A day out of the hospital.........
Linda is doing pretty good today. The visit to the medical oncologist got her the "green light" to restart radiation tomorrow morning...we checked in with the dietician to make sure the regimine for the tube feeding was being done correctly (it was).....Linda needs 13 hours a day to "eat"....if she drinks 32 ounces of water day in addition, she has everything covered....so she is sipping tea all day.
Linda's preference is to do the feeding during the day..so although we got a bit of a late start today, she will finish around midnight...she feels she will sleep better without having to continually getting up if she does it during the day. Son Jim is here to help with things....Son Jeff and I will be going to Eugene tomorrow for the day to set up music for the Wings couples seminar this week, Linda and I were to attend.
Linda ran into her cousin Johnny who visited her in the hospital...he is from Nebraska and he and his wife, Pat are visiting her sister who lives in Redmond...later they all came over to visit....amazing to run into him in Sisters while we were getting some more prescriptions for Linda.

Good to see you out and about Mom. You're an amazing woman and it was so good to see you this weekend. I miss my mommy fix!!! I can't wait to see you again. And remember, as tomorrow comes and radiation with it- only NINE MORE DAYS!!! You can do it- I know you can.
I love you, Janine

So good to see you back on your way.Love your smile:). All that nutrition will help the healing. When you restart the chemo, keep ahead of the nausea. Were you using Zofran during your treatments? That is a good drug while you have the chemo in your system but it can cause headaches as well. The drug Kytril is a close cousin. If the tube feeding startes to make you fill bloated you may want to ask about Reglan to keep the intestines moving.
You are doing great....
Love Denise
It was fun to see the picture of Johnny and yourself in Sisters. You both look great. Keep on keeping on Linda - I love your spirit! Janet Chubb
You look amazing, Linda! Like your old self, but with a funny tube up your nose. ;-) I'm so extremely happy to see you out of the hospital and smiling your beautiful smile!
Glad you're getting back to radiation. The sooner you restart, the sooner you're done!
Keep flashing that smile of yours. It's what lets everyone know, more than any words, that you're doing well.
So glad to see you out on the streets of Sisters. You look Marveleous!!!! Keep up your strengh, there is a light at then end of the treatment tunnel, beaming. You can do it, I know you can. I can hardly wait for you to be your old self again all the time. Love You. Judy
God, I love that hair. When your hair grows back you have to continue with those highlights. Snazzy! I'm so glad you're home.
Love to all of you,
