And I'm back. Actually we got back Saturday. Our vacation was...lets say fun at times but stressful at others. Definitely had good company (Maggie, Eva, Doug and Lauren; Dad and Becky) but there was a lot of anxiety for Jim and thus me. Jim was dealing a LOT with the hospital and feelings of neglect from his caregivers. I think this was on his mind a ton over the last week and it reflected and bled into his attitude and overall demeanor. He didn't sleep great, was moody, snappy and preoccupied. It was tough to watch and even harder to try and help and soothe. In the end, however, Jim managed to have it out with the only person who gave him any attention from UC - a nurse/receptionist. She listened to Jim rant and rave and helped him to set up the CT, which he's getting right now - 7 AM. He has an appointment with his oncologist tomorrow morning and from there we'll figure out what the next step is. We may be headed to another doctor. It's just gotten to the point where these people don't seem to have Jim's back and stress it's causing Jim can't be good for his health.
For me - I seem to cry at the littlest thing. I'm good with Jim and have managed to keep it together around him but yowza...I'm a bit of a disaster with anyone else. One thing that helped yesterday was a lovely bike ride on the trail. I went 12 1/2 miles and hope to get 15 today. I'll head out here in a minute. Tomorrow I'll go to Columbus. I'll return on Thursday. Friday I have my Lasik surgery. Jim's on 2nd shift for the next several days...maybe the week. This is good, however, since he's got a several doc appointments during the day.
And that's all I have time for now. I'm headed out for the trail and a nice bike ride before taking Sami to the vet for a follow up. I'm then hoping to get a pedicure at 11:00 with Lauren. She's not had a pedi before...should be interesting.
Okay...I'm off. Later
