resolve. Good luck with that CT today.
ReplyDeleteAnd so it goes.....in Montreal awaiting PET Scans on the bond and lung mets.

Hugs to all
