My partner and I are both educators in somewhat individual fields. The sisters and Mom are buy the spaghetti. that is the funny thing the family are all night owls. Well I'm off cooking marinara sauce and realized that it is 8:40 and no one has eaten. they are great people I just don't have the language well enough. This does relieve some of the pressure of not being able to say a lot to Carl or his parents. Grand baby is in Montana, well mom is and soon to be grandson is kicking up a storm lately. The rest of my clan is too far to get here so will be later in the fall before the see us. I should mention that my kids, ex wife and sister have all been in contact and my sister in Vancouver was over to see Carl and her husband as well. Just not enough to build him quickly back to where he needs to be if surgery is an option. Dr said no to vegetarian diet with vegetable protein. Most of his family is Vegan or vegetarian so I need to make sure he gets protein. Things are going good with Carl, Eating good but I'm betting he did not get the protein recommended by the nutritionist. Don't want to whine downstairs though with Cancer patient on a bed down there sore knees are sort of secondary. It is feeling better but I'm way limping. So delivered the ones I got and went in the other direction Newberg and they did not have the last one either but could order it. Turns out a couple were rare and I needed two stores and a couple hours calling by the Pharmacy to no avail on one drug. I took off to fill prescriptions since we got home after they closed. Carl's sister went to visit an old friend in Vancouver with her Partner K. I'm exhausted and more sore knee is killing me. we stopped for some snacks, cashews and jerky. got there at five, family left and it was almost 7:30 before the released Carl. My school is an hour or more away form the Hospital (on a good traffic day). The family texted me about 3:45 that they were releasing Carl in an hour so I took off. We share a case load of about 80 kids, she does reading and writing I do the maths, algebra and this year consumer math. My teaching partner did a whole lot of work to get us ready. So after that I went to work for part of the day to get ready for kids on Tuesday, got that done sort of. Carl likes these guys, he likes almost everyone but feels comfortable with them so no moving hospitals. No matter because we can't do much about it. Reading between the lines I think it is the surgeon who is not available. The Head resident, a nice guy apologized but did not help my mood much. Carl got to come home but the big meeting set for 10:45 to discuss surgery, get the level of the cancer and determine the care plan did not happen. Carl has those tubes and we were shown how to take care of them in the Hospital but really cool to not have to start right away by myself. His family is here and everyone is helping, it is really great having them especially getting this started. and there were symtoms of something else. Yea lawyers have been mentioned not sure that is going to happen but christ we were going to these guys for 6 months telling them it was more then IBS. I was so pissed off, the same CT scan done Wednesday at OHSU confirmed the cancer and another done Thursday morning of his chest indicated no spread of the cancer (a good thing). that was it, no referral no nothing a basic form letter form his office. night there was a letter from the doctor here in town saying Carl was ok, Nothing on the CaT scan he probably just had IBS. we keep him form the living room/bedroom but actually he doesn't want Carl now anyway he has all these others.Ĩ/28 Still talking about last Thursday but it is Saturday. He does live outside but visits in and is just a happy camper. He has had more people walking him then ever. ![]() Puma is a good cat but not a good situation for her right now. weather is good and she likes being out in warm weather anyway so a wish come true. Her playing with the medical supplies is not cool either. ![]() Worried about her playing with Carl's catheter bag, can't really hurt him but the thought of stale pee all over the carpet is not exciting. this morning it was empty and had claw holes all over. I had an ice bag on my knee when I fell asleep. Will have to get anal about all this then but now enjoying the help.Ĭat was left in last night, she hid under the bed I think. Ill go to work Tuesday and Wed then Dr stuff all day Thursday and the family fly home. I have help for 4 days here so am taking advantage of that. I'll post a pic if I can figure out how to do it. they have been talking a lot and enjoying being together. Kathy left for the airport this morning could only take off for the couple days. Had a long telephone conversation with my ex-wife, our kids, Carl, she likes him a lot. Well Carl slept well and everyone was trying to feed him high protein this morning so that was good.
