My leukemia's back.

Sometimes having bills to pay overpowers common sense.

Umm..... Probably more than sometimes.

I'm the same way....I drove into town yesterday...... When my wife told someone I went to the store in Marquettes they said "on those crappy roads"....... My wife then told her imatating my voice "I drove back and forth to Marquette for 30 , years everyday regardless of how bad the roads were.....blah blah blah"
The Lady laughed...... And I didn't think they were that bad ....

Some people are WAY more concerned about a little snow on the road than others.

Snow I can deal with - it’s after the Zambonies come through and the snow becomes slick and icy that I hate it!

Thank you everyone, February 2nd we see the surgeon. Hopefully hubby will get the ok to return to work. Most importantly he wants the trach and peg tube removed. That's a slow process, however hopefully the worst is behind us

Hard to get through... but eventually you will get there.

The first time (first cancer) my dad had his feeding tube in for 6 months. In hindsight, I SUPER wish we had been able to talk him into ALL of the mouth physical therapy! It makes a huge difference! Because he didn't do the physical therapy like he should have... we maybe should have left the feeding tube in longer. It can be very difficult to get enough nutrition without it.

Now we are at cancer 2... feeding tube back in, but this is a small intestine feeding tube, not a stomach tube.

He got another two units of blood the other day... but then they took out his chest tube... and one other tube (forget what it was) but they think the bleeding has now stopped. Hate not knowing exactly where the bleeding was coming from...

He is still in the ICU.. but yesterday he got to sit up for the first time.

Alaskan, hoping your dad improves even by inches, each step forward is a blessing.

Baby steps. Even those are good.

Sitting up and having tubes removed are good things...thanks for the update Al, we're all pulling for him!

Al..all I can do is pray, let you know that, and hope you feel the real meaning if this cute little hug that has been put on here to help us show our feelings.
